Discover Your Path in Brazilian jiu jitsu: Oakville

It is important to address the root causes of bullying. Contrary to expectations, bullying often emerges from low confidence, so improving students’ belief in themselves will prevent them from bullying others. Urban jiu-jitsu Canada will address the other factors leading to bullying including mimicry and abuse of power structures as well, but students will learn how and when to deal with bullying through Professor Barron’s ARM and VIP programs. The ability to control an aggressor with a minimal level of pain and absence of severe injury sets Brazilian jiu-jitsu apart from other martial arts. Urban jiu-jitsu students attain skills that increase confidence and lead to rewarding results in the community, at home, and in school including the prevention of bullying. This is crucial because Ipsos Reid Research surveys showed that “59% of Canadians said they suffered abuse by bullies as a child or teenager and 45% believed they suffered lasting harm as a result.” (2021). Self defence classes in Brazilian jiu jitsu are one of the best ways to avoid bullying. 

Urban Jiu-jitsu Canada is committed to teaching life skills and techniques truly connected to the values mentioned above. As children develop confidence and resilience in connection to these life skills, they will become more capable of protecting themselves and acting as role models for others as they learn how to deal with failure in a healthy way. They will listen better, approach tasks with more diligence, and show more respect. Our responsibility is to work with families on a protected service area cleaned multiple times daily to ensure kids are secure and ready to perform well both in school and in life. Oakville Brazilian jiu jitsu classes are calling you. 

50 minute classes introduce the youngest group to Brazilian jiu-jitsu without them learning full BJJ techniques at first. Instead, students are instructed in basic movements and positions such as rolls, side-control, mount, bridges, hip switches, back control, hip-ups, kick-outs, and cat poses before techniques are added. Many of the students are experiencing sports for the first time and learning to use factors such as weight distribution, balance, and coordination will help them deal with real life challenges and/or transfer these skills to other activities.
