We all want what’s best for our kids. Parenting is an extremely hard job and you need every advantage possible to turn your child into a responsible, well adjusted, successful adult.
If you’re looking to encourage both physical and mental discipline in your child, martial arts may be just the right sport.
Self-Confidence- Having a strong, well defined sense of Self-Confidence is essential for everybody but can be especially important for young kids.
In this era of social media, it’s important for your child to have UNSHAKABLE Self-Confidence. Martial Arts will give your child Self-Confidence through learning and mastering new moves. Our coaches know how important strong, well established Self-Confidence is and always give that extra little bump that kids often crave with a “High Five!” or “Great Job” making your kid feel like a real life Superhero!
Self-Defence/Bully Proofing– Let’s face it, if your kid is in school he or she WILL ENCOUNTER BULLYING. PERIOD.
Whether your kid is being bullied or is the bully, Martial Arts can instill the confidence and strong self-image necessary to help prevent these situations. But sometimes, walking away isn’t enough. In those situations when your child has no option but to defend him or herself, you’ll be glad he or she is equipped to handle the situation quickly, confidently, and safely.
Discipline- The regimented schedule, focus on respect, and mentoring from the coaches naturally increases and improves discipline.
Usually, this increases discipline translates outside of the gym and into everyday life. Your child will understand that rules have purpose and that to be successful in and out of the gym the rules must be followed.
Better Grades- The discipline and self-confidence supplied by Martial Arts training usually pays dividends in other areas as well. We generally see an improvement in grades, class participation, homework, etc.
Exercise- It might seem obvious but one of the greatest benefits for a child in Martial Arts is regular exercise. Martial Arts builds a love of physical activity that your child will stick with for life. In addition to long term benefits of a healthier lifestyle, your kid will be worn out making bed time a breeze!
Focus / Respect- In order for your child to master Martial Arts, they must be able to focus on directions from the coaches. In order to do this, your child must learn to respect the coaches and their knowledge. This Focus and Respect will naturally take root over the course of the Martial Arts class and lead to more focus and respect outside the gym as well!
Work Ethic- Mastering Martial Arts is a lot of hard work. Your child will learn to love setting and accomplishing goals. Skills that will give them the edge in life, work, and school!
Leadership Skills- Martial Arts builds Leadership Skills like nothing else in this world! Your child will have the confidence to stand tall when other shrink back.
Socialization- Your child will make lifelong friendships built on mutual respect. Your child will thrive in any situation.
WOW! I think you’ll agree that’s a LOT of benefits for your child.
