The Origins Of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

By Richardo Manning


Inactivity among children across the nation, including in Provo, UT, continues to be a major problem. Since the 1970's, inactivity among Americans and their children has steadily increased in scope and size-literally, according to rising obesity rates.

The more kids you have, the less alone time you get. Here are 4 ideas on how to get the kids out of your hair so you can have some alone time.

Fighting techniques can be said to have been influenced by any number of people or styles. The absolute origin seems to be lost in the obscuring fog of time.

Football, soccer, basketball, baseball and the like all of their little city league versions you can ship them off to once or twice a week. On top of getting them out of the house, you're giving them a social community to bond to, a hobby to work towards, and exercise galore.

Jiu-jitsu is a sport designed to allow anyone to have the advantage in a fight. Whether you are large and tall, or short and small, if you know the art, you can fend off even the largest opponents.

By promoting activity among children during the critical years of eight years old to twelve years, a parent can give their child a greater chance at avoiding the negative effects of inactive lifestyle.

Second, sign them up for city recreational organizations. Find community organizations like children's' choirs, camps, and scouts and sign them up.

But promoting activity can be a challenge for parents who are competing with the high and addicting entertainment value of video games and portable electronics.

Why punch through a metal breast plate when you can twist their arm and pin them to the ground as you apply immense pressure on the sensitive joints? The art uses pins, joint locks, and throws to win a fight. It's characterized by a lot of standing moves and very appropriately disarms and disables an opponent.

Very specific techniques have been developed to do just that and they are taught and retaught throughout the generations. The art form prevailed though and soon other forms of it appeared around the world.

These lessons mandate 30 minutes out of the house and practice time every day. See if you can't get them involved with music lessons every week.

But even video games and television can be suitable for a child who likewise enjoys other physical or mental activities. Finding a balance, as with most things, can here be applied and utilized by parents striving to promote activity in their children.

Where the traditional form was a standing fighting style, Brazilian allows you to take people to the ground to win a fight. In a real life situation, you would have to be able to defend/attack from any position.

Many times the local community will have many different resources and programs that a parent can sign up their child for that will allow them to experience different physical and mental activities and hobbies

When you read together, you can help them learn to like to do it by themselves. Once they take the habit as their own, they'll stick their own noses in a book for hours on end.

If organized physical sports and activities are not considered to be the best options for a child, there are other resources that a parent can consider to promote activity in their child.

Since its development, it has travelled to America. You can even find Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in Provo.

Every martial art is built to focus the body and defend. Instilling those values with proper training will help your kids become more respectful and helpful people.
