The Best Activity for Kids: Jiu Jitsu!

Parents want their kids to be confident, disciplined, and active—and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the best activities to help them develop these traits. Unlike traditional sports, Jiu Jitsu teaches kids real-life skills, such as self-defense, problem-solving, and resilience, while keeping them engaged and excited to learn.

At Potential Jiu Jitsu in Spring Valley, Las Vegas, our Kids’ Jiu Jitsu program is designed to help children grow physically, mentally, and socially. Here’s why parents are choosing Jiu Jitsu over other sports.

1. Teaches Discipline & Respect

Jiu Jitsu instills discipline, structure, and respect—all while making learning fun.

✔️ Kids learn to follow instructions and stay focused.

✔️ They develop patience, problem-solving skills, and perseverance.

✔️ They learn to respect coaches, training partners, and themselves.

Unlike traditional sports that focus solely on winning, Jiu Jitsu emphasizes personal growth and lifelong learning.

2. Builds Confidence & Bully Prevention Skills

Jiu Jitsu empowers kids with real self-defense techniques that help them handle bullying situations confidently.

✔️ Teaches non-violent conflict resolution skills.

✔️ Gives kids the confidence to stand up for themselves.

✔️ Provides real-world self-defense techniques to neutralize threats safely.

Jiu Jitsu teaches kids how to stay calm under pressure—a skill that carries over into school, friendships, and life.

3. Keeps Kids Active & Off Screens

In today’s digital world, getting kids to be active can be a challenge. Jiu Jitsu provides a fun and engaging alternative to screen time.

✔️ Burns energy in a structured, positive environment.

✔️ Improves coordination, strength, and flexibility.

✔️ Keeps kids engaged with new challenges and skills to learn.

Instead of sitting on the couch, your child will be learning, moving, and building healthy habits for life.

4. Safe & Structured Learning Environment

Many parents worry about their child’s safety in contact sports. Jiu Jitsu is one of the safest martial arts because there’s no striking—only technique, positioning, and control.

✔️ No punches or kicks—just grappling and positioning.

✔️ Focuses on technique and control rather than aggression.

✔️ Kids learn at their own pace in a positive environment.

At Potential Jiu Jitsu in Las Vegas, our instructors prioritize safety, learning, and fun to make sure kids thrive on the mats.
