Jiu Jitsu Jokes For Kids


For those of you with Little Rolling Wrestler types at home, Jiu Jitsu under quality instruction can be an excellent choice for the right aged kids. To keep these future professors of BJJ entertained along the way, some good clean Jitsu Jokes are just what they need.

Knock Knock Jiu Jitsu Jokes

Everyone knows the format of a knock, knock joke. The trick to making them fit a specific subject is to fit the right play on words with the theme you are looking for. Here I used several and related them to Jiu Jitsu.

You can do the same thing. If you have ever heard a knock, knock joke, simply tailor it to Jiu Jitsu and try it out on the next kid that trains. Kids like the familiar so if it involves something they know, they will get a chuckle out of it… well, most of the time. They can also be brutally honest.

Take these as inspiration and try to come up with some of your own. It is not as hard as you think once you get into it.
