7 Ways Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Helps Kids Deal with Bullying

Unfortunately bullying is a big problem in society today.  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can combat this issue by helping kids stand up to bullies, and settle things before the situation gets too out of hand.

Here are 7 ways BJJ Helps:

Self-Confidence Wards off Cowards

Bullies are cowards and they like to pick on people with low self-confidence.  If a kid does not lack confidence they will be able to fend off a bully right from the get go.  If their confidence doesn’t do the trick to ward of the bully, once the child tells them they know how to defend themselves the bully will usually back off.

A Cure to Fear and Insecurity

There are two major ingredients to bullying and they are, fear and insecurity.  The fear usually comes from the victim and the insecurity generally derives from the bully.  BJJ will help kids dealing with fear to be more confident in their abilities to defend themselves, so they can deal with this fear.  It will also help the bully dealing with insecurity to become more confident, respectful, and polite.

Respect for Differences

BJJ creates an equal playing field for everyone because no matter how different we may be we all have the same shortcomings and potentials.  It all depends on how much work you put into neutralizing one while elevating the other.

Friendship

Bullies go after kids that don’t fit into the group well because they feel different and have trouble relating with the other kids.  BJJ will give every child who participates a common interest making it easier to make friends and feel apart of the group.

Balances Self-Esteem

There’s a balance of self esteem one should have and if they have too little it can lead to an isolated, fearful, and unhappy life.  However, if they have too much it can turn them into a cocky, obnoxious person no one wants to be around.  BJJ is a quick mediator to this balance.  Everyone wins and looses on the mats so this teaches them that it’s your actions that prove your value, not what others think of you.

Helps the Parents

Nothing can replace a good upbringing by a kids parents, but BJJ can definitely complement it.  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches important core values such as hard work, respect, and also how to deal with wins and losses, pleasure and pain, reward and punishment.

Stress Release

Everyone, even kids, have to deal with stress and discomfort sometimes in their daily life.  BJJ will teach them how to deal with these moments in the correct way and stay calm.
