The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Fundemental Course at Dauntless takes kids through an amazing curriculum of Stand Up, Mount, Guard, Cross Body & Back.
In The Stand Up they learn how to counter punches & kicks to enter in and clinch their opponent to then throw or take them down in a controlled position.
In the Mount Top they learn how to ride their opponents energy, control them with technique and submit them with a variety of chokes, armlocks & other submissions. On the Mount Bottom they learn how to protect themselves to not get hit or submitted, then how to frame the hip and execute a varity of escapes that each work off a different energy that their opponent could present.
The Guard Bottom & Top are cucial for good BJJ. On the Guard Bottom they learn how to protect, control capitalize to submit, sweep, take the back or come out. On Guard Top they learn how to control the hips, open the legs, control the legs & hips and move properly to escape.
The Cross Body is where it’s at for domination and if you are on the bottom requires immediate escape. For the Cross Body Top students learn how to ride and control to submit or mount. Then on Cross Body bottom they learn how to protect, frame and escape.
The Back Offense & Defense finish out the Fundemental Course. The Back Offense they learn how to ride and control to maintain and submit. On Back Defense they learn how to take away their opponents control and escape.
Each of these 5 Postions in BJJ require time and dilligence to gain the ability. At Dauntless we have been teaching children BJJ for over 17 years and not only do we have a uniquely in depth curriculum but we also have special Training Methodologies that allow the child to master this material faster as they develop tremendous Confidence, Self respect, Discipline, Focus & Resolve.
After Children complete the Fundemental Course they are invited to join the Intermediate BJJ Course. For the last 17 years now we have been seeing kids complete the Basic Course and move into this Next Level. Kids in this course really excel as they develop new skills, compete in tournaments and begin to grow into a much higher skill level.
Sensitivity, Technique & Reaction Time are mastered here as the Kids get into more advanced material. The classes are a bit smaller as we only allow students into this program who have already earned their Yellow Belts. The regiment also grows as they are doing more drills and getting into more ares of study.
Beyond this too we notice that Real Confidence only comes from Genuine Experiences and in this course the kids get a lot more wrestling with better opponents. Quality, Focus & Resolve also develop over consistent here as we see Kids coming more often to develop attributes that their friends at school cannot achieve.
If anything can be said about our Kids Intermediate BJJ course it is certainly that the young men and women who go through it turn out to be phenominal young adults. Past graduates from our Kids Intermediate BJJ course have gone onto University of Maryland, Liberty University, University Of Delaware and one even to the FBI Academy.
KIDS MMA
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
The MMA Fundemental Course At Dauntless truly enables children with un-matched skills in Movement, Striking, Clinch Work, Counter Offense & The Ground.
The Movement section our MMA curriculum teaches kids Footwork for evasion and entering skills and Proper Body Mechanics for Weaving and Power Coordination for punches, kicks, knees & elbows.
The Striking section teaches kids only the most viable and effective combinations. Our base here has been Boxing, Muay Thai, Dumpag and KFM. Here we give Kids only the most practical, high percentage striking ability that works in real life.
Next is the Clinch Material, here kids learn how to obtain the Clinch or Shoot for Grapling Take Downs or Maintain Control for unique striking opportunities. How to use the Clinch in the Middle and Against The Cage are both taught with Unique Dumpag and KFM material that really enhances your child’s ability to dominate and dictate the fight from here.
The Counter Offense Section of our MMA Course is truly unique and comes mostly from Dumpag and KFM. Here Kids gain the ability to “attack the attack” whether it be a grip or a strike we instill in them the instinct to immediately counter these attempts of their opponents.
The Ground is very comprehensive where we now teach the children how to use the skills they have gained in our Basic BJJ Course to control positions and link the opponents energies into striking opportunities to win from there or move to a submission. Here the BJJ course definitely helps the children excel, that is why we usually recommend the BJJ course be taken in conjunction with the MMA course.
In the Dauntless MMA Course we do allow also the children to “Spar In The Cage” as they are ready with head gear, mouth piece and gloves. Striking and Grappling are allowed so this is only done once the Child has exhibited he or she is developing the ability to handle themselves.
Here we have really seen tremendous development of both Courage and Technique as the little ones get to know what it is like to take a hit and hit back. With this experience speculation goes away and reality comes through very clear. Children learn that nothing is impossible for them as they dig deep to always come back and keep striving. From this the Kids learn not to Fear aggression and do not display it themselves, because they are no longer insecure. They have felt it, faught it and overcome it to become far more than any bully they would ever face.
This enables children with the literal Essence of RESOLVE which carrys over into other areas of their life giving them Resevoir Of Confidence for school, college and later jobs and a career.
All kids can do this!! They just need to believe in themselves whenever they faced with adversaty and be provided with the right techniques to handle the situation. Then through time and experience their Heart, Courage and Spirit soar!! We see their Self Respect Rise and Character develop serious leadership skills.
