Youth Non-Violent Self-Defense 9-13yrs Old

American Jiu Jitsu of Maplewood is excited to offer non-violent self-defense classes for the youth of our community. The goal of the Tween program is to instill unshakable confidence in our students so they can overcome and neutralize scenarios without resorting to kicking and punching. We will teach your child to use verbal assertiveness and non-violent techniques to deter bullies and stay safe if physically assaulted. Most martial art styles rely on striking the attacker with violent punches and kicks; at American Jiu Jitsu, we take a different approach. We teach techniques techniques that are purely defensive which utilize no strikes. Instead, we use leverage-based control holds to neutralize threats until help arrives. If you\'re interested in reinforcing positive values and outstanding character in your child, while instilling them with confidence, American Jiu Jitsu is the place for you! Your child will receive personalized instruction in a clean, safe, fun, and inspiring environment. Schedule: Saturdays 9:00-10:00am Thursdays 6:30-7:30pm
