    Kids/Youth Jiu-Jitsu Request
"But what is jiu-jitsu and what is the difference between the different styles?"

Our most frequently asked question:

What is Jiu-Jitsu?

Quite simply, traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu (pronounced "jew-jitsew") is a combination of all the Japanese arts:  judo (throws), aikido (the principle of energy to maximize throws & takedowns), grappling (submission wrestling), karate (striking with punches, kicks, and blocks),  Kobudo (traditional Okinawa  weaponry) and of course this is all taught in self-defence. Primarily, it will teach the fundamentals of one's own body as well as how to counteract an attack from an opponent.
Children benefit greatly from Japanese jiu-jitsu because it is all encompassing, promotes incredible awareness of space, self & others.  It teaches self-discipline and will increase focus and coordination.  It is an independent sport and art that will encourage children to listen to their "inner voice."  Being in a class environment also means to learn respect for students and teacher and listening to the guidance of those that "have gone before."  Humility is also the foundation of this philosophical teaching.

Kickboxing

Picture
Kickboxing is a striking art using kicks and punches from Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Thai Boxing formulated with a North American "Boxing" style for footwork and fight strategy.  Kickboxing is a phenomenal way to gain confidence and learn coordination as well as work independently.  It is fast-paced and has lots of fun elements such as spin attacks, blocking, and evasive maneuvers.  Our Youth Kickboxing program is a great introduction to martial arts for your pre-teen.  We do not spar in this class as it is a fundamentals class.  We use the heavy bags and hand pads.
