grappling makes strong kids
Submission grappling can be a fun, high-intensity after-school sport or active hobby for kids ages 3+.
Not only that, research shows that exercises that require the use of high strength - such as grappling - have the greatest osteogenic effects in adolescents (promoting the development of bone-forming cells).
Coach JACK GOODWIN-BAINBRIDGE (1st degree BJJ black belt and experienced grappling educator) has been teaching grappling skills to children over the age of 3 since 2013, and considers it his calling.
Jack views grappling as an effective tool for healthy personal development. He's passionate about helping young people reap the various benefits of grappling as a sport, including confidence, resilience, self-control, discipline, work ethic, and problem-solving—as well as self-defense skills.
