New Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club in Loughrea – welcoming adults and children

‘5 reasons why it is beneficial for your children to practise BJJ: ⠀

1. Self-Confidence – As kids become more proficient in BJJ, their confidence gets boosted. Ability to defend themselves mixed with encouragement, respect, and positive progress through the ranking (belts) system helps children to extend their confidence level far beyond the gym walls. ⠀

2. Discipline – Did you ever hear the saying “Practice makes it perfect”? There’s no better way how to describe BJJ practice. Through the training, kids will learn that it takes endless repetition to achieve progress, but the joy of mastering perfect movement is incomparable. ⠀

3. Self-Defence – BJJ will indeed teach your kids how to defend themselves, but most importantly it will teach them how to avoid potential dangers and how to resolve conflicts without violence. When kids are confident in themselves and their ability to stand their ground, they are most likely to be able resolve a conflict situation without physical interaction. But, if it ever comes to a dangerous situation, they will know how to react. ⠀

4. Physical activity – Well this is obvious; fitness is a crucial element of all martial arts and it will keep your children fit.

5. Respect – When kids step on the mats they bow and shake hands with everyone. Through the training they learn to respect their training partners, opponents, teachers and most importantly – themselves.

If you have any questions send a DM and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Hope to see you on the mats!’
