At Betws BJJ we offer a fun and exciting environment that can help your child develop physically, mentally and socially. Our carefully constructed syllabus ensures variety and inspiring drills in a controlled environment that will build confidence, resilience and self esteem. We encourage children to build positive friendships and healthy peer groups.
Jiu Jitsu has many benefits for children:
1. Self defence and self confidence
2. Physical and mental benefits
3. New friends and positive role models
4. Tangible goals and progression
The Gracie rules of engagement are the foundation on which the Bully Proof syllabus is based and taught to the students.
The Gracie rules of engagement are:
- Avoid the fight at all costs
- If physically attached, defend yourself
- If verbally attacked follow 3 steps: Talk, Tell, Tackle
- Never punch or kick the bully, establish control and negotiate
- When applying submissions, use minimal force and negotiate
Your child will be taught using controlled, but real life, combat situations to grapple their way into a dominant position or escape uncomfortable or compromising positions. Jiu Jitsu gives children confidence and a realistic way to defend themselves without punching or kicking another person. Our programme is designed to promote self-confidence and self-esteem to give your child the courage to say no to unhealthy choices, despite peer pressure and social pressures.
