BJJ Competition Kids: A Manual For Parents

Every sport for kids has some form of organized competition. Most parents are quite familiar with the details and nature of such competitions for mainstream team sports, such as football, baseball and soccer. For individual competitive sports associated with martial arts, and especially Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ), the details and nature of the competition are less familiar if not arcane. In this manual, Professor Vieira explains what BJJ parents need to know and consider for their kids to get the most out of BJJ competitions. Professor Vieira sets forth his time-tested and successful competition philosophy and offers many pointers for parents. These include: How parents and their child need to approach tournament training, which tournaments to attend and why, what losing a match really means, and how to handle the myriad challenging situations that inevitably arise when kids compete in a combative one-on-one sport.
