When Kids Don’t Want to Train

Every family at Annunziato Jiu Jitsu experiences moments when kids resist training. This is normal.

Normalize the Slump
Fatigue, school stress, or frustration can affect motivation.

Our Calendar Method
Our children choose and circle three training days each week. When motivation drops, we ask:

“Is today one of your days?”

This system builds ownership and consistency.

Encourage Responsibility

Packing gear and tracking training days empowers kids.

Praise Effort
Consistency matters more than perfection.
