WILL YOUR CHILD BENEFIT FROM ZOO/JIU JITSU?
We at Yorkdale Martial Arts nurture their natural inquisitiveness and high energy by teaching them basic skills they need for school and life.
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things children need to learn to be successful.
Our specialized classes work with kids at their current developmental level. They have fun while learning and retaining skills and life lessons.
RESULTS AND GROWTH WITH EVERY CLASS!
Studying martial arts is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. It also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that lead to success beyond the dojo. Junior martial arts classes teach kids to control their movements and behaviour and they learn social skills at the same time.
STUDYING MARTIAL ARTS BUILDS PHYSICAL COORDINATION AND CONTROL
Our Jiu Jitsu classes teach young children the skills of martial arts. They find out quickly that each movement must be intentional and learn to control their movements to the best of their ability.
They also practice hand-eye coordination and learn about their bodies. This enhances children’s core muscles, and focus, and also helps with writing, math and physical activity in school.
JIU JITSU HELPS YOUNG MARTIAL ARTS STUDENTS LEARN TO FOCUS
Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. Our martial arts classes show kids the importance of focus by teaching them to apply skills to easily-achievable tasks.
The focus they learn in the Yorkdale Martial Arts dojo is something they’ll take home, into the classroom, and throughout their lives.
JIU JITSU CLASSES RELIEVE ANXIETY AND STRESS
Yorkdale Martial Arts Jiu Jitsu classes teach children the skills to manage stress and anxiety through exercise and persistence. Setting goals and showing children the steps towards achieving these goals, such as earning belts, sets them up for success through hard work and determination.
The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way.
JIU JITSU CLASSES HELP DEVELOP INTEGRITY, HONOUR AND EMPATHY
Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are.
Even though martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.
