The kids have been taking Jui-Jitsu for three months now and they seemed to like it. I am glad that they do because this would help her defend themselves in intense situation when someone will try to attack them. This also helps the children self discipline and a really good form of exercise in general.
Last night was a fight night and our young lady fought three of them. My husband said he wasn't sure why the coach let her fight again and again and then towards the end, they realized that the coach rewarded her her first stripe in her belt. That was a nice treat for her because she got embarrassed when she got paired with one of the bigger kids and slammed her face on the mat.
I've been meaning to look into martial arts for my boys. A couple of them have shown an interest and I definitely think it's something they could benefit from!
ReplyDeleteMartial arts are a great way for kids to learn discipline and patience. It looks like your kids are doing great.
ReplyDeleteLearning self defense is such an important skill that you will likely need at some time during your life. It's great that you could get the kids interested in Jujitsu!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loved it when she was in karate. It gave her much needed balance and self confidence in her life.
ReplyDeleteMartial arts is a great activity for the kiddos. They learn discipline, they become active and most importantly, they learn how to defend themselves.
ReplyDeleteI think teaching kids jujitsu is a great thing! Everyone needs to learn skills like this and it seems to make kids so much more confident!!
ReplyDeleteI loved karate when I was kid and I think my daughter would enjoy it but she is afraid to start. We had one bad experience and she is letting it prevent her from trying it again.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome, congrats to your daughter. My son is black belt in Hapmudo, it's a mixed martial art. We put him in for the reasons you mentioned. Self defense, self discipline and self control. My 5 year old starts on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with my dad teaching martial arts. I loved it and it teaches wonderful discipline.
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor little guy. It's ok though to have a bit of healthy competition, it only makes you want to be better!
ReplyDeleteI really wish that we could have kept my son in karate. It really helped him a ton but it was hard to get him to practice. I had to be home for my daughter to take her to band. It is hard having kids in two different activities.
ReplyDeleteMartial Arts is so amazing! It takes so much discipline - I love watching it! Congrats to your daughter, that's a seriously awesome accomplishment! :) Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteMartial arts is incredible for kids to do. I remember when my brother and sister where in martial arts, they did so much better at school and everything too!

This looks so fun!! I'm not sure if my kids would love this but I would love them to try it! I think it's important that kids learn self-defense.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. We're looking for some self defense classes for the girls. - yolonda
ReplyDeleteMy son also had his training in martial arts and he really happy with that. It was really fun to him. It's also a great advantage to protect himself.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so important to keep our kids active. This is a great way to keep kids safe and healthy too!
ReplyDeleteMy cousins did martial arts when they were kids! They absolutely loved it, thinking about sending my daughter when she gets a little bigger.
ReplyDeleteI didnt do juijitsu as a kid but I did some form of martial arts. My dad and uncle was into it and it taught me so much discipline and thinking quick on my feet.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was younger I lived next door to a martial arts studio. I was friends with the owners son, so he would always let me go and tumble on the mats after class. Never took one martial arts class but always went to practice my gymnastics haha.
