Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Is the Right Choice for Your Child's After-School Activity

If you're weighing athletic activities, and especially if martial arts is on your list, we'd like to make the case for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). It's not the best-known martial art in most American towns, and many parents don't know much about it beyond a vague image of two people wrestling on a mat. But BJJ offers a combination of benefits that's hard to find anywhere else: real-world self-defense without striking, a full-body athletic foundation, mental problem-solving, and a culture built on respect and resilience.
