There are many different Martial Arts out there, and it can be hard to really understand the differences between styles when you are trying to choose what would be best for your child. Here are several reasons why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the safest forms for children to begin their journey into the world of Martial Arts: Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu -- It is a non-violent yet effective and complete self-defense system. Many parents want their child to learn a martial art in order to defend herself/himself against bullies or unwanted strangers. Having a safe and foundational system of self-defense is key to children feeling confident about defending themselves if needed. Because it is completely based in leverage and submission, Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu technique actually gives the smaller opponent an advantage. There is no kicking or punching involved, unlike many other martial arts. Those striking techniques demand a level of maturity that many children have not yet developed and can lead to unintentional and harmful use outside of the dojo Kids Brazilian Jiu Jitsu -- It is a natural martial art, based in leverage and balance. Youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu uses the principles of action -- reaction, leverage, and base. Children learn to use an opponent's power as an advantage, rather than fighting against the force. We practice many different games that help children experience these principles and learn to understand how to use them as techniques. Though Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Children develop a heightened sense of body awareness and coordination, which leads to self-confidence and inner discipline. Not only do children learn how to effectively defend themselves with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but also strengthen their kinesthetic abilities to excel in any other sport of which they participate. It doesn't have to be a choice of one sport or the other THE ORIGIN OF BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU Brazilian jiu-jitsu is considered to be "the gentle art". Jiu-Jitsu emerged over 4,000 years ago and can be traced back to India and the Buddhist Monks. It was a martial art that did not involve violence or weapons. It spread and evolved over the years through Japan (officially now called Judo in Japan) and then to Brazil in 1925, when Helio Gracie opened the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school there. Helio improved on traditional jiu-jitsu to accommodate practitioners of smaller, weaker size. Focusing on technique, he was able to reduce the reliance on strength. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was first widely introduced to the United States in the 1990′s and has continued to grow and gain popularity.
