The skills that children learn from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are:


1. Self-Defense

The first goal of any martial arts training is self-defense. However, children’s Jiu Jitsu is unique in its real-world application. Most physical confrontations, especially those started by untrained fighters, will end up on the ground, leaving potential victims vulnerable, but this fighting style takes the perceived disadvantage and turns it into a strength through special techniques. 


2. Humility

One of the critical components of any martial art is learning how to be humble in both victory and defeat. As part of a community of students, our child will learn how everyone works toward the betterment of the whole.


3. Confidence

As a fighting style, Jiu Jitsu is challenging and requires focus and sustained discipline. For those who stick with the practice, confidence is a natural side effect. 


 4. Respect

Our kids Jiu Jitsu training will also expose children to individuals from all walks of life. Children who only experience social situations with those from similar backgrounds can develop biases and stereotypes, which may lead to disrespect and often confrontation. 


5. Friendship

Friendship is a natural progression in training. While it may seem strange that students who are pitted against one another in sparring sessions would be friends, the mutual struggle and practice lead to commonality and community.


6. Goal Setting

The journey toward Jiu Jitsu mastery involves a lot of stepping stones. Our child will start as a white belt, learning the fundamentals before progressing through each subsequent phase in their training.


7. Focus

Another typical skill children can develop during training is focus. It is critical to pay attention to our surroundings and position while training so we can analyze the best path forward when sparring. 


8. Dealing with Failure

Our child will inevitably experience failure during training, but they will learn that it is not the end of their journey. They will understand that failing is a part of the work. Students become empowered by failure, motivated to do better and improve their skills.


However, beyond the physical training and agility by Delaware Jiu Jitsu, students learn at least ten life-skills that will contribute to healthy growth and development.
