Help! My kid is getting bullied in school. What can Jiu Jitsu do to help?

First and foremost, Jiu Jitsu is used as a form of self-defense. Second, Jiu Jitsu helps build confidence. We discourage any of our kids to go looking for fights. Instead, we teach them how to de-escalate a hostile situation, build up their confidence so that they may stand up to bullies and if needed, learn how to defend themselves if a bully were to get physical with them. Fortunately, we have been able to help many of the kids in our classes stop and prevent bullying through de-escalation tactics alone.
