Everyday I see the positive benefits of Jiu Jitsu on students lives both mentally and physically. I've been a brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner for several years. I think that the benefits that Brazilian Jiu JItsu promote would mean a lot to the students I teach. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is taught to children of all ages throughout the United States, Brazil, and United Arab Emirates (It's a class in school there). There is already a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program in a Bronx high school. I would like to introduce Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to my 4th and 5th grade students.
A wrestling mat would give a safe place for instruction and a place to practice moves. A wrestling mat is able to be folded up when it isn't being used.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is often compared to human chess. Through practice you realize that there are always options. Opportunities are available at every corner. Students who practice Jiu Jitsu will build confidence and open up neural pathways by delving into a truely cerebral activity.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also tremendous exercise. Students will receive an intense cardiovascular workout. Students will build strength and push their capabilities.
The best part they won't even know they are exercising because they will be having so much fun.
