Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best Martial Art for Children

Andy believes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is the best choice if you are looking to get your child involved in martial arts.

BJJ is a natural martial art based on leverage and balance. It is a non-violent yet effective self-defence system which gives a smaller person the ability to defeat a larger, stronger opponent. This is wonderful for children’s self-esteem and confidence. Children also become more "body aware", improving their co-ordination and other physical abilities which in turn helps them improve and excel in other sports and activities.

Watch your child improve:

• Physical Fitness & Body Awareness
• Coordination & Balance
• Discipline & Control
• Teamwork & Sportsmanship
• Focus & Will
• Confidence & Self Esteem
• Leadership & Cooperation

All instructors have enhanced CRB checks, public liability insurance and first aid training.

Membership

A number of membership options are available – pay monthly or annually to get unlimited access to all martial arts courses, or buy blocks of sessions in particular disciplines and train when you can.
