HOW-TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MARTIAL ART PROGRAM FOR YOUR CHILD

While most other martial arts schools focus on just one or two areas of self-defense, Master Lowell’s teach a mixed martial arts system that combines the techniques and concepts of three disciplines; Krav Maga, modern kickboxing and submission grappling (Jiu-Jitsu / 'on the ground' self-defense). At Master Lowell’s Mixed Martial Arts, they are committed to ensuring that every student receives well-rounded, effective self-defense skills that work in real situations. Their students learn to defend themselves in virtually any situation, whether they are standing up or on the ground. As they combine the best and most effective techniques from traditional karate and Kung Fu, Krav Maga, modern kickboxing and submission grappling, their mixed martial arts program really provides the best martial arts system of today. Traditional Karate, Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu are very 'forms' and 'routine' oriented. Combining some of those traditional techniques with the more modern self-defense skills of kickboxing, Krav Maga, and submission grappling provides a more comprehensive self-defense for kids. The progressive movement routines taught in mixed martial arts are also very effective in developing focus and self-discipline in kids. Master Lowell’s program develops confidence, focus, self-discipline, determination, physical fitness and effective self-defense skills. Kids learn to focus, become determined and learn to achieve. And with each achievement they become more and more confident. Martial arts classes are non-competitive in nature. Kids advance at their own pace with personalized instruction. As they progress, mastering moves and techniques, their confidence and self-esteem soar. Many kids do not gain this kind of self-esteem from other sports. With martial arts, everyone feels great. And everyone achieves. Also, many parents and kids are concerned about bullying. Today, a child is bullied every seven minutes. And out of fear and embarrassment, most never tell their parents or their teachers that they are being bullied. With martial arts, kids become 'bully proof'. Kids learn how to deal with different bullying situations and to be confident enough to handle them (without fear or force). In short, confident kids don't get bullied! Kids also become determined when learning martial arts. Master Lowell’s instills a 'non-quitting spirit' in their kids, which they wind up applying to all they do. Even school! Their kids also learn respect. Respect for themselves and respect for others. Martial arts kids (especially Master Lowell’s kids) are generally better behaved, more respectful towards others, and more likely to make the right decisions when confronted with peer pressure. Many of Master Lowell’s kids achieve substantial improvement in school. Their schools display numerous report cards of kids who dramatically improved their grades. Also, a published research study has shown that kids can overcome AD/HD by learning martial arts. Dramatic improvement was reported in academics, focus and impulse control. A 3-month scientific research study was conducted and presented at Hofstra University in New York. The study measured the effects of a Martial Arts Program on the academic and behavior performance of 'non-medicated' boys with AD/HD. Martial Arts program’s such as Master Lowell’s was shown to substantially improve the behaviors and academic performance of boys with AD/HD. School teachers participating in the study reported dramatic improvement in academics, homework, focus abilities and impulse control. All without medication. "The study provides empirical data supporting Martial Arts Program’s like Master Lowell’s as a Positive Non-Medication Intervention for boys with AD/HD", "The children participating in program’s like Master Lowell’s were shown to substantially increase their percentage of homework completion, academic performance and classroom participation. They were also shown to substantially decrease the number of classroom rules broken and the number of times they inappropriately left their seat in class." Master Lowell is especially proud of these study results. It scientifically substantiates what Master Lowell has said for years; that Master Lowell’s helps develop focus, self-discipline, confidence and even academic performance in children (whether they have AD/HD or not).
