THE IMPACT OF BJJ ON KIDS - TENNESSEE BJJ ACADEMY & ASURA COMBAT SPORTS
At Tennessee BJJ Academy Murfreesboro & Asura Combat Sports we believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has a significant positive impact on children in various ways.
Physical Fitness
BJJ encourages physical activity, improving strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. The nature of the drills and techniques helps kids develop their motor skills and overall fitness level, which is essential for healthy growth and development.
Discipline and Focus
Training in BJJ requires concentration and discipline. Children learn to focus on their movements, techniques, and strategies. This enhanced concentration can translate into improved performance in other areas of their lives, including academics.
Self-Confidence
As children progress in BJJ, they gain valuable skills that boost their self-esteem. Achieving milestones, such as mastering new techniques or earning stripes and belts, helps them believe in their abilities and fosters a sense of accomplishment.
Social Skills
BJJ classes are often conducted in a group setting, providing a great opportunity for kids to interact and develop social skills. They learn to cooperate with others, work in teams, and build friendships, fostering a sense of community.
Stress Relief
Engaging in physical activity is known to be a great way to relieve stress. BJJ allows children to release pent-up energy and frustration, helping to promote a healthier emotional balance.
Goal Setting
In BJJ, students often set personal goals for their training and progress through various belt levels. This encourages kids to develop a goal-oriented mindset, teaching them the importance of persistence and hard work in achieving their objectives.
Conflict Resolution
BJJ teaches children non-violent ways to handle conflicts. They learn to control their emotions and reactions, promote respect for others, and understand the importance of measuring their response based on the situation.
Overall, the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers children valuable life skills that extend beyond the mats, contributing to their physical, emotional, and social development.
