It is more important than ever to get your children involved in a martial arts program like Master Lowell’s MMA 1(321) 255-3474. Children are more likely to become victims In today’s violent society, and with the increase in crimes against children. It is victims of physical and sexual attacks and this high risk warrants a thorough study of self defense.
Children who feel less threatened may actually be less prone to aggression.
According to child education specialist Nicholas Cokinos, “Besides the three R’s (reading, writing arithmetic), every parent should ensure their child knows two things; Martial Arts and how to swim.”
Martial Arts can be a catalyst to promote self confidence, assertiveness, goal orientation, calmness, and coordination.
Grace under pressure is developed by the format of training. Apply a small amount of pressure, teach the student how to handle it, and then apply a little more. Assertiveness is developed and is the practical lesson of this type of practice or training in martial arts. Psychiatrists have recommended martial arts training for patients who lack assertiveness. Defending prearranged acts of aggression makes everyday encounters seem easy in comparison of reacting under pressure.
Martial arts lessons help young adults to study because of the heavy concentration involved. A healthy body and a healthy mind.
Martial Arts are goal oriented through the use of the individual belt color system.
Children, too, are distinguishing themselves in the martial arts and perhaps the most steadfast are these young people.
Children take it up for fun or sport, and learn poise and self defense in return.
Discipline is strongly emphasized even at a child’s young age. Each child no matter how young, and some are only 3, are taught respect both to themselves and to others. They address each other always by “Mister” and “Miss” and are truly ladies and gentlemen in the dojo.
Martial Arts training can be of great value to the child of today. Psychologists say that a person without self confidence will never develop to his or her full potential. Give your child the opportunity to participate in a program that will develop their own self confidence.
Martial arts are an excellent recreation for young people. It provides an upbeat attitude and a clear outlook on life. It helps a person to understand his or her own strengths and weaknesses, to develop courage, to mature more quickly, and to learn restraint over his or her emotions. The health oriented attitude of the martial arts might very well steer a young person away from drugs and alcohol. That alone would be a worthwhile reason for allowing kids to study the art.
Kids are empty vessels waiting to be filled. They have not been taught that they can’t do fantastic techniques and complicated movements and are therefore more likely to try 100% all the time.
Kids even as young as 5 or 6 have unlimited energy and exuberance. This is important considering the demands of the martial arts. They are more likely to be energetic and can even train several hours a day and several times a week.
What children may lack in striking power they make up in agility, which helps them to evade attack. Besides, many Orientals are of small structure, and so are their children. This has not prevented them from being accomplished martial artists.
A child who knows the martial arts may never have to fear a bully or a street tough.
Martial Arts is achievement oriented. Positive role models are present in the dojo. Exhibiting skills to the best of ones ability is all that is required. Children exhibiting determination soon apply it to their personality.
A martial arts organization can fulfill a young adults need to belong, yet it is a distinct individual sport. This allows a student to perform to his or her highest ability without feeling rejected. This is a distinct advantage of karate/MMA over team sports.
With continued training, young adults become enhanced with the mystic that surrounds the martial arts. Belonging to a group that has a positive output, children are educated and motivated away from crime, drugs, and alcohol.
