Fort Lauderdale Jiu-Jitsu

TECHNICAL PICKUP DEFENSE! Jiu-Jitsu is known for its ground grappling. Few people know about the standing self defense aspect. Knowing this piece of the puzzle brings total confidence to defend yourself in all situations.

COORDINATION! Every child should learn how to have general athletic coordination because it translates into so many other activities in life. Every class starts with general coordination exercises designed to make a child agile and confident in their ability to control their body.

SPARRING!!! It’s one of the most fun parts of training if done properly. It ties together all the technical skills with the mental and physical training. It builds confidence, comradery, and physical strength. Any child can learn if taught the proper way and supported by their parents.

MUSCLE MEMORY. In self defense, your moves need to be automatic. This requires repeating a move continuously until it becomes second nature.

Another important aspect is emotional control. Even if you have muscle memory, if you lose your temper or become too afraid you will not perform at your best.

Luckily, Jiu Jitsu practice develops both muscle memory and emotional control.
