Thanks again @dollarsandsense. I want to write an article soon about selecting the right school. It can be very overwhelming for someone who doesn't know the difference between a competition school and one that focuses on the basics of self-defense. There's a heated debate in the jiu-jitsu community on the benefits and drawbacks of both styles, but I really think it depends on the individual. When I get time, I'll see what I can dig up for you in the New England area. It might be a fun way to engage with your kid(s) as well.
