Little Sharks Children's Classes:
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the ideal method of self-defense for kids because it emphasizes leverage and technique over strength and power. This focus makes it possible for all children to excel, regardless of their size or athletic ability. Children between the ages of 5 to 13 are eligible to participate in the program, those between the tender ages of 3-5 can receive private lessons to boost their motor movement, develop coordination, balance, and agility. Over time, Children will gain self-esteem and exhibit confidence with their new jiu-jitsu techniques. Our instructors constantly stress the value of when to use their skills (for self-defense, or in competition only.) The hidden exposure to direction following, humility & many other life lessons are a bonus. We enlighten everyone with many problem-solving skills, multi-tasking abilities along with cause & effect. Children who have high self-esteem have the confidence to stand up for themselves, and more apt to help others.
