The program caters to children ages 5 to 12 and has been such a huge success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The 50 children train at Trench Tech Gym every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. The cost for the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids program is $40 a month and the Trench Tech Gym rents and sell Gis (kimonos) for them to wear for training. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBJJ is a great way to help teach your child, discipline, self-esteem, respect, good health habits, and self-defense. Feel free to bring your child over for a free trial anytime,\u201d said Alvarez. <\/p>\n<p>Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a self-defense system, martial art, and combat sport system that focuses on grappling with particular emphasis on ground fighting. <\/p>\n<p>It was developed from Kodokan judo ground fighting (newaza) fundamentals that were taught by a number of Japanese individuals including Takeo Yano, Mitsuyo Maeda, Soshihiro Satake, and Isao Okano. Brazilian jiu-jitsu eventually came to be its own defined combat sport through the innovations, practices, and adaptation of judo.<\/p>\n<p>Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend himself against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage to take the fight to the ground, and then applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. <\/p>\n<p>Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self-defense situations. Sparring (commonly referred to as \u201crolling\u201d within the BJJ community) and live drilling play a major role in training and the practitioner\u2019s development. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is considered a martial art, a sport, a method for promoting physical fitness and building character, and a way of life<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Trench Tech Gym\u2019s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Kids program, call Trench Tech at 670-783-4662 or visit their website at www.trenchtech.tv for more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trench Tech Gym is not only for menacing mixed martial artists as it is also&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":308649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-317051","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/308649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
