Liam tries out Ji Jitsu for a week

Liam has been wanting to try out ji jitsu for a couple weeks now. I told him it had to work with everyone else's schedules and activities, so he did the research and found a place. He was able to do a free "trial" week and really liked it. He went on Tuesday/Thursday/Friday of the week we did. He really liked it.
Learning some new skills. Despite Liam having never done it before, he was surprisingly pretty good. I told him that is because you are extremely athletic Liam.


Doing some rounds iwth a partner. Not sure what this is called in the terminology ha ha.

The Thursday class he did some more learning of moves. They practice against the "wall" as their partner first to better learn the skill. Then they practice with a partner.





The Friday class Liam liked best. It was a different instructor and they mostly just did a lot of different things. I could tell Liam liked it more. They mostly just practiced moves on other partners and a lot of the kids were older and more experienced and just bigger than the Tuesday/Thursday class so Liam had more fun.

Fridays are a little trickier to get to but I told him we could do a month of classes in April and I could try and have him do Fridays if I could get it to work out.



Some of these kids had been doing this for awhile and taught a lot of stuff to Liam.






This Friday session he had all kinds of different partners which was great. He got to experience a lot of different skills.




Several kids said Liam was doing great and couldn't believe this was his first week.
