04 May Choosing Activities For Kids
A great way to start is you pick one and let your child pick one. The 2 main categories are activities that are fun or activates for survival. Swimming is a survival skill because at some point in their life they will be exposed to water. Not having the ability to swim or confidence to be around the water in a boat could hold them back from trying new exciting things or become fatal if they fell into water alone.
Martial arts classes is a great sport with all the benefits of traditional sports, but also will teach you self defense which is an essential life skill. Kids and Adults will certainly face some sort of physical contact that is unavoidable and not at their fault. The day your child has issues with bullying and they don’t have the proper tools and confidence to protect themselves, they will not stand up for themselves.
In my opinion if your child and yourself choose martial arts you will get Fun, Life skills, Respect, Discipline, Social skills and Build life long habits they will stick to even when the motivation is not there. As a child I started in martial arts (my choice) and it was the best decision I have made and still practice to this day.
My back ground is Karate, Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as It is one of the strongest martial arts. I also combine wrestling and judo throw as who ever can control the fight on their feet can choose when to throw them to the ground and stay in the top position. I am big on always walking away with your head held high but sometimes that is not an option.
If you are in the Toronto Leaside area, I invite you in to try a free week at our brazilian jiu jitsu club. The classes are fun and planned out months in advance and you can see first hand why the classes are highly recommend from our parents who currently have their kids in our jiu jitsu program.

If your kids choose Fun like Hockey, baseball, soccer etc…Remember…..let them have fun and do not become that parent who pushes their child to be the next super star. That is the best way to suck the fun and life out of your child and ensure that quit at some point. If they kid wants to pursue it and go hard…encourage them and help support their dream.
