JT has been learning JiuJitsu at the Gracie Academy in Torrance for a while. He loves it so much. It's kind of his Dad and Unk thing. He goes twice a week and comes home wiped out every time. He just received his second stripe, marking 40 classes. He's recognized in front of the class and then gets to help kick the dodge balls that they play with at the end.
JT loves coming home and practicing his moves on his Unk and Dad. I love the emphasis on character that they teach. Every six weeks they host a game day and in order to attend, you have to accumulate points. Depending on the attribute they are focusing on, you can earn points by doing different good deeds, completing tasks without being told and so on. This last section was on RESPONSIBILITY, JT earned the most points of all the students! He was the responsibility champ and got a big patch for the back of his Gi. He was so excited and we are really proud!
