This class is for students from 13 years of age through 17 years of age.
In this class there is a strong focus on self-defense and a physical workout. A great deal of focus is still placed on threat awareness, prevention of trouble, self-confidence/self-esteem, respect, discipline, and other virtues learned and developed through the benefits found only in these ancient arts. These are the qualities that give this age group the self-defense ability to say NO when trouble comes their way. They are taught to spot trouble early, to avoid it and to deal with it effectively when faced with it. As with all of our classes, the training in this class teaches that dedication and persistence result in the achievement of success in school, at home, and some day, in their careers
All ages benefits from the development of self-confidence and good self-esteem. It is a widely accepted belief that confident people are less likely to be the target of an attack. Such a development combined with physical skills developed under our training help prepare the individual in a way that no other sport can do.
The training in the sport of Judo will expose the student to competition that will teach how to deal with the concept and emotions of winning and losing, individually and as a member of a team. Ju Jitsu is one of the most ancient and comprehensive system of self-defense, therefore, we are sure our students will not lose interest due to limited activity. Furthermore, it will teach them a very effective system of self-defense.
All training sessions begin with group warm-ups and conditioning exercises to improve performance and enhance safety.
During the year we hold tournaments, seminars, social events outside the school, and parents are welcome to meet with the instructors at any time. All this in the interest of creating an educational structure to our school that goes beyond the usual scope of business and profits. At PJJA we recognize that helping a teenager develop properly in today’s world takes more than ever before.
We are confident you will find our academy capable of providing an affordable & safe environment suited to your needs and we look forward to having you as our student for many years to come.
