Jiu Jitsu for Kids - Mineral Wells Jiu Jitsu

You aren't alone when you think this because really, there AREN'T many opportunities or activities for kids other than the traditional sporting route.

Here in Mineral Wells, they talk about not having a pool in the summer time! Luckily they passed the funding this time.

So, what do you do if your kid just isn't into traditional sports?

How do you get them active?

Almost 20% of adolescents are obese.

TWENTY PERCENT!!

That is absolutely crazy and due to a few factors. But, mostly it stems from poor diet control and a sedentary lifestyle.

If a child doesn't enjoy an activity chances are they will not want to continue doing this said activity. AND, ALL activities are not made for all personalities.

Maybe your child is meek and sweet and needs to develop confidence before developing skill or he is high energy and has an indomitable will that needs to be directed positively to best maximize that natural leadership quality that child has!

This is where training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can really come in handy!

EVERYDAY the meek, shy, unconfident child will experience individual achievement. That means that THEY are the ones that are testing, applying, learning and winning. ALL BY THEMSELVES!

That can be HUGE for a child that doesn't believe in themselves to experience a win like that!

Conversely, for the child that cannot sit still and seems to have enough confidence for an entire room, it can show him that being disciplined in training can result in better results whether that be in on the mat competing for a gold medal or in the classroom trying to get his grades up!

Another Great Part of Consistently Training Jiu Jitsu:

When you are consistently training Jiu Jitsu you are WAAAAY more comfortable where a physical confrontation may happen! This is probably due to the fact that every day you're training you're actually getting into a physical confrontation.

If you're used to the physical and mental stress a fight puts on you, you will ONE HUNDRED PERCENT be more confident when a fight outside of the academy happens.
