Is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Good For Kids?
We’ve always believed that professional martial arts training, especially Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training, is a great cure to the bully epidemic that we’ve seen flaring up in recent years especially as it instills so much discipline and allows kids to relieve their aggressive tendencies and energy. And lots of parents are finally jumping on the bandwagon and enrolling their children in BJJ and other forms of MMA training.

However, we all know that parents are concerned about the effects of this training on their kids. Some parents are even worried that their kids might turn into full-blown bullies, once they have a bit of BJJ experience under their belts.
We ran a poll (survey) at our Facebook Fan Page and asked...

Approximately how often do you train Jiu Jitsu? As of 22 July 2012, here are the results:

- 62% of subscribers train once per day
- 23% of subscribers train once a week
- 6% of subscribers train less than once per week
- 9% of subscribers are fans and don't train
