Youth Martial Arts

Overview

Between social media, peer pressure, and the demands of school, kids today have a lot of distractions. Martial Arts is the perfect activity for your child, providing benefits that go far beyond the dojo. The martial arts help 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. Enroll today and help your child reach their fullest potential!

Serves as an Escape

The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry found that a huge fraction of kids’ days are spent glued to a cell phone, tablet, computer, or television screen. They reveal, “On average, children ages 8-12 in the United States spend 4-6 hours a day watching or using screens, and teens spend up to 9 hours.”

Don’t let your child waste their childhood – move them away from the TV and into the dojo. In a world where kids are constantly connected and easily influenced by the content they see online, Cephas BJJ aims to serve as an escape from the noise. We believe that martial arts help students regain their focus, find relief from academic and social pressures, set goals for themselves, and experience a level of accomplishment and fulfillment that can’t be found virtually.

Discipline and Respect

We know what you’re probably thinking – “If my goal is to reduce my child’s screen time, why not just enroll them in any other sport?”

Great question! Unlike all other athletic activities, the martial arts focus on teaching life lessons just as much as they focus on teaching physical skills. Martial Arts have been around for thousands of years. Historically, this discipline didn’t just focus on the physical. It focused on the mental and emotional as well. Martial arts requires students to demonstrate discipline and respect both in and out of the dojo. This means paying attention in class, referring to your instructors with the correct terminology, practicing at home, and respecting your parents and elders. At Cephas BJJ, we aren’t just creating amazing martial artists, we’re creating amazing people.

Instills Confidence

With the overwhelming presence of social and mass media, it’s harder than ever for young people to achieve confidence. That’s why Cephas BJJ is so passionate about cultivating the self-esteem of each and every one of our students. The martial arts provide children with impressive new skills, an outlet for self-expression, increased physical fitness, and self-defense training. Cephas BJJ has used our martial arts instruction to change the lives of thousands of students, and we want your child to be next.
