Insight BJJ and Coach Alex are the absolute best. I’ve been in education for 15 years and know good coaching and teaching when I see it. Alex is one of the very best teachers and coaches I’ve seen. His assistant coaches are top notch as well. He understands the use of specific constructive feedback and the use or praise. He has set up his classes with structure and purpose with clear goals for each session. My girls (6 and 9) absolute love him! Jiu Jitsu, in general, is a great activity for kiddos. My girls do a lot, but they thoroughly enjoy BJJ and bug me not to miss it. BJJ teaches them skills and also patience. I’m a proponent of the Growth Mindset (see Carolyn Dweck) that focuses on effort and dedication over natural ability or “smarts” and BJJ supports our parenting and family philosophies.
