As parents in Cypress, we want our kids to be kind and respectful, but we also want to know they can protect themselves if they ever face a bully. Unlike traditional martial arts that focus on “air punching,” Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) focuses on real-world scenarios.
Here are the 5 core skills we focus on:
-
The “Voice” Defense: The first line of defense isn’t a move; it’s a strong, confident voice. We teach kids how to stand their ground and de-escalate a situation verbally.
-
The Safe Distance: We teach children how to recognize a threat and maintain a safe distance so they can’t be grabbed or struck.
-
The Takedown Defense: If someone tries to grab or push them, our students learn how to use balance and leverage to stay on their feet.
-
Escaping from the Bottom: If a child ends up on the ground, BJJ is the only martial art that specializes in how to safely get back up and escape to safety.
-
The Non-Violent Restraint: We don’t teach kids to strike. We teach them how to control a situation using grappling, ensuring they stay safe without needing to be the aggressor.
