Jolly Green Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I did BJJ for a few months and it was interesting, great exercise, etc. but I need my body to work and one of those little spider monkey guys made a tendon in my elbow go "pop" loudly enough that the whole rest of the class stopped. It was fun while it lasted, and it was a kid-friendly gym, great way to wear out your rugrats. It kind of cracked me up when the instructor would start in on the self-defense angle; while I have no doubt that some aspects of BJJ have practical self-defense applications, I also think that if I ever find myself in someone's guard during a life-or-death struggle, I'm probably going to skip the attempts to pass his guard and just reach for the back of his skull with my thumbs through his eye sockets. Too much art, not enough martial, IMO. Quote
Super User MCS Posted February 10, 2014 Super User Posted February 10, 2014 How young can you start someone? I have a seriously active 3 1/2 year old who is very physical and is learning to manage it but I would like to get him in something that he can still be physical without getting written up in school My sons place has mat rat classes for that age and they start actual BJJ at 5 he has been doing it for almost a year and a half now. It is great all around exercise and teaches a lot that is missed in today's society (especially in schools and amongst peers)....respect, team work, winners and losers, self control. And IMO I prefer BJJ because of the sheer physicality of it. The kids are grappling and wrestling around on each other versus standing and kicking at the air. It is something young kids can get into. Checkout some of the BJJ comp videos of the Pan American Championship. The matches are intense, even a roll between 7 yr olds can be a sight. Quote
