Hi Nicholas, can you please tell us a little bit about yourself?

I’m 9 years old. I like to draw and I also like family time. My favorite character of all time is Sonic the Hedgehog.

Why did you start training Jiu-Jitsu?

I was interested because I wanted to learn how to defend myself and make new friends.

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

About 5 months ago I started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I go twice a week.

What is your favorite part about Jiu-Jitsu class?

The sparring is my favorite part of the Jiu-Jitsu class.

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

I like how he shows us the moves, how to do them properly and he’s always helpful.

Questions for Nicholas’ mom Eunice:

What improvements have you noticed in Nicholas since he’s been practicing Jiu-Jitsu?

Nicholas has more confidence in himself and believes he can defend himself. He is also learning to get out of his comfort zone and is more self-conscious of himself and his actions.

Nicholas has become more confident and can defend himself.

Martial Arts will help anyone gain confidence and they will learn how to defend themselves. It also helped Nicholas to get out of his comfort zone and made him grow.
