Walking into a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy for the first time can feel like stepping into a whole new world. The language, the movements, the intensity—it's a lot to take in. Remember: every black belt was once a white belt who didn't know where to stand. What helps you belong isn’t just mastering an armbar; it’s mastering the respect and etiquette that make training safe and rewarding for everyone.
Martial arts are an excellent form of exercise and physical exertion for kids. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a full-body workout – just 30 minutes of rolling can burn up to 500 calories. Classes will challenge the cardiovascular system as well as develop strength, flexibility, balance, and agility.
