We joined Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu Center right before Thanksgiving. It’s the best decision we have made for our son. The dojo is spotless. And the instructors are professional, supportive and very welcoming. The moment you step through the door you are treated like part of the family. Three months in and my son's confidence has already skyrocketed. He absolutely loves his time in the dojo. I’m pretty sure he’d live there if he could. His behavior at home has greatly improved as well. His every day responsibilities are taken care of without being asked and when I ask him to do something for me I only have to ask once (unless he doesn’t hear me ?).

My daughter has been coming to Popkin-Brogna twice a week for over a year. They not only have taught her martial arts, but they have taught her very important life skills. She has become more confident, has learned patience, determination, responsibility and self-discipline. The instructors balance the classes between serious instruction and “fun” activities. The sensais and sempais are great role models and are there to listen to the students and guide them or provide advice or help when needed. I would highly recommend PBJJC to anyone looking for an enriching activity for their children.

My 2, pre-teen sons and younger daughter have been attending the Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu Center for the past several months and I can't say enough positive things about the Dojo! Everyone is very knowledgeable, caring, kind, and welcoming. The environment is full of inspiration and motivation for young one's to invest in themselves and to do their very best- at the Dojo, at home, in school, and in their community. The Senseis value family involvement and participation and I really enjoy attending at least 1x/week and watching my children literally shout "positivity".

My son had been going to this Jujitsu school on and off for about 5 yrs. The training has been amazing for his mental, emotional, and physical well being. The sensais are phenomenal teachers, mentors and guides. They not only teach what is needed on the mat but are even more so focused on what happens outside the dojo. They are always there for him and helping with any issues in school and at home, always willing to support and guide him and us. As parents, it means so much to have such a great support system and team backing you up and showing your kids what theyare truly capable of. Thank you Sesai Popkin, Sensai Joe, Sempai Nick and, of course, Sempai Nick (No that's not a typo. There are two Sempai Nicks, both always there serving the kids and helping them reach their next level of ultimate potential ).

I absolutely love taking my kids to PBJC! I take my 6yr old son and 4 yr old daughter there. My son is not only learning to defend himself but also learning skills that he could use in daily life. My daughter is in the mini ninja class and she loves it! The instructors keep the class fun and engaging. The facility is clean and the equipment is cleaned after every class. I highly recommend this dojo!

The senseis and senpais are so good at what they do.

Yesterday I partook in a special mother's day class and before then, I think I knew intellectually that the jujitsu center was more than just an extracurricular. But yesterday, I really got to experience and internalize what they are imparting to our kids; leadership, confidence, accountability, focus, respect, communication. And it's more than just a credence on the wall. The recitations and affirmations are incorporated into action, daily.

Really really so impressed with and feeling fortunate to be a part of PBJJC.

Reasons Kids Need Martial Arts When Going Back to School

August 1, 2023

Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu offers unique advantages for children.

  1. Realistic Self-Defense Skills:

Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu focuses on practical self-defense techniques that are effective in real-world situations.  Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu emphasizes functional self-defense, teaching children how to protect themselves in various scenarios. This knowledge not only enhances their physical safety but also boosts their self-assurance, knowing they have the ability to defend themselves if needed.

  1. Adaptable Problem-Solving:

In Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu, students encounter a wide range of opponents with different body types. This exposure encourages adaptive problem-solving skills. Children learn to assess and adjust their techniques based on the unique challenges they face, promoting critical thinking and strategic decision-making. These problem-solving abilities are invaluable in academic settings, where students encounter various subjects and learning styles.

  1. Practical Application of Techniques:

Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu incorporates realistic scenarios and drills to reinforce the practical application of techniques. By training in simulated situations, children develop quick reflexes and muscle memory. This training translates to heightened responsiveness and agility, making them more adept at handling unexpected challenges both inside and outside the classroom.

  1. Increased Body Awareness and Coordination:

The techniques and movements in Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu require a high level of body awareness and coordination. As children progress in their training, they become more attuned to their bodies, which can improve their overall physical prowess. This heightened coordination can enhance their performance in sports and other physical activities, contributing to a healthier and more active lifestyle.

  1. Teamwork and Cooperation:

While martial arts often include individual training, Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu emphasizes partner drills and exercises. Through cooperative training, children learn the value of teamwork and communication. They build trust and respect for their training partners, fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. These social skills are transferable to group projects and interactions with peers in school, promoting a positive and inclusive school experience.

  1. Mind-Body Connection:

Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu emphasizes the connection between the mind and body, promoting mindfulness and mental focus. Children learn to control their emotions, stay calm under pressure, and channel their energy effectively. This mind-body connection can significantly improve their ability to concentrate during studies and exams, leading to better academic performance.

Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu offers children a unique advantage in life, going beyond traditional martial arts benefits. From increased body awareness to enhanced teamwork and a strong mind-body connection, Popkin-Brogna Jujitsu provides children with a comprehensive foundation for success both inside and outside the school environment.
