Jujitsu lessons?

For ages my parents have been wanting me to join a sports team and %26quot;get fit%26quot;. I have found one, but it is not a very normal sport (when i saw normal i mean over popular like footie and such). I wanted to join jujitsu lessons. I dont know how to tell my parents, and if they%26#039;ll let me take the lessons


What should i do. Also, how much should a lesson cost and will i need a membership for it (the price might make the chances better)|||If your parents are going to get all up tight about you trying to get fit, self confidence and being able to protect yourself id say there not very good parents


just stress these points to them and they should see the benefits|||you can haggle with most schools. In chicago, the going rate is between $50 - $100 per month for 3 days per week.





Dont ask your mom, ask your dad. Tell him you want to learn martial arts. read up about the different martial arts so you know what they are about when you tell them.





Ju Jitsu is a defensive martial art.





go to wikipedia.org and research karate, kung fu, ju jitsu, and aikido. dont waste time with tae kwon do.|||First things first. Do you want to take Japanese Ju Jutsu or Brazilian Ju Jutsu? They are very different from each other. Japanese is a centuries-old art that focuses on incapacitating without injury, via joint locks and throws. Brazilian is much more aggressive and uses throws and submission holds (think UFC).





Next, do you know of any places near you that offer Ju Jutsu? If not, look in your phone book or search for your city%26#039;s name and Ju Jutsu on Google. Put together a list of schools and their phone numbers. Don%26#039;t forget community centers and YMCAs, as these may also offer classes in Ju Jutsu.





Once you%26#039;ve done that, call these places and ask at what age a student may start training (Ju Jutsu, being hard on joints, is usually not started until the mid-teen years). Let them know you are interested in starting training, and would like to know what their monthly tuition is AND how many classes per week that tuition covers. Don%26#039;t forget to ask if the gi (uniform) is included. If you are given the run-around that they want you to come in to see the place and sit down and talk to them before they give you their prices, tell them straight out that you are researching prices for lessons so you can convince your parents to let you train, and your case would be much more convincing if you can present your parents with pricing.





Once you%26#039;ve got a list of schools, their costs, and whether the uniform is included, approach your parents about taking lessons. Let them know that you understand this is a long-term commitment (versus seasonal, like football or rugby) and that you would be attending X number of classes a week. Tell them what the monthly tuition is, and remind them that not only with training in Ju Jutsu increase your fitness but it will improve your focus, self discipline, concentration, memory, and integrity, all of which can be applied to school or any situation in your life. Then, see if they will accompany you to one or two places on your list so that all of you together can see the dojo, meet the instructor, and ask questions.





Be prepared, enthusiastic, and keep your mind open to any compromises your parents may offer. Good luck!|||Jiu Jitsu is a phenomenal martial art, as long as you%26#039;ll be doing the Brazilian style. Lessons for three days a week should run around eighty five dollars per month.|||jujitsu is an awesome form of selfdefense...price i dont kno...but if you wanna do it, tell them! whats the worst that could happen, you get a no?|||Jujitsu, and it%26#039;s sister-style Judo, is an excellent sport that will develop your cardiovascular system and build good muscle tone, as well as having all the other benefits of the more popular western sports.
