When it’s come to Children’s jujitsu through with submissions specifically you have to be careful about what you teach your kids and when it is taught to them. They need a healthy appreciation for the responsibilities that cause along with an understanding of ways to manipulate the body that are core to jiu-jitsu. In this article, we’ll talk about simple things you can do to ensure your child is properly acute for training consistently. As well as some effective ways to get the best out of every training session both pre and post-class.
1: Allow them to discover themselves
Properly learning from and fixing mistakes best comes from self-discovery. Even if you see blatant flaws in something your child is doing on the mats. The best way to keep the kids in while keeping a smooth progression is to ask them to bring it up themselves. With little to no fear of judgement. Instead, give your child the autonomy they deserve and let them take part in the beautiful journey of self-discovery.
2: Choosing instructors carefully
An instructor who only takes Jiu jitsu classes for adults because they drew the short straw may not be as well suited to teaching kids as the instructor. Make sure you take the time to ask about the instructor’s qualifications, as well as their curriculum. Teaching kids needs an incredible amount of patience as the attention span is short. Make sure the instructor is well equipped to handle.
3: Keep focusing on learning
When your child’s Jiu-jitsu training focuses only on things like competition, winning and earning awards, kids begin to value such outcomes over individual improvement. Rather than trying to learn and improve their skills, kids focus on the results of a tournament. When you emphasize the process and remind your child of how far they have come, your outlook reinforces the progress they have made.
4: Rewards them
Rewards are a good way to foster positive feelings in children. So, set the goals for them to help motivate them. You can motivate them by saying if they attend a certain number of classes away, they would be rewarded with a treat.
It’s hard for parents with work and other activities, but kids need to see the value jiu-jitsu brings to their life. These tips will nurture a positive and motivated outlook and help your children look forward to attending classes.
