It’s common for many parents to face a challenging moment during their child’s Jiu Jitsu journey:
The moment when the child says, “I want to quit.”
At first, it may seem like just a phase, but it’s important to reflect before making any decisions.
Why Do Kids Want to Quit Jiu Jitsu?
There are many reasons:
👉 Lack of motivation
👉 Frustration after a tough class
👉 Fear of competitions
👉 Difficulty making friends
👉 The natural desire to avoid challenges
It’s part of childhood to go through phases of discouragement. But Jiu Jitsu is much more than just a sport.
The True Value of Jiu Jitsu
Jiu Jitsu teaches resilience, discipline, respect, emotional control, and self-confidence. Every training session is an opportunity for your child to grow mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Many times, children want to quit right when they’re about to overcome a challenge and have a big personal breakthrough.
The Role of Parents
This is where parental support becomes essential.
✅ Talk openly with your child
✅ Understand if it’s just a temporary phase
✅ Discuss with the instructors
✅ Remember the long-term benefits Jiu Jitsu offers
Giving up at the first sign of difficulty may send the wrong message: that giving up when things get hard is okay. And we know that life will constantly test our resilience.
