Improved Focus
Training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu takes many people out of their comfort zones because it is based solely on avoiding kicking and punching and little violence. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu uses a variety of joint locks, chokes, holds and throws instead of the basic punches and kicks. Many children have to focus for extended periods of time since they are training against a resisting partner instead of a paddle or bag. This helps with a child's thinking process, problem solving skills, coordination, and physical awareness. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu also helps students at SFS MMA learn self-discipline, respect, and focus. Many parents at SFS MMA of Mesquite see an improvement in their child's increased attention span and focus in school.
