SERGIO GARCIA

For years, Coach Sergio Garcia — a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, father, and coach living in New Zealand — has seen firsthand how Jiu-Jitsu can shape a child’s confidence, character, and resilience. Through his work on the mats with young students, he’s come to understand something powerful: a child’s success in martial arts doesn’t come from skill alone — it’s deeply rooted in the support they receive at home.

That’s why he wrote Parents of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — a heartfelt and practical guide created especially for parents like you, who want to be part of their child’s journey in this incredible sport.

In these pages, you’ll find guidance on how to support your child’s growth without adding pressure, how to help them build a lasting love for training, and how to better understand what they’re feeling — not just physically, but emotionally — as they step onto the mats. Whether your child is just starting out or already competing, this book offers you the tools to become their biggest supporter, every step of the way.
