We have developed several “games” in which they must use the techniques they have learned. This allows the kids to learn in a fun way while developing their coordination and reflexes. Our instructors are trained to always keep the children motivated and at the same time disciplined.
When the student is proficient at the techniques in the Young Champions I program or turns 8 years old, they will be allowed the join the Young Champions II class. In this class they will get introduced to the power and responsibility that comes with sparring and learning submissions for self-defense.
Bullying is most prevalent in this age group.
In the Youth I and Youth II programs our students start to spar on a regular basis. After learning the moves, sparring is the most important part of their learning. Sparring works their reflexes in real time situations and is the closest thing to defending themselves against an attacker in real life.8
It’s our goal at Caique Jiu-Jitsu that ALL kids be able to stop bullying using our methods.
We teach the kids a step by step process on how to control a bully. We teach them how to be aware and use words to avoid getting attacked. Enrolled students also learn how to use jiu-jitsu to defend themselves when someone tries to hurt them. The difference between just getting teased and bullied is that when kids are bullied it has a direct effect on their everyday life.
Character Counts is designed to encourage positive behaviors on and off the mat. It focuses on strengthening our students’ characters to help them grow up with strong values and healthy habits. We will choose one topic each month and give the kids a task to complete. The prize varies every month!
