Absolutely!  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches children that a conflict can be resolved without physical confrontation, but it also gives them the confidence to know that if a situation escalates that they can resolve and control the situation with the least amount of force possible and without having to resort to striking their attacker.  Our Kids Jiu Jitsu classes are designed to keep your child engaged in training and to ensure that they leave class in a positive state of mind.  We teach all of our students that Jiu Jitsu is the "anti-bully" martial art, but this is especially emphasized with our younger students.  By training Jiu Jitsu regularly, your child will learn how to overcome difficult obstacles by never quitting, they will develop the confidence and courage to engage in awkward and uncomfortable situation rather than be pressured into something they don't want to do, and they will develop the character to make good life decisions.  Jiu Jitsu is also a great way to entice your child into being physically active.  They'll be having so much fun that they won't even know that they're developing their strength, balance, coordination and flexibility!
