10 Reasons Kids Should Learn Martial Arts
Here are 10 great reasons all kids should learn martial arts.
- To learn to protect themselves. Almost all martial arts were created with self-defense in mind. Even martial sports can help a practitioner develop some self-defense skills.
- To increase concentration and focus. Focus is like a muscle, the more you use it the stronger it gets. In our martial arts program we teach children how to focus.
- Focus Your Eyes
- Focus Your Ears
- Focus Your Body
- Focus Your Mind
- To develop good social skills. Social skills are an important part of life. Kids who learn to communicate, and interact with others will be more successful than those that don’t.
- To gain self-respect and to respect others. We teach our students the 4 laws of respect:
- Make eye contact when speaking to another or being spoken to.
- Use words of respect: yes/no sir/ma’am
- Follow the golden rule, treat others the way you would like to be treated.
- Be kind.
- To increase confidence and self-esteem. Confidence and self-esteem come from success. As students become more experienced, and their martial arts improves, so does their belt color. This builds confidence and self-esteem.
- To develop lifelong healthy fitness habits. Many in this day and age have a sedentary life style or job. Teaching and helping kids to build a habit of staying active and healthy will benefit them their entire lives. It also helps relieve stress and burn off extra energy.
- To learn how to be helpful and considerate. Part of self-discipline which we discuss in our first lesson is doing the things we are responsible for without being told. This builds a habit of helping out in and out of the household.
- To perform better in life, school and beyond. Learning to set and achieve goals, along with all of the other benefits will set your child up for success.
- To develop a winning attitude. Winning happens by being consistent, paying attention to the small details, and working hard. Our program helps kids learn to be positive, and to set winning habits, all while having fun!
- To be active and have fun! Kids need exercise! It keeps them healthy. Reduces stress! Helps them earn better grades and they really have fun in our program while working hard!
- BONUS – They learn leadership! All of our students get to learn how to lead in class. How to project their voices and how to be confident in front of a class. They learn how to encourage and complement other students. Students learn how to push themselves outside of their comfort zones and be successful!
