CHILDREN'S JIU-JITSU
Each of ZenQuest’s children’s programs provide a balance of learning and activities to keep training interesting and FUN! Since every student has their own interest and goals, they may choose to focus on only one art...or be more diverse to build a rounded package of skills. Our classes feature “age-appropriate” instruction, in an environment of mutual support and respect. Our experienced instructors use proven methods to help young students learn important life skills like focus, discipline, respect, responsibility, confidence, perseverance, honor, leadership, and having a positive attitude. Each art provides effective self-defense skills AND an exciting fitness program. Students typically improve flexibility, strength, coordination, and cardio capacity. An early appreciation for fitness can lay the groundwork for a long and healthy life!
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a “grappling” art considered one of the most effective self-defense systems in the world! It emphasizes the use of technique and strategy to overcome an opponent…allowing a smaller person to overcome bigger and stronger attackers. Classes include Jiu-jitsu basics, strength and conditioning, and partner work on technique and strategy. BJJ consists of escapes, throws, sweeps, positioning, restraints and submissions.
Children learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu on an “age-appropriate” basis at ZenQuest. The newest students focus almost exclusively on positioning and self-defense aspects of the art, while more experienced students incorporate more submissions and counters. Emphasis is placed on safety first, and a mutual respect and support environment. ZenQuest is an affiliate of the Demian Maia Jiu-jitsu Association, and all instructors and rankings are certified by that group.
ZenQuest also hosts several special events for it youngest students such as an annual Children's Tournament, the Berkshire Martial Arts Summer Camp, and seminars with leading Instructors in the world!
