The 5 reasons why Jiu-Jitsu is the best sport for your child!

It can be difficult to find a suitable martial art for your child, you are afraid they will become more aggressive but you still want them to become more resilient to counteract or prevent bullying. A difficult dilemma.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the solution! Negotiating, calling out, and controlling is what we teach them. Read about it in this article.

  1. New circle of friends and good contact with mutual respect!
    BJJ is a sport where friendships are quickly formed on the mat. Friendships built on mutual respect, with the resilience and communication skills they learn at BJJ Amersfoort, will also benefit them when they step off the mat. They can apply these principles to make friends at school or outside in the playground.

  2. Better self-confidence through Jiu-Jitsu!
    Jiu-Jitsu is a fantastic self-confidence boost for children! They learn to deal with difficult situations and are challenged by the instructors at BJJ Amersfoort. They primarily learn that it's okay to make mistakes, and also that you don't necessarily have to win, because you can't always win, which has nothing to do with losing.

    The beauty of Jiu-Jitsu is that there are infinitely many ways to deal with a situation. What they learn in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is to apply these principles to situations in life.

    Struggling with school? Nervous for exams? A bully who won't stop?

    BRING IT ON!
    I will find a way. Thinking in solutions and not in obstacles!

  3. Discipline and respect through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
    You will notice a change in attitude after a few Jiu-Jitsu lessons. Respect and discipline increase as the BJJ lessons progress. This is because during the lessons, hard work is put into the building blocks of BJJ for children.

    1. Avoid the fight at all times

    2. If you are attacked, defend yourself!

    3. The 3 O's of BJJ Amersfoort> Negotiate-Call out-Take down.

    4. Never hit or kick the bully!

    5. Apply submission gently!

  4. Children learn self-defense through Jiu-Jitsu!
    The popularity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has increased over the years. This is for good reason!
    BJJ is safer than other martial arts, the focus here is not on punching or kicking!

    We list the 5 most important points.

    1. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu inhibits aggression!

    2. Intellect versus brute strength, which is what Jiu-Jitsu for children is all about

    3. Boost in self-confidence

    4. Physically and mentally stronger

    5. Focus through Jiu-Jitsu

  5. Achieving goals through Jiu-Jitsu!
    Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, children learn that anything is possible in life if you set goals and are willing to work hard enough to achieve them!

    Some examples of goals they can achieve in Jiu-Jitsu.

    1. Earning stripes for your belt
    2. Earning a colored belt after your BJJ belt exam!
    3. Participating in a competition and perhaps winning!

Serieuze sfeer maar wel genoeg plek voor gezelligheid en vriendelijkheid. Grootste verschil met andere dojo's is dat de trainers hier jouzelf veel laten nadenken in plaats van oefeningen tig keren te herhalen.
