Another serious issue our kids face today that must be addressed is bullying. We all know that Jiu Jitsu is a gentle form of martial arts, however, do not let the word “gentle” fool you. A bully sees people that have little to no self confidence as prey, a jiu jitsu athlete has and exudes the self confidence bullies tend to steer away from. Most of the time a jiu jitsu student can neutralize a bully simply with his or her words during the first encounter. A bully is a coward, and at MJN Jiu Jitsu your teens will gain the courage and self esteem that bullies are most afraid of. MJN Jiu Jitsu is a bully free and ego free zone!

Attaining balance in life isn’t easy for teens or adults, however, Jiu Jitsu is a definite tool to help achieve a healthy balance. Teens are drawn to join gangs and cliques because they struggle with fitting in and yearn to be a part of something. Our students will a part of a family, not a gang or clique.
