Jui- Jitsu Junior Orange Belt



My second boy is progressing through his Jui-Jitsu at a very rapid rate.

He just received his Orange belt, the third of the four Junior Belts, next and last is Green.

He'll likely cruise through the four tags and have his Green by New Years.

Proud Daddy, I am.

Next up is his first competition.

Great to see youths learning the ground arts. I taught them to children and adults for 4 years, nothing like watching young ones learn discipline and sportsmen ship with practical applications!

Keep rolling little one!

I tried to get him to scowl, but he was too danged happy... It wasn't even a test class, Instructor just called him out and gave it to him. Believe me he has a war face, screw with him while he plays World of Tanks, you'll see it.

Yea most the BJJ guys don't do formal testing. At least not for kids anyway. Once we see applying the technique successfully and consistently during full spar or drill it's time you know it's time to up the expectations.

 At the adult level typically your exam is you paired up against another person of equal rank (at blue belt this is implemented)  and you spar till somebody taps out, no time limits. Winner gets the belt.

 Getting promoted in Jiu Jitsu is no easy task, you have to work for every stripe, so when you get a stripe or better yet full color change it's a great feeling! And of course congratulations to your son!

Congrats on having a motivated son! How old should your kids be when they start in on something like this? My daughter loves to "spar" with me and I want her to be able to defend herself. She is only three so I would guess around 8 or so?

 

Well done dad!

When they are mature enough to sit relatively still. listen and follow directions for at least 30 minutes.

I've seen several 4 yrs who do well in class, but 5-6 yrs is the average for the younger ones.

The kids are kids, they act like kids, but the instructors who deal with them are able to focus them, to incorporate play into the lessons, and for the kids that love to wrestle and rough house, this is perfect.
