Kids Program Detail: Here at Team Mannon BJJ, classes for children are structured, but without the traditionalism and cultural influences of other martial arts programs. Safety is our highest priority. Youth members will learn techniques and movement skills from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a fun, non-aggressive and non-intimidating environment. We provide kids with essential training in character, self-defense, fitness, and fun! The discipline and self-confidence that children acquire in our kids program helps them grow into well-rounded adults and empowers them to more effectively handle problems, including bullying. We acclimate kids to an active, healthy lifestyle full of character and self-esteem. Kids with character have powerful coping strategies for dealing with and resolving confrontations with peers. This class is designed to instill in our young students the values of self-confidence, physical fitness, discipline, respect and mental focus. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo (which itself is derived from Japanese Jujutsu) in the early 20th century. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as “rolling”) and live drilling play a major role in training.
