What can your child get out of training?
When kids train martial arts the core of what they are working on is developing the ability to turn frustration into focus.
The goal of training is not to help kids control everything around them, but rather to control their response to it. Martial Arts training allows students to develop the self discipline needed, not just to control frustration, but to feel it developing and intuitively channel that into focus.
Focus on being grounded and having a sense of purpose and place
Focus on the options available, not the ones they wish were there
Focus on finding the balance, leverage, and general physics required to employ technique.
To practice Jiu Jitsu is to practice overcoming adversity. Jiu Jitsu is not just a skill set to be acquired, it is an approach to discipline.
Becoming a martial artist means to understand the difference between fighting and beating someone up. You don't learn martial arts so that you can beat people up. You learn martial arts so that you know how to compose yourself and fight for an outcome you believe in. Training also helps kids find the dignity and self respect needed to avoid trouble in the first place.
The experience required to help your child understand this and develop these skills and abilities is why, if you want your child to learn Jiu Jitsu, you want them to do it at Praxis.
Praxis means thought into action. The training mat is where thought is turned into action. Consistent practice of effective action diminishes anxiety. The mat is where we practice finding the frustration, then directing that energy into focus.
Our engaging curriculum gives children the opportunity to learn through play. As they learn, they grow skill and a greater capacity to delay gratification. This helps them take responsibility for the outcomes they wish to achieve and become lifelong learners who can truly flourish.
We enjoy working with families. If you would like to try a class, just fill out the contact form below
