I want to take a second and give praise to our Jr. Coaches here at Supremacy Jiu Jitsu. They have been an excellent addition and a big help to the adult coaches that run the kids’ classes. They fill the role of a near-peer mentor, someone close to the age of the students that can […]
I see many kids that come into the gym for the first time and not want to leave their parent’s side when it’s time for their class. That’s 100% okay! It takes a shy kid some time to warm up to new people and a new environment. The first tip I have in helping your […]
Kids love to play and have fun, but when it’s time to put in work in something they are doing they have trouble finding the motivation. I want to help parents inspire and motivate their kids with a couple stimulating strategies that will get them up and moving. First, keep an eye on what your […]

We usually talk about Jiu Jitsu here on this Jiu Jitsu blog, but I want to talk about something that affects a multitude of women and men every year. Breast cancer awareness month encourages early detection and celebrates those affected by breast cancer. There have been many deaths due to breast cancer, but in recent […]
I’ve been bullied when I was younger because being the fat kid always got a laugh out of bullies. When this was going on, I never thought to come up with a game plan to deal with bullies. Kids today, from my perspective have it way worse than when I was in school. Talking to […]
