42 Powerful Reasons Why Your Child Should Master Jiu Jitsu

I want to talk to you about 42 powerful reasons why your child should master Jiu-Jitsu and, of course, that is signified by black belt.

Introducing Our Leadership Program

And so, this is why your child should commit to black belt training to get the most out of our martial arts program here at Bam Bam martial arts. I’m not even going to talk about all the physical benefits, I’m not going talk about the self-defense and how to do arm locks and chokes. I’m taking all that for granted. I figure you know that already, about the benefits that come from physical expertise. What I want to talk to you about is our leadership program that’s involved with the black belt training. Because we’re not just trying to build kids and make kids better physically, we want to make them better all the way around. It’s a holistic approach. We’re trying to improve their whole life not just become a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu but a black belt in life too.

It Starts With A Basic Program

When kids come into us they start on a basic program and just basic simple self-defense skills and basic character development and the goal there is number one to see if a child likes martial arts. Do they enjoy this? Do the parents like our programs? So it’s a trial for them. It’s also a trial for us. Is this child a good prospect for black belt training? Do they exhibit those characteristics, those requirements needed to move along and get the most out of our martial arts program by committing to black belt? So it’s kind of a trial period for both for us and for the parents and it gives us a chance to see if a kid qualifies for a black belt training. So that’s what that basic program is.

You Kid Qualified, then What?

And if they do qualify for a black belt training and want to get the most out of that then what we tell parents is that we don’t just add on more physical technique. Of course we do, we take the kids through their whole physical Jiu-Jitsu curriculum. But there is so much more that I want to stress to you here in this video and that falls under this category here, our leadership program. So what this really is; it’s a complete personal development and enrichment program. We have a highly structured curriculum. We give out additional character material homework assignments and things like this. And this is just a partial list of the topics that we cover here in this leadership program. But it’s just a partial list. So, it’s really these forty two things plus a whole lot more.

They don’t teach these things in school. Math, science and arithmetic those things are great, those things are fine. And I highly endorse them but these things are important too. So, if you want your child to get the most out of their life, if you want your child to get the most out of our program here at Bam Bam martial arts I highly encourage you to consider our black belt training and leadership program. I promise you it is the best thing you’ve ever done for your child.
