One of the kids on my block who's a couple of years older has a history of bullying my nephew(4 years old) and making him cry. My nephew is kind of a push-over, so I put him in the kids BJJ class at my school 4 months ago. Today, I came home to see my nephew and the 6 year old neighbor "wrestling" on my front lawn. Seeing this, I asked what was going on to which I was told by the 6 year old, "we're playing wrestling." I was like, "Playing wrestling? Okay... Jonathan, use your Jiu Jitsu - single leg takedown.. take him down now." He took the kid down with a single leg and got to side control. He lets the kid up and the kid keeps pushing my nephew..so he goes for the single leg, grabs it and takes him down again, passes to side control and held him there until my father stopped both of them.


I'm so proud I just got off the phone with his instructor. Pretty amazing :)
 
Boo!!! your son sucks he didn't finish! just kidding props to your son!
 
He said nephew dude. And good job to your nephew. Most kids that age are uncoordinated as shit. lol. it's cool man. I would have stopped it after side control just to avoid the reverse bully factor.

Today even if you fight back to protect yourself from bullies you get in trouble or arrested even if you are a kid. Especially at school.
 
There was an interesting story recently posted here about the Gracies anti-bullying program.

Their motto was TTT. Talk to the bully and ask them to stop. Tell the teacher and ask them to help and finally: Take them down and hold them there if there's no-one to help.

What I liked was the idea of taking them down and using KOB to hold them there until they give up. KOB is a good way of not getting attacked by any bully sidekicks.

I'd LOVE to get this integrated into my own kids judo classes, since I know some kids come specifically with confidence/bullying issues.

IMHO bullies tend to leave kids who stand up for themselves alone.

Realistically, that is the best approach to bullying.
 
KOB? some bullies get disrespect nowadays and come with more force. not all but some.

What? no, you let them punch them in the face and then powerbomb them into concrete that gets you mad internet respect.
 
Cool! My kid used his BJJ to "get in with the cool group". Took him to a high school football game with a couple friends and there kids who were a couple years older and really wanted nothing to do with the little 5yr old. Well they are playing football in the back of the endzone and then it turns into a big wrestling match and my boy asks if he can please go in (they didn't let him play football cause he was "to little") and i said yeah if he wants, but no coming out crying if he gets banged up. Anyway he goes in and just starts tooling these older kids wrestling, blast doubles, judo hip tosses, side control to mount, pinning them down etc.

Needless to say he was instantly part of "the group" after that and they all went off to the concessions stand by themselves to get candy and my kid was right in the middle of the pack..... lol!!!!!

What school does your nephew go to? I would like to put my 5 year old in bjj. I've heard positive and negative things about Gracie Barra.

Can you recommend a place? I'm in Los Angeles sfv.


Thanks!

My nephew trains at Emerson Souza Jiu Jitsu in Long Island, NY... Unfortunately, I don't know of any places off the top of my head in LA -- but I do know some legit guys are there.. maybe someone else on the site trains around there and would be able to chime in and help you.

My nephew is actually the kid in the bottom pic giving the thumbs up. Children's & Teen's || Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

For the record, I don't condone meaningless violence... however, this kid has been spoken to and doesn't listen. He needed to be humbled and I'm sure he'll need to be humbled again. He's just one of those kids. There's a 90 percent chance he'll grow up into an asshole. I want my nephew to defend himself when need be. This kid was grabbing my nephew's shirt and trying to "wrestle" him. He provoked it.
 
Hi,

I think there is a growth market for the grappling anti bullying type of class. A lot of parents want their kids to defend themselves (hence taekwando) yet would prefer they don't "hurt" anyone. I always told my son that he never could fight loudmouths but that no one had a right to put their hands on him and we would see the principal together if the school had a problem with that. I also told him that he did not get to punch anyone, if it came down to it he was to wrestle them. He started wrestling at 5. Worked for us.

You should talk to this kids parents about getting into your nephew's school. BJJ will help teach him to not be a bully and give him self confidence.
 
what a feel good story. They should make a movie from this.
