They won’t be glued to the TV

It’s sad to say, but many kids are excited for summer because they’re excited to watch TV or play video games all day. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Enrolling them in kids BJJ classes can keep them off the couch and away from technology, even if it only is for a few hours a week. Instead of sitting still, they’ll be getting healthy.

You don’t have to worry about keeping them busy on rainy days

As if it weren’t hard enough keeping your kids entertained during the summer, the weather has to make things more difficult. When the rain hits and the kids start to go stir crazy, taking them to BJJ training is a great way to keep them busy. They can let out all of their energy on the mats while they learn something useful.

It will help you stay sane
For your sanity’s sake, you should take your kids to BJJ classes in the summer. You can only go to the public pool, the air conditioned mall, and the expensive zoo so many times a month. And all of that activity gets exhausting.

Drop your kids off at BJJ and give yourself a break. For a few hours a week, you can relax and unwind without a child tugging at your leg asking, “What now?”

They can practice, practice, practice!

There are a lot of techniques to learn in BJJ, and the only way to master them is to practice. During the school year, it can be hard for kids to find time to go to class or to train at home. But during the summer, there’s nothing but time! Kids can learn and practice the techniques without worrying about homework or after-school activities.

It will instill self-confidence before school starts up

Whether your child is attending a new school or just is low on self-esteem, BJJ gives kids confidence. It teaches them to hold their heads up high and be proud of who they are. When they go back to school in the fall, it will be with much more confidence than the year before.
BJJ is great for everyone. But it’s especially great for kids. Don’t miss the opportunity to give your kids BJJ lessons this summer.

It will keep their brains working

Let’s be honest. Some kids just turn their brains off when school lets out. They throw their notes in the trash and save all of their summer reading for the week before school starts back up. Getting them to practice math or writing during the summer can be almost impossible.
Fortunately, BJJ gets kids thinking again. It involves analyzing and critical thinking. Without knowing it, your kids will be using their brains again.

It can help them stay healthy

Being home all day during the summer means access to junk food all day long. For some kids, it also means almost no exercise. Fortunately, you can help your kids stay healthy by enrolling them in BJJ classes. Training can get them into shape quickly, and they may even pick up some healthy eating habits. The workout kids get in class is great for the fitness and it makes them more likely to make healthy decisions when they get older.
