Making Friends
Taking a Jiu Jitsu class in Dubai has a social benefit too. Meet new people with the same interests as you.
Increased Energy
Many of us feel that we lack energy. The lifestyle in Dubai tends to be sedentary. Jiu Jitsu training will, over time, increase your energy levels and provide you with more endurance and stamina.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Jiu Jitsu is based on movement. This required quick critical thinking and problem solving skills which will increase over time. It also helps with hand-eye coordination too making your reflexes and responses much quicker.
Humility and Patience
A martial art is not just about how hard you can hit and how fast you can be. It’s about patience and humilty too. If you get stressed and impatient with everyday situations practicing a martial art like Jiu Jitsu in Dubai will help you become a calmer, more patient person. This is why Jiu Jitsu training is so good for kids too – especially those who have a tendency to be a little hyperactive.
Having Fun!
Exercise for many men, women and children in Dubai can be boring. This is why Jiu Jitsu training can help. It is a fun sport to do and feels to many more than just exercise.
Learning Jiu Jitsu can take time but it is perfectly suitable for all ages and all fitness levels. You don’t need to be super fit or super flexible to enjoy the health and fitness benefits that martial arts training provides. Even I had to start somewhere and with time you’ll be amazed at how much you have learned and how your fitness levels have increased.
Jiu Jitsu training in Dubai is the ideal martial art for kids – both girls and boys.
Many kids in Dubai don’t like the thought of exercise and sometimes pulling them away from the TV or games console is a task in itself.
When kids view exercise as a fun activity their mind-set changes, they see exercise as fund and a game.
Jiu Jitsu traiing in the UAE for Kids has many benefits, these include:
Coordination & Body Awareness
These two aspects are important as kids grow. Sometimes kids can be seen as clumsy because their coordination and body awareness is lacking – this is a perfectly normal part of being a child.
However, training from an early age in martial arts helps to improve this.
Discipline & Focus
Whether you are a strict parent in Dubai or not all kids need some form of discipline. They also need to learn focus.
Jiu Jitsu training will help with both. The more kids are able to focus the better they tend to be at other tasks too including school work.
Confidence
Jiu Jitsu training gives kids confidence in themselves. Learning a new martial art tends to make children confident in themselves and around others too.
Socialisation
Many parents in Dubai feel that their kids don’t socialise enough. This is mainly due to the modern world we live in where there is so much entertainment at home.
However, good social skills are needed as kids grow. Joining a sports fitness program lilke a well designed Jiu Jitsu class in Dubai will help kids make friends and socialise more.
Fitness
One of the major problems parents face in Dubai is a lack of fitness for kids. Many children get no extra-curricular fitness at all.
However, getting kids to exercise more can be a hard task and many parents evetually give up.
Jiu Jitsu training for kids in the UAE provides many personal fitness benefits for children as they grow. It also teaches them the important of fitness from an early age.
Goal Setting & Completion
Goal setting and seeing things through are a critical part of a child’s growing experience. They do it in some form everday at school so why not on a personal fitness level too?
The goal in Jiu Jitsu is to become as good as you can be. Working towards your next Jiu Jitsu level is a goal which most children will enjoy.
Self Defence
Although the UAE is considered to be one of the safest societies in the world learning a self defence martial art is still a good idea.
It can prevent problems and also provides peace of mind that children can defend themselves if they needed to.
Make Friends
One of the great benefits of a Jiu Jitsu class in the UAE is the social element. If your kids struggle to make friends or are sometimes shy a martial arts class is the ideal way to bring them out of their shell, make new friends and become socially interactive.
Keep Your Kid Occupied With Something Positive
Most parents in the UAE have busy schedules and sometimes it can be difficult to plan parent/child time (quality time).
While martial arts training is not a replacement for family time it can help to provide kids with something positive on a weekly basis.
Team work
Being part of a team is character building for children and it will help with their future too. Jiu Jitsu helps create teamwork within the group.
Like any martial art, Jiu Jitsu takes time to learn. During the process though you will become fitter, stronger and more balanced through your daily life. I would suggest taking 3 sessions a week to start with.
