How Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Builds Resilience and Social Skills through Rough-and-Tumble Play

Are you searching for a fun, active way to help your child develop resilience and social skills in Brisbane? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) at The Agoge is a perfect fit! Often described as “wrestling with purpose,” BJJ offers kids the benefits of rough-and-tumble play in a safe, structured environment.

Rough-and-tumble play, which includes activities like wrestling and play-fighting, is shown to support children’s social and emotional growth. Our kids' BJJ classes build on these benefits, teaching valuable skills in self-defense, cooperation, and self-control. When children practice grappling and wrestling in our classes, they’re not only gaining strength and coordination—they’re also learning empathy, respect for boundaries, and how to handle challenges with resilience.

Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kids experience the physical and social benefits of rough-and-tumble play while having a blast with peers. If you're interested in martial arts for your child, try out a class at The Agoge in Brisbane and watch them grow, both on and off the mat!
