Don’t let your kids or teens train or compete in MMA if there is head contact. All concussive trauma is brain damage, brain damage is forever, and kids and teens can’t meaningfully consent to an activity that can have severe lifelong implications. There are safer and better training options for kids and teens that don’t have as high a risk of brain damage and CTE.

Now on the other hand, if you’re an adult and are aware of the consequences then fight, spar, and knock yourself out! I totally support your right to take risks and bear the consequences thereof so long as you’re beating the crap out of other people who have also consented to take the same risks!

How to play jiu-jitsu with your kids. In this video we show how to teach the armlock to different age divisions and skill levels. The most important part is to keep it fun!

“Many parents ask me how they should “roll” with their children. Here is an example…but it’s very important that the adult knows jiu-jitsu, so you can react and help your children the right way.

I don’t like to roll “too easy” neither I try “to kill” the children that I’m rolling with. I like to make sure they are working to conquer their techniques. Also, they must understand jiu-jitsu mechanics (action & reaction). You must make sure they are having fun while they are learning jiu-jitsu properly.”
