Building Character Through Martial Arts: Our Jr. Program for Teens

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, our Martial Arts Academy believes in empowering our young students with not just martial arts skills but also essential life values. Our Junior Program for Teens is designed to provide a structured, supportive, and engaging environment where teens can thrive both on and off the mats.

Why Choose Our Jr. Program for Teens?

Our Jr. Program is tailored specifically for teenagers, focusing on age-appropriate techniques and drills. Here’s what sets our program apart:

  1. Comprehensive Curriculum: Our structured curriculum ensures that students progress through various belts by mastering key positions and movements. This builds a solid foundation in Jiu Jitsu while keeping students motivated and challenged.
  2. Experienced Instructors: Our team of dedicated and experienced instructors is committed to providing personalized attention to each student. They are not just skilled in Jiu Jitsu, but also in mentoring and guiding teens through their formative years.
  3. Character Development: Beyond physical training, we emphasize the development of core values such as respect, discipline, and integrity. Our mat chats and life skills discussions are integral to our approach, helping students grow into well-rounded individuals.

July Mat Chat Theme: Integrity

This July, our mat chat theme is “Integrity.” We define integrity as doing the right thing even when no one is watching. It’s about being honest with yourself and others, and standing up for what you believe in.

Why is Integrity Important in Martial Arts?

  • Trust and Respect: Integrity fosters trust and respect among peers and instructors. It creates a positive and supportive training environment where everyone feels valued and safe.
  • Personal Growth: Practicing integrity helps students develop a strong moral compass, which guides their decisions and actions both inside and outside the academy.
  • Achieving Goals: By consistently demonstrating integrity, students build a reputation for reliability and dependability, which can open doors to future opportunities in life and martial arts.

Incorporating Integrity in Training

During our mat chats this month, we’ll discuss various scenarios where integrity plays a crucial role. We encourage students to share their experiences and reflect on how they can practice integrity in their daily lives.

Phrases for Teens to Remember:

  • “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.”
  • “Always be honest with yourself and others.”
  • “Stand up for what you believe in, even if it’s difficult.”
