But My Child Isn’t A Fighter, Why Do They Need Jiu-Jitsu?

But My Child Isn’t A Fighter, Why Do They Need Jiu-Jitsu?
Jiu-Jitsu Is The “Super-Food” Of Activities

But my child isn’t a fighter, why do they need Jiu-Jitsu? This is a question we get a lot from parents. They like the benefits that Jiu-Jitsu has to offer, such as increased focus, discipline, physical strength, and reduced screen time. But why do they need to enroll their child in a martial art? Can't they just play soccer or throw a football around? While traditional sports have some benefit attached to them, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is like the superfood of activities. There is so much benefit to be extracted from every single ....

What is Jiu-Jitsu & Will I Get Hurt?

What exactly IS Jiu-Jitsu and will I get hurt?
Two Misconceptions
There are usually two misconceptions when people hear the words “Jiu-Jitsu”. Either they think of a six-year-old breaking a block in karate class, or they think of the UFC star Nate Diaz showing a bloody smile, and there is really no in between. So, I suppose it's only natural to conclude that people will be concerned about getting hurt if they are equating Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to cage fighting. After all, the great majority of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners don't even compete in tournaments, let alone fight in an octagon. This begs the question, what do the rest of Jiu-Jitsu practitioners do when ....

4 REASONS YOU NEED TO ENROLL YOUR CHILD IN JIU-JITSU TODAY

4 REASONS YOU NEED TO ENROLL YOUR CHILD IN JIU-JITSU TODAY
Times are changing. Twenty years ago, the main choices when enrolling your child in Martial Arts was either American Karate or Tae Kwon Do. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was nowhere near as mainstream as it is today and wasn’t even calculated in the equation. Fortunately, just like we no longer have to choose between DVDs or VHS, your options for Martial Arts are not only more extensive but also more accessible. Just a few clicks online will reveal articles showing how Jiu-Jitsu is rapidly becoming THE mainstream activity to prevent kids from being bullied, boost confidence, & prevent obesity. But how ....

So You’re The New Kid?: What to expect on your first day of Jiu-Jitsu

So You’re The New Kid?: What to expect on your first day of Jiu-Jitsu
If you’re reading this you’ve probably considered (or have already joined) a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. Like most first-comers you’re nervous about walking into a room of people who want to strangle you. Allow me to put your mind at ease and help “set the scene” of what to expect on your first day of class.
A Warm & Friendly Environment Generally speaking I’ve found that Jiu-Jitsu practitioners are simultaneously the most respectful and the most lethal people you will ever meet. I believe this is largely due to the humbling nature of the ....

I signed up my 11 year old daughter ,10 year old son and my 8 year old son and they love it. We tried the 30 day free trail and I was amazed by all they do and we went for it and signed up the coaches are amazing and the kids have fun and they love it!! It not only teaches them to be able to defend them self's it teaches them discipline respect not only for them self but for others and that fighting isn't always the solution . I love it and the kids love it . One of the things I love is that the kids workout and that's something I was looking for so my kids can be more active. I also love that its a very welcoming place its like a big family another place that feels like home for my kids if it were for them will be there all day 7 days a week !!

I signed my 16 year old son up for this free 30 day trial. I didn’t believe it would be free but it actually is and it wasn’t a once a week only class, they asked for him to come 3 days. The instructors are wonderful. They interact and actually do what they’re teaching, explaining it and showing it as much as needed for the class. They seem to focus a lot on proper technique which is wonderful. There is a feeling of family in this place between all the ages of people, male or female a real sense of respect between everyone.

It's been almost 2 months to the day since my son and I walked through the doors at metro. I am so glad we did. School is full of great people it has done wonders for my 9 year. He is learning a ton, and really developing allot of physical and mental toughness. I have also really enjoyed getting on the mats to learn jiu jitsu, the adult class is a very welcoming environment. This past week I was fortunate enough to compete with the team at the Michigan open, seeing all of the members of the team and their friends and families out there supporting each other was something else. Metro is a great place if your thinking about it, check it.
