Giving Confidence to the Humble Keeping Kids Out of Trouble
Funded Mar 12, 2019
Thank You for your generous donations. The team feel and act like one united team. They are working closer than ever.
They were super excited to receive the new Gi's. They instantly wanted to make sure we took a team photo that day.
They have trained hard, Recently, 4 students competed in the Big Apple JiuJitsu tournament. They did well winning, 1 gold, 1 silver, and two bronze medals. We will continue to keep students busy after school, give them confidences, and keep them out of trouble.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Colon
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose.org Community and 12 other donors.

I teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in an after school club that is open to students from all five of our campus schools. We have a diverse population of students that include; low income, students with special needs, at risk students, etc. Brazilian Jii Jitsu teaches Confidence through Self-Defense,Problem Solving Skills,Discipline, Dedication, and Respect. Our club has been featured in the UFT magazine, News 12 The Bronx, and in the NY Post. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers a way for our students to release energy and stress through exercise and fitness. It helps them build friendships, Improve body awareness and coordination. It also helps Improve students self esteem. These Gis will be used by 16 of our students that don't currently have a gi. In our club it is important that all students have the proper attire so that they feel part of the team.
