Video: See how Jiu-Jitsu can help your child

Austin McDaniel is a 14-year-old boy who lives in Indiana and led a normal life, until he was attacked in September 2012 in his school. The cameras caught the aggression, which left Austin badly shaken.

Black belt Rener Gracie saw the images and reached out to the boy’s family, inviting them to go to California to try to restore what had been rocked by the incident.

In the video below, you will witness the transformation that occurred during a single week of intensive training at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy.

Austin assimilated that you can be strong and yet gentle and respectful. With the lessons learned from the gentle art, he knows how to defend from violence and bullying and has acquired the confidence he was lacking to live in this world.

Check out the video and see how you can help your child.
