How Martial Arts Training Beneficial for

Your Kids?

People generally think the by learning any form or style of martial arts their

children might become bullies by using it as an advantage over other kids.

This is a misconception about an art that is totally different from what

people think. Martial art is a mixture of coordination, discipline, respect

and boosts the confidence level of the learner. Following are few benefits

your kid would gain by learning this art of self defence:

High level of discipline: Self-control is taught and the learner is able

to concentrate more on important things. The instructors would teach

the kids to concentrate and focus more on how to execute a particular

technique properly and accurately.

Discipline can be defined as self-control that ensures that you do not do

what has not been asked and must complete the task which has been

asked to do. In other words, this technique would make your kid more

disciplined than before. Any form or style would surely be hard to learn

at the beginning, but the reward and goal to achieve a higher rank or

level would make them disciplined.

Increases self-esteem: Your kid would gain high level of self-esteem

once he/she realises his/her worth. When the child becomes more

confident, capable and develops ability to face the challenges, level of

self-esteem increases manifold. They would achieve success in small

tasks faced in everyday life and as the training improves, these

challenges start to look easier.

Learn to respect others: Value of experience, rank, age and expertise

is taught by almost all the forms of martial arts. High level of experience

and expertise is indicated by higher ranks. When a person achieves a

particular rank, he/she can spread their art by teaching others. Even

outside the gym or the training school, your kids would learn and know

how respect people.

Helps to set goals in life: In any style of martial arts, specific goals in

form of ranks are present. More your kid trains, the higher rank is

achieved. These ranks are indicated often by using belts of different

colours. Your child would learn how to face number of challenges at a

time and deal with those effectively. In the training period the whole

knowledge is divided into parts and ranking increase with the time and

experience. This enables the learner to prioritise the gaols to advance in

the process of learning.

The art of self-defence: Your kids would have to face a number of

bullies in school and colleges. But they could deal with them if have

ability to defend themselves. This confidence would give them immense

mental peace and they would be able to concentrate more on the school

activities.

Body would become fit: The training period helps to improve the

muscular strength of your child. He/she would become fitter and agile

than before. A better body balance is achieved and they would learn

techniques to prevent injuries.

If all these points attract you, then let your kid learn martial arts. Inner
