BJJ SAARBRÜCKEN: Why Every Kid Needs Jiu Jitsu

 

7 Reasons Why Every Child Needs Jiu Jitsu

Many children can struggle with a lack of confidence. Not being confident in your abilities can be like a heavyweight weighing down even the most talented kids. Brazilian jiu-jitsu empowers kids and even adults that they are worth more and can do amazing things through their abilities to push through difficult situations.

Better Social Skills Can Be Seen In Jiu Jitsu Kids

In this study, researchers examined the behaviour of youth 113 beginning BJJ or mixed martial arts. What they found was that all participants showed better self-control and pro-social behaviour.

However, it is crucial to know that those that opted to train MMA were found to be more aggressive due to past conditions while BJJ practitioners were seen to be less aggressive.

Jiu Jitsu Kids Learn Self Defense and Become Bully Proof


A common reason why many kids begin training BJJ is due to the unfortunate fact that bullying is a real threat to the happiness of many innocent children. Raina Tumminello shares her story about her bullying incident that led her to train jiu-jitsu and make friends with other BJJ kids.

BJJ Kids Will Join A New Family and Meet Life-long Friends

Whether you are looking for private martial arts lessons to prepare you for a BJJ tournament or need help improving other aspects of your life, the answers can usually be found through someone at your gym. Brazilian jiu-jitsu brings people from all walks of life together. This opens up a large amount of knowledge and support from other practitioners.

Jiu Jitsu Kids Gain Personal Development Beyond The Mats

This martial art can create discipline because it teaches the potential to improve after consistent focused work. This can translate into all aspects of life, including writing BJJ articles as the focus needed to pay attention to a technique being taught and the focus needed to express yourself through other means, is similar. 

Personal development is an individual journey but the exponential growth of knowledge that can be gained through BJJ training can create an effective philosophy for your life.

Through experiences on the mats, children and even adult practitioners will learn lessons that can benefit everyday life. 

BJJ Moves Are Excellent Exercises For A Child’s Brain.

The personal development gained goes beyond just philosophies and habits but into overall brain capacity. You might be thinking there’s no way this can make a child develop more intelligence, but according to this study conducted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, it seems to be true. Exercise increases the growth of new neurons and cell survival which enhances memory and learning.

Jiu-jitsu moves require well-thought timing and accuracy that will sharpen a young practitioner’s mind. Having a great mindset early on as a youth can help create lifelong healthy habits.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Promotes A Healthy Lifestyle For Kids

Oftentimes you can see a complete lifestyle change from being introduced to Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The sport itself shares its physical benefits but disciplined and focused learning can keep kids away from dangerous scenarios.

Empowering kids and involving them in a healthy after-school program such as BJJ can remove the need to consume toxic substances and encourage more positive influences.

Pierre Manzo and Arthur Leroy from Jiu Jitsu Family at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken

  Yesterday, Saturday, we had the visit of our brother and good friend, Pierre Manzo , black belt under Robert Drysdale , and Head Coach at Jiu Jitsu Family. Along with him, one of his students, a talented 20 year old monster, who has been training already, in teams like the B-Team in Texas with Craig Jones, Nick Rodriguez, Nicky Ryan, Oliver Taza, etc..    The Open Mat started as usual at Casa de Luta Saarbrücken at 11:00, where every team is welcome and completely free of charge. Pierre and I got together for more than an hour where we were able to kill each other and exchange knowledge during the rolls, as well as help him with the mechanics of some of my leglocks. I also had the opportunity to roll with Arthur, Pierre's talented young student, a very technical guy with great precision on his attacks, with very good guard passes to back take, dangerous! Very dangerous. So I had to be careful with my leg attacks, avoiding at all times exposing my back by actively changing positi

BJJ SAARBRÜCKEN: Trivium’s Matt Heafy “BJJ is a way of life”

  Matt Kiichi Heafy  is one the many rock stars bitten by the Brazilian jiu-jitsu bug. The 31-year-old lead singer and guitarist for the heavy metal band Trivium has been training BJJ since 2013 (ten years after the band’s first album), and he has developed such a fondness for the Gracie art that he brings a trainer and a set of mats around with him on tour. Even if you’re not a heavy metal fan, you’re probably familiar with Matt Heafy. Last year, our very own Emil Fischer  sat down with him  to talk about his love of Brazil’s soft art. Yesterday afternoon, Emil once again sat down with Heafy, who’s now a two-stripe purple belt. This time, though, I had the pleasure of joining in. The three of us talked about leg locks and Heafy’s love for Eddie Cummings’ style, a style which Matt sadly feels he has inadequately replicated. He even went so far as to apologize to Cummings for it. He also found out that for Matt Heafy, the saying “BJJ is a way of life” is more than just a cliche.  Brazil
