Maybe we should put our kids in BJJ.
This study looked at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's effect on young people. The results are incredible.
Kids did jiu jitsu 1-3x per week, 45 minutes on average, and they increased their self control by double digits compared to their peers.
They showed more inhibitory control - aka, less easily distracted, more focus.
Other studies say the same thing:
One looked at MMA vs BJJ, and the kids who did BJJ had:
• Increased self-control
• Increased pro-social behavior
• Decreased levels of aggression
Another study looked specifically at boys with autism. It found that the social + motor control aspects of martial arts have a huge effect:
The group who did martial arts had a 12.79 LOWER score on problem behaviors than the control group.
In a world that’s constantly trying to distract us, BJJ makes you disciplined.
In a world where kids are increasingly isolated, BJJ puts them together & challenges them physically and mentally.
What do you think? Would you put your kids in martial arts?
