Kobukai Kids

Since 1993, the Kobukai Dojo has offered Self Defense training to
Connecticut. The mission of the Kobukai Dojo is to ensure that all of its
students, whether adult or child, will develop heightened awareness, learn
how to avoid violent confrontations, know how and when to escape, and
learn to efficiently and effectively defend themselves if escape is impossible.

BENEFITS OF JUJITSU
Jujitsu for Kids emphasizes a positive and fun atmosphere where children will develop
respect for Instructors, Teachers, Parents, and other authority figures. They will learn
the benefits of being active, exercising, and eating right. They will also learn how to
maintain a positive attitude in the face of adversity. Most of all your child will learn to
work hard, focus on the task at hand, and be confident in their ability to succeed.

The foundation of Jujitsu is self-defense. We are very careful to teach adults and
children that Jujitsu is not to be used outside class other than in true self-defense. The
result is a self-confident individual, who does not need to bully or show-off to others.
We also keep a sense of reality when training children. Even with training, a child can be
overpowered or tricked by a normal sized adult with bad intentions. We teach how to
recognize bad situations, speak and act with confidence, not look like an easy
target, and how to escape if the need arises. Awareness and Safety are the first things
your child will learn at the Kobukai Dojo.

Jujitsu is a self-paced activity whereby your child will work with fellow students and the
Dojo Staff Members in a supportive environment. Our instructors are here to teach your
children, motivate them, and make them the best they can be, both mentally and
physically. We do not promote children under the age of 16 to Blackbelt, as it sends the
wrong message - that a child can defend themselves against any adult - which simply is
not true. But they can be aware, avoid bad situations, and escape if necessary. As for
the bully on the playground...well with the right amount of training, that will no longer be
a problem!

Make your child a KOBUKAI KID!
