if you dont no what you are talking dont talk… stop trying to look pro

...It should be halacha ...like teaching your child to swim.

The Rambam promotes physical and spiritual balance. What parent doesn’t want a self confident and healthy child? My daughter hits harder than her twin brother! Sweet!

What exactly do you find so troubling about the parents attending an end of the year tournament? It doesn’t in any way discount all the amazing learning that they do. It shows support and excitement for a new skill the have learned.

If you don’t see any thing wrong with the kids learning marshall arts, why can’t the parents enjoy whatching?????

Kids are not stupid, they know this wasn’t our top priority for their education this year. It was a way to get some healthy excersize, and have fun, AFTER school!

# 30 – You are 100% correct. When I learnt in ULY ocean pkwy and received an award for accelling in the annual Midos Toivos campaign, my parents came from Crown Heights, and my grandparents from Brough Park to be there when I received the award. When I look at the pictures of parents and grandparents beaming with joy it reminds me of how my parents and grandparents looked when I received my award. My parents excitement at my achievment left a really strong impression on me of what is important to them (I was a good ballplayer but never… Read more »

Excellent discipline and confidence builder ...

which allows the implementation of many ethical standards on an individual and group setting in the real world..
Should it be ….called…”Jew-Jitsu?”

so when your kids does well in any area aside from mishnayos baal peh, dont praise him, or get excited in any way. because of course all kids are wonderful at memorizing things they don’t understand and when we tell them that’s the only thing that’s special to us, well, wow i’m thinking of the confident adults they’ll become.

Great Pics

When I was a kid growing up in CH there a was a frume yid who taught Karate at the Oholei Torah gym (jewish center) – It was a great program. I am very turned off by the amount of excitement people have for this program, and the prominence this is given by the parents and grandparents as if this were a Mishnayos Baal Peh competition Parents, these programs are a great outlet for our kids, but we need to make it crystal clear to our children which achievements are special to us and what is just fun and games.… Read more »

Great Stuff!!
June 10, 2010 3:04 am

Can we get a program for adults???
aside from the amazing shape something like jiu jitsu can get you in its one of the ‘safer’ martial arts in that its not as violent as some of the others out there, its more technical.

TOTALLY AWESOME!
June 10, 2010 2:57 am

ADULTS, MEN (AND I”M SURE LADIES) ALSO WANT TO LEARN JIU JITSU!

PLEASE SET UP CLASSES FOR ADULTS!

A Great Thing!
June 9, 2010 10:17 pm

I’m not a Crown Heightser but i was thrilled to see that this class is available to kids in the community. BRazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great start for kids to understand body mechanics the basics of balance and how to brake it. i am a Krav Maga instructor myself and over shobbes i showed a few kids some techniques to get them excited. i was really impressed that these ten-year-olds had a decent understanding of ground fighting because they took this class. Jewish Self Defense is very important and every one Jew, especially in Crown Heights should have a… Read more »

What a wonderful kosher outlet
June 9, 2010 10:10 pm

B’h
I think this is a wonderful idea, this done in a kosher environment .
On Shlichus we do not have such choices keep up the great work

The next generation is protected!
June 9, 2010 10:05 pm

Excellent idea! Next time one of out friendly neighbors tries to attack one of our kids, thinking that we are easy prey, he will have a very nasty surprise!

There should be a class for girls too.
