Improved Focus

Training in Jiu Jitsu takes many people out of their comfort zones because it is based solely on avoiding kicking and punching and little violence. Jiu Jitsu uses a variety of joint locks, chokes, holds and throws instead of the basic punches and kicks. Many children have to focus for extended periods of time since they are training against a resisting partner instead of a paddle or bag. This helps with a child's thinking process, problem solving skills, coordination, and physical awareness. Children's Jiu Jitsu also helps students at Clark Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy learn self-discipline, respect, and focus. Many parents at Clark Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy of San Diego see an improvement in their child's increased attention span and focus in school.

Positive Social Interaction

Many parents also choose to enroll their children in Jiu Jitsu because it is a great opportunity to make friends. In Jiu Jitsu you need to have a training partner to practice with, so you spend a lot of time with that person. You can't learn Jiu Jitsu by yourself and cannot learn the martial art by using paddles or punching bags. You need someone to grapple with and create a bond of trust and reciprocation. You and your partner will motivate and push each other to use your new joint lock or throw you learned on an opponent. Members at Clark Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy have become close friends and help each other refine their skills and reach their goals.
