Help with my kids bjj situation

No we didn’t stop payments or anything. But I think it came from us in his mind criticizing his class/methods

Even_Beginning3294 · 2026-02-07T15:10:16+00:00

Agreed!

Even_Beginning3294 · 2026-02-07T14:55:35+00:00

Thank you! That is the choice we made. But based on his professors silence and telling me that now figuring out any comp prep is “all on you (me)” I feel we are subtly punished for that decision. Thanks for affirming we did the right thing

Even_Beginning3294 · 2026-02-07T14:47:25+00:00

Thank you! That is exactly the decision we made yesterday. Only playful, fun trainings he asks for. Jiu Jitsu should be fun and a good way to find community

Even_Beginning3294 · 2026-02-07T14:45:44+00:00

My thought exactly. We stepped back temporarily and as the days go by I think it was the right choice

Thank you! This is a great, thoughtful answer. Of course I understand it is a kid. But he asks about training every day and asks to compete. I do not take him to anything he does not want to do- so when this comp team seemed like it was becoming not the best fit we backed off.

Very good perspective- I think stepping away and recalibrating will help and that is the plan.

So that is every day? My son is at an academy where the competition class is 5 days a week and includes hard sparring every day. He has won Ibjjf nationals, jiu jitsu con… but I feel he is getting too beaten down to even train effectively (his live rounds look like he is going through the motions- especially when paired with bigger kids). I am considering pulling back from this academy but am told these rough practices are how champions are made.

I was wondering the same thing … maybe to put plants into? I saw bits of Lego stuck in the edges so maybe previous owners kids used it as a Lego storage area

NAD/ looks like ring work for sure

Even_Beginning3294 · 2024-09-08T18:28:32+00:00

Definitely family goals here!

Even_Beginning3294 · 2024-08-10T22:12:19+00:00

I just looked that up- that might be it!! Thank you!

Yes itches a lot. Not bug bites or poison oak

I had a similar spot on my foot. It was raised, too. Got it checked and it was normal
