Student Highlight - Natalie Patino
Natalie Patino is a 16-year old female in our adults/teens Brazilian Jiu jitsu program. Initially, Natalie's father brought her in to the studio to improve self-confidence as well as to learn self-defense as a young lady.
To everyone's surprise, including Natalie's family, there was a noticeable difference in Natalie's demeanor, fitness, and confidence within a very short period of time. Her parents were vey surprised and became interested in doing a Jiujitsu program for themselves. Not long after, her parents joined in for our Naples Family Brazilian Jiu jitsu program. Being constantly on the mat, training, and working hard everyday with their daughter has formed a stronger bond within the family.
BJJ training has become their weekend activity as well as their weekday activity. It is a program that they all can enjoy, get fit, as well as improve their overall health and bond tighter as a family.
Natalie is only one of the success stories at our studio of young teens, improving their lives, getting ready for adulthood, as well as improving life skills for them to tackle what may be ahead of them, from peer pressure in high school to better stress management to overall better fitness and self-confidence. This is what jiujitsu does. This is a perfect picture of an awesome Jiu jitsu family and an outstanding young lady.
With Brazilian Jiu jitsu, not only do you learn martial arts but you learn more about yourself as well as learn more about the capabilities that you did not know you even had. BJJ is one of the most fascinating martial arts because of the way it can allow a smaller person to subdue a stronger and bigger opponent. In a way, it is for this reason why Brazilian Jiu jitsu is so addicting and appeals to every member of the family as it branches out to women, teens, and children as well.
