Student of the Month: Colin H.(Jiu-Jitsu Kids)

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

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

Because I like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and also because my dad made me do it.

Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself?

Currently, I am 5 years old almost 6 and I go to Washington Elementary School here in San Gabriel. Soon I will be in 1st grade. I like to ride cars and riding on buses too. I love Legos.

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

Last year I started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu together with my older brother Kyle. I train three times a week and rarely miss a class.

What is your favorite thing about Jiu-Jitsu class?

My favorite thing about Jiu-Jitsu class is the shrimp or hip escape. It is really important in Jiu-Jitsu and I love to do it.

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

Professor Gino tells us exactly what we need to do in order to get better at Jiu-Jitsu.

Questions for Colin’s dad Jimmy:

What improvements have you noticed in Colin since he has been doing Jiu-Jitsu?

Colin’s technique has steadily improved. He’s more outgoing both at school and in Jiu-Jitsu class. He is less shy about answering questions or volunteering.

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

Jiu-Jitsu is the only thing both my boys want to continue to do. They don’t want to do any other sports so you guys are doing something right.
