Kids Student of the Month: Kyle H.

Congratulations to our kids’ student of the month: Kyle!
Kyle is in our kids’ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at Silanoe Martial Arts.
Special thanks also go out to Kyle’s dad, Jimmy who helped us with Kyle’s interview.

Hi Kyle, why did you start training Jiu-Jitsu?

I really want to learn self-defense so I can feel safe everywhere.
Another reason is that I think Jiu-Jitsu helps prevent getting bullied in school.

Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself?

I am 8 years old. My favorite colors are green, black, yellow, and white. I like to be creative and one of my favorite things is to draw. I also have a little brother named Colin and he is doing Jiu-Jitsu too.

When did you start training Jiu-Jitsu and how often do you come to class?

I like to train Jiu-Jitsu in the kids’ program 3 days a week and I started training at Silanoe Martial Arts in July of last year.

What is your favorite thing about Jiu-Jitsu class?

My favorite thing about Jiu-Jitsu is everything related to self-defense.

What do you like most about Professor Gino’s teachings?

I like to learn how to escape things. For instance, Professor Gino taught us how to escape when someone grabs my jacket or when a bully grabs me in a headlock.

Questions for Kyle’s dad Jimmy:

What improvements have you noticed in Kyle since he’s been doing Jiu-Jitsu?

He’s getting more coordinated with his movements. He truly is learning how to escape. It’s getting harder for me to hold him down and tickle him.

Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

I really enjoy having my kids with Silanoe Martial Arts. The kids love it and they are learning a life skill. I like the fact that agility and games are a part of the training. It keeps them engaged. I can’t wait when the kids are older so they can join me in the adult program and this can be a family thing.
