Jiu-Jitsu Calgary / Edmonton

We like to let people know that regular Martial Arts classes designed specifically for Self Defense exists. Our system at www.Jiu-Jitsu-calgary.com is one of the very few Martial arts available that is specifically designed for modern Self Defense, we also have associated schools in Edmonton. If you are interested, let me know and I will ensure you receive any information you require.

Many more people would be more for themselves and or their children if they realised that such a service existed. It suits those people who are looking for a more regular structured program and want to train 2-3 times per week.

Kids Classes -

Your teenage or older children are welcome to accompany you on our Self Defense Courses, however, the information taught to children is very different for obvious reasons, therefore, we recommend that you get them involved in a regular program.

Martial Arts programs do not necessarily teach Self Defense or Safety Awareness so if that is what you are hoping for, talk to the Instructor to ensure that a good percentage of the program is dedicated to it.

There are many additional benefits to learning such skills from building confidence, encourage discipline, self discipline, respect as well as increasing safety awareness. Many parents report that their children become much better focused in all they do.

Young kids require a more structured learning environment with positive reinforcement and lots of fun. Click here for more information on Martial arts for Kids ==>Kids Self Defense Classes<== Although you will not be attending our clubs classes, we have associated schools in Edmonton with very similar goals.

Many parents enroll their children in Martial arts programs to help prevent or stop bullying. If bullying in particular is an issue for you or someone you know, we came across an excellent guide to parents and victims of Bullying.

Self Defense for Kids in Calgary

We often get asked if children can attend the courses that we run for adults.

The trouble is that young children need to be taught different information then that taught to an adult so it is not really feasible to combine the two. For this reason we have connected with Jiu-Jitsu Calgary who teach Self Defense for Kids in Calgary specifically. This organisation teaches a form of Jiu Jitsu that has been specifically for Self Defense.

Older Children, from about teenagers and upwards are certainly welcome to accompany parents or other family members to the courses for adults.

Jiu Jitsu Calgary run a little Samurai Program that combines their system of Martial arts with Safety Awareness. It is a great program, teaching children some really important safety information whilst creating a firm interest in Martial arts through fun learning

For parents who want their teenage children in a regular program and not a one-off courses, the same organisation mentioned above runs an excellent Junior program.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

Scheduled Free Self Defense Courses

Throughout the duration of our last season, we taught free self defense courses to over 1000 people.

One of the problems that came to light was that it was hard for interested people to commit themselves as our courses were organised at rather short notice at times.

Realising that people require more time to organise their own schedules and organising their own time, it was decided to organise many more dates right up front and let people know what is going to be available for the coming year.

Our new season starts in September, by then we will have all dates for the coming year organised.

We hold many free courses, we also hold courses for groups and even go into Companies to hold Self Defense Courses for their staff.

Many people ask about bringing children to courses, however, the type of information that children need to learn differs from the information that adults require. The physical techniques that young children need to know also differ from the physical techniques that we teach to adults.

Teenagers and above are a different matter as physical size is very similar to that of adults, therefor teenagers and above are welcome to accompany other family members who attend.

If you have any doubts then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Self Defense for Kids

We teach Self Defense for Kids here in Calgary. Classes are divided into 5 to 8 year olds and 9 to 11 years olds. From 12 and up, children can start training in Adult classes.

For the young children, although there is an active and fun aspect, teaching basic skills, classes are aimed much more in the direction of safety and awareness, strangers, what to do when lost, how to escape if necessary and generally making children aware of some of the possible dangers without scaring them.

As they move from the Self Defense for kids into the Junior classes (9+), there are more technical skills to learn and at the same time teaching respect and discipline.

Children start to learn some of the benefits of health and fitness, whilst maintaining a real fun atmosphere. Fun is an essential aspect of learning, it is also essential to ensure they continue to maintain an interest.

There is so much more to Self Defense for Kids than simply teaching Martial arts.

At the moment we are based in SW Calgary but as we continue to grow, we will have many more options available.If you are interested in Self Defense for Kids or just in finding out more then do not hesitate to Contact Us.
