Kids Program Detail: What will YOUR child gain by training in URSA Academy’s Kids Self Defense & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program? Kids Learn How To Defend Themselves - Many different martial arts claim to teach self-defense, but not every style is practical in the real world. With the majority of physical altercations ending up on the ground, especially in the schoolyard, children must be prepared to defend themselves on the ground and control a bully without ever throwing a punch! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the non-violent, submission based self-defense system, trusted by everyone from our military and first responders to air marshals to defend themselves, diffuse a situation, and control an adversary. Build Confidence & Improve Their Behavior - Kids with high self confidence & high self esteem are happier & healthier, tend to have better behavior and fewer tantrums or lash outs, and they are much less likely to be targets for bullies! Jiu Jitsu is an individual sport that celebrates personal achievement and goal setting, and helps children understand their own body type as they develop a style that works to highlight their strengths, and minimize their weaknesses, and helps them become comfortable in their own skin. Its Great For Their Health! - Childhood obesity is on the rise with roughly 1 in 3 children classified as overweight. Schools are cutting the amount of time spent in gym, outdoor free play, and recess. In order for children to be physically healthy and maintain healthy bodies, they MUST participate in physical activity outside of school. Martial arts is a fantastic option for ALL children, especially those children who might, “ride the bench,” in team sports. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is designed for the smaller weaker opponent to be able to outskill and beat a much larger opponent. It will challenge everyone from the non-athlete to the superstar, and everyone in between. They Get To Make Great Friends - Physical, emotional, and mental health are important, but what about “social health?’ Every kid needs friends, teammates, and mentors. Martial arts is a rare example of a sport where boys and girls practice together, leading to twice as many opportunities to build friendships. If your child makes friends easily, GREAT! They’ll make many more. If your child struggles to make friends or has some social difficulty in school, the environment at URSA Academy with other kids who share similar interests and experiences may be just what they need to break out of their shell, make friends, and have fun!
