Pedigo Kids
Jiu Jitsu (JJ) isn’t just for adults. In fact, it’s the perfect activity for kids! This form of martial arts is based on automatic human responses and incorporates a lot of ground grappling. When it comes to self defense, Jiu Jitsu empowers a smaller individual to fight against a larger opponent. But the advantages don’t stop there – Jiu Jitsu helps kids gain confidence, learn discipline, focus their energy, foster respect for others, and be a part of a one-of-a-kind community full of future friends and mentors!

Instills Focus
A huge part of what makes JJ so great is that it doesn’t just strengthen the body, it strengthens the mind as well. Many parents worry that Jiu Jitsu won’t be the right fit for their child because he or she has a lot of energy. But this couldn’t be further from the truth! At PSF Space Coast, we want our students to be energetic and excited when they come to class – our goal is simply to focus that energy. After a long day sitting at a desk, kids need a place to let loose. Our JJ curriculum aims to take all that pent up energy and direct it into throws, takedowns, grappling techniques, and a wide array of learning activities. All of this is accomplished while still keeping it fun for the kids.
Promotes Respect
The martial arts provide an advantage that no other sport can boast – the value of respect. In fact, respect for both oneself and others is embedded into everything martial arts does. At PSF Space Coast, students bow to their instructor at the beginning and ending of class, receive constructive feedback with a positive attitude, always try their hardest, and encourage their classmates and training partners.
Improves Self-Confidence
We get it, being a kid isn’t always easy! Between homework, trying to make friends, and school bullies, there’s a lot to deal with. At PSF Space Coast, we want to be a place of escape from all of those struggles. While the rest of the world may take a toll on your child’s confidence, we’re here to build it up. After watching hundreds of young martial artists go through our program, we have no doubt that practicing JJ improves students’ confidence in a way that no other activity can. JJ pushes students out of their comfort zones – helping them acquire new skills, teaching them how to defend themselves and avoid conflict, and providing them with much-needed support and guidance. Students enter our Kids JJ program as shy and insecure children, and leave as outgoing and self-assured martial artists.
