WHY KIDS SHOULD STUDY MARTIAL ARTS
Martial arts benefits span a spectrum of physical, mental and social attributes, all of which are learned and improved through martial arts training. Children learn about courtesy, loyalty, respect, perseverance, maintaining a positive attitude, self-control and integrity. These skills will be taught and reinforced at our martial arts school. Children will be able to utilize all of these skills throughout their lifetime.

The requirements for each belt level are defined in detail and represent incremental improvement in your martial art skill level. Successive belt ranks require more difficult and comprehensive knowledge, and represent new challenges to overcome. Kids learn to set goals and work toward achieving those goals. Upon passing the tests required to receive a belt, they can look forward to the next belt level, and so on. Learning to tackle complex and comprehensive bodies of knowledge by breaking them down into smaller portions is a skill that can help outside the martial arts as well, whether it’s learning to swim or learning calculus.

The regimented nature of martial arts instruction fosters a deep sense of self-discipline in students. One can’t become a legitimate black belt overnight, and so students learn that their worthy goals will require patience, hard work, and dedicated study over several years. The message is that if it’s worth anything, it’s worth working hard for.
