re: Jiu Jitsu for kids benefits? Parents with experience.

Mine did it for a year or so, he loved it. He was 10 or so, it helped his confidence of knowing he could protect himself if someone tried to beat him up.

Jiu Jitsu is mainly defense against an aggressor.

He plays baseball, basketball and football and we just didn't have time or he would still be in it.

He still pulls out moves while wrestling with his buddies though.

I would recommend it
