COQ Thursdays After-School - Fall

Service Description

Anti-Bullying Jiu Jitsu Training for Kids Our anti-bullying Jiu-Jitsu program takes a holistic approach to children's personal development by combining Jiu Jitsu and physical fitness with mental discipline, self-esteem, community building, and critical thinking. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic way to teach coordination, gross and fine motor skills, balance, pattern recognition, and strategy. Students will learn how to defend themselves against bullying without using strikes; focusing on Jiu Jitsu techniques that allow them to control and neutralize their opponent while promoting confidence, problem-solving skills, non-violent conflict resolution, and allyship. We bring after-school programming right to your neighbourhood! Hosted at the River Springs Community Centre, Coquitlam River Elementary School students are picked up at the final bell at CRE and walked over. Registration is also open to students outside of CRE, who can be dropped off directly at the Community Centre after school. Students take part in a two-hour class, which includes a snack break, and finish at 5:00 pm for pick-up.
