Did you know that Martial Arts Training is 10 times better than Team Sports for developing a child's self-esteem and self-confidence? Here at Soulcraft BJJ Woodbury we teach the skills that will last a lifetime! This 6 week program will teach your child fundamentals of self-defense, team work, improved self-confidence and introduce them to the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as popularized by the Gracie Family of Brazil.
We've designed our program to teach the core values of jiu jitsu as a lifestyle-striving to create a fun and practical approach to not only prepare children to defend themselves so they don't have to; but as a way to teach respect, self-confidence, teamwork and valuable listening skills they can carry into the classroom and beyond.
Wear comfortable gym clothing and bring a water bottle.
