Bullying has become more prevalent than ever in middle schools and high schools, making kids feel anxious, isolated, and depressed. In many of these cases, concerned parents turn to “babying” their kids to make them feel better.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is built on the principles of patience, control, and respect. It’s the sport that might even have been developed with bullying in mind. As Jiu Jitsu grandmaster Helio Gracie famously noted, Jiu Jitsu “is for the protection of the individual: the older man, the weak, the child, the lady, and the young woman — anyone who doesn’t have the physical attributes to defend themselves.”
This seems particularly relevant in a recent case of a bullied teen that had training but would not just blatantly use it – here’s the straw that broke the camel’s back.
