Youth & Teen
If your child is interested in martial arts but you're concerned about them using it aggressively, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an ideal option. It's a self-defense system that relies on leverage instead of strikes to submit opponents, making it safe for school and home environments. Our proven techniques will equip your child to defend themselves from bullies, while promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. With athletic achievement comes boosted self-esteem and improved composure under pressure, which is why we recommend private lessons for children who struggle with aggression or discipline. Through Gracie Columbia, your child will learn the values of Commitment, Respect, Focus, Self-Discipline, and Effort - values that translate into a rewarding experience and positive results.
Our Kids and Juniors programs will work on:
- Developing listening, obedience, and concentration skills
- Improving social skills
- Improving self-control, respect, and discipline
- Increasing physical attributes such as hand-eye coordination, strength, agility, and flexibility
What makes Gracie Jiu-Jitsu so effective for kids is the fact that instead of learning moves through katas or prearranged set of movements carried out on a cooperative training partner, they will learn how to apply grappling techniques on a resisting training partner who’s not cooperating and is counteracting with his own moves, much like as what you’d see on the streets.
