Self Confidence
Martial Arts is great for improving self confidence, this happens through two areas, as students progress through the belt ranks their
belief and confidence grows. Also by learning to defend themselves they feel more secure which helps greatly improves self confidence.
Fitness
Martial arts are a great way to improve your fitness, working every muscle in your body. Punching is great for your arms, back and shoulders. Kicking is great for toning and strengthening the back and front of your legs.
Lose Weight
Martial arts can burn up to 800 calories per hour, that’s double most other types of exercise. This is why people choose martial arts to lose weight.
Focus/Concentration
The first area we work on with any child is the ability to focus; after all if they can’t concentrate they won’t be able to learn. We start by teaching the 3 rules of concentration which is focus your eyes, focus your mind and focus your body. This will greatly improve you Childs focus and concentration.
Respect
Students learn to get respect by giving respect and treating other people the way we want to be treated, and to respect parents and teachers most of all.
Self Control
We teach students to develop control over their bodies through exercise in class. Once they learn to control their body, the mind follows. So when they get angry and want to react, self control will stop them.
Improve other sports
We work a lot on developing speed, power, timing, flexibility & co-ordination in our classes. These skills are important in any sport
Self discipline
We instil the attitude of knowing what to do and going right ahead and doing it without being told. It’s just like a muscle, the more it’s used the bigger it gets.
Self defence
We don’t just teach the physical techniques of self defence, we also teach the attitude of self defence, awareness, and being able to spot potentially dangerous situations before they occur.
Prevent bullying
Lots of parents have enrolled their children for the same reason; we teach children how to give out the right signals to the bully, we teach them to correct body language to enable them to express themselves in a confident way. As well as lots of physical and mental tactics.
