Why A Martial Arts Class Is Great For The Whole Family

Are you looking for a new activity to try with your family? A Martial arts class is a great way to connect and engage in physical exercise. At Performance Jiu-Jitsu, we focus on the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu which is a great family activity.

Why Practice Martial Arts?

Learning a new skill has many benefits for the mind and the body. Martial arts is more about practicing a skill than about self-defense or fighting. It promotes patience, self-discipline, and confidence. 

While many people choose to learn martial arts for self-defense, students reap many other benefits. Gaining any new skills takes time and patience. The rigor and structure of these classes promote endurance and confidence as you learn and grow in this art form. Whether you’re learning Karate or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll gain valuable life skills.

Benefits Of Taking Martial Arts Classes

Taking martial arts classes is about more than training in self-defense. It’s a way to work and train together as you build lasting life skills. Classes like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu promote strength and endurance that help with healthy living and build confidence. Here’s a look at some other benefits of martial arts classes as a family. 

Promotes Connections

We understand that life gets busy for all family members. Different schedules and routines have demands that leave little time for family activities. Martial arts classes are a way for both kids and adults to connect when they’re learning the same information and training together. 

It’s a time when family members can form special bonds as they learn more about one another. During class, families can help one another with techniques as they practice the skills they learn in each session. 

Enhances Physical Activity Among Students

Although most schools have required physical activity programs, these are often organized sports with peers. They’re a great way to encourage exercise and team-building. Engaging in physical activity with your family members offers a new angle on team-building. 

A good martial arts program is rigorous and structured, but it’s also a lot of fun for the whole family. It’s a chance to laugh and build trust as you work together in a setting away from home. Unlike most school sports, you can practice martial arts or your self-defense skills the entire year.

Builds Confidence

Some children struggle with confidence in a school sports setting. They lack confidence in their skills, and this can create stress. When children are in stressful situations, they often struggle with academic performance. 

Practicing martial arts gives children and parents a chance to practice confidence-building in a fresh environment. Consistent training can boost their confidence as they become comfortable with their abilities. This confidence carries over to their school work, sports, and other areas of life. 

Reduces Stress

Children and adults can both struggle with stress. A martial arts program requires intense physical activity that can help relieve the pressures of life. It allows them to focus their emotions in a safe place and learn how to relieve stress in a healthy way.

When you’re dealing with less stress, you have better focus. In these classes, you learn to practice mental awareness, so you can anticipate your next move and your opponent’s move. Over time, you’ll have better concentration. This helps in the workplace and school settings.

Have been there three months so far. The head instructor Lou is extremely professional and welcoming. The atmosphere is very supportive, members all strive to help each other learn and grow as Jiu Jitsu martial artists. I originally joined to get into shape and lose some weight. In doing so, I have found BJJ to be both physically AND mentally interesting, fortifying, strengthening, as it tests your capacity to learn and grow in multiple dimensions. Would recommend to anyone.
