KIDS MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
The Elite Training Center Kids Martial Arts Program can and WILL help your child increase their confidence, self-esteem, discipline, while teaching them life skills that will last them a lifetime! In our program you child will be able to progress at their very own pace. We understand that everyone learns differently. Whether your child can only train once a week or everyday we have the program that will fit your needs.
Our children’s Mixed Martial Arts curriculum combines wrestling, striking, and the positional control of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We don’t teach submissions (joint locks and chokes) until the higher levels when the children have demonstrated the ability and knowledge of when and where it is appropriate to execute those kinds of techniques (self-defense or competition against a knowledgeable opponent).
We also combine fitness and agility exercises to help build a healthy lifestyle and physical attributes. We utilize games and drills that are fun so that half the time the kids don’t even realize they are learning self-defense and discipline.
Safety is our highest priority, and all of our activities have rigorous safety protocols built in. Our next highest priority is building realistic and useable physical and life skills. Our third priority is having a fun, constructive training curriculum.
The BULLY Factor:
Everyday, approximately 150,000 kids miss school due to fear or intimidation of bullies. Unfortunately, this is happening to children as young as kindergarten age. Not only can bullying lead to low confidence and self-esteem issues, but it also causes children to dislike school at one of the most impressionable times in their lives. Can you imagine how it would feel to go to work every single day and be afraid for your own safety and well being? Many kids have that same feeling while going to school every day. How can we expect children to focus well on their academics when they are under such stress? While parents may expect the teachers to intervene, the increasing statistics in bullying over the years is a clear sign that school administration is not or cannot resolve the problem.
You can absolutely do something to stop or prevent this from happening to your child. Give your child the ability to stand up for him or herself. Bullies prey on those who they perceive as weak. Training martial arts can give your child the real confidence to hold their head up high and not act like someone who is an easy target. In a vast majority of situations, that aura of confidence alone will cause bullies to stay away.
