“For the past three years my daughters’ have been practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at their school Richmond College Prep. I strongly believe that the BJJ program at RCP is a perfect mixture of physical education and character development. The following are the traits my girls have developed through the practice of jiu-jitsu: self-defense, self-confidence, concentration, flexibility, strength, and general physical conditioning.
Also, the BJJ program at RCP asks the students to consider their jiu-jitsu goals for the upcoming school year. Setting goals as a practice, has given my daughters’ a sense of purpose, drive, and self-discipline.
Every elementary school should include BJJ as part of their physical education program.”
