In addition to the physiological benefits we have seen, in the dojo (gym) increases self-esteem, the resorption of the disorder of behavior at home and school, the development of motor and cognitive skills, the reduction of too much energy not to mention the concepts of self-defense that they acquire and that they can use when necessary for life.
In all these years, I’ve never turned out a bully from my training, but I have noticed that bullies tend to lay low when my students are present in any setting. (School activities, playground, study hall etc)

Jiu-jitsu classes focus on effective self-defense, police, and combat technique both ground technique and standing technique. Much of what is taught in the jiu-jitsu class is illegal in competition judo. Judo does not allow wrist locks, leg locks, back locks, pressure points, nor striking and kicking.
JIU-JITSU: A COMPLETE SYSTEM OF SELF-DEFENSE
Jiujitsu is a Japanese method of weaponless self-defense. It’s purpose is to discourage an assailant from attacking the practitioner, but if attacked, to reply in such a manner as to discourage further action. The techniques are as well suited to police work as they are to the young lady concerned about date rape. The practice of the techniques will benefit children and adults in coordination, strength, agility, flexibility, and endurance, as well as confidence in a confrontation. The application of jiujitsu has many practical advantages among which are it’s instant availability and it’s ability to vary the intensity of the response upon the assailant. Jiujitsu techniques involve striking with the natural striking surfaces (hands, feet, ect), throwing, joint locking, pressure points, and various other tactics.
