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.
These two are so competitive with each other so it made my son feel a bit sad that he didn't get promoted like she did. We told him that he might get his some other time and to just keep doing it.Our daughter follows direction to a T, she is like her Dad who goes with direction by the book, that's probably helped her a lot.
Our son is a carefree, happy-go-lucky boy so sometimes, he forgets that you have to follow certain and specific .rules in doing things.
Nevertheless, I am so proud of both of them for sticking into this kind of martial arts. With how crazy the world we live in is becoming into, it is advantageous to know some type of self defense and this would help them to do that.
