YOUNG WARRIORS

|
Our
Program for Kids will help your Child Develop
|
Self
Esteem
Children
develop a better sense of themselves as being stronger and more
capable.
|
|
Achievement
As
training continues as feeling of accomplishment grows.
Goal Setting:
Regularly scheduled belt tests provide both short and long term
goals.
|
|
Integrity
A
strong code of Ethics and Values are taught and followed.
Indomitable
Spirit
Through
being encouraged and pushed to excel, students develop strength
in the face of adversity- both physical and mental.
|
|
Responsibility
Children
are taught and expected to take care of their own and the school's
equipment.
|
|
Loyalty
Is
stressed heavily, not just to the school but also to their family,
friends and ideals.
Discipline
The
regimented environment of a martial arts school instills a deep
work ethic and sense of discipline in students.
|
|
Love
of Family
Honoring
the mother and father is stressed in almost every class.
|
|
Physical
fitness
Martial arts training develops cardiovascular
fitness as well as muscular strength. Martial artists also enjoy
a heightened sense of balance, as well as learning specific skills
to avoid injury.
Mental focus
Learning to execute the complex and foreign
techniques of martial arts requires extreme mental focus. Students
often find this focus is applicable to academic studies as well.
|
|
Individual
achievement
Students progress at their own pace in martial
arts schools. Rather than suffering the embarrassment of being
compared with kids who are better at sports--like hitting a baseball,
or shooting baskets--they train with others at their same level
(e.g. belt color).
|
|
Camaraderie
and belonging
Most
martial arts schools develop an esprit de corps, a sense of brotherhood
(or sisterhood) surrounding the school, its instructors, and students.
|
|
Respect
for self and others
The structure of martial arts training is
based on mutual respect--students show respect to the instructor,
to each fellow student, even upon entering the school. In addition,
martial art training promotes a healthy self-respect--now that
your body is capable of these amazing feats, why smoke, drink,
or do drugs? You can't because your martial arts progress will
be hindered.
|
|
Self-esteem
Parents and psychologists recommend martial
arts for boosting a student's self-esteem. Beginners often progress
rapidly in a good school--able to perform techniques that seemed
superhuman in a few months. This accomplishment and development
("Mom! I broke a board!") gives students pride in themselves
and their abilities.
|
|
Security
Lastly,
the martial arts provide skills for personal security. For kids
who are preyed upon by bullies, the ability to defend themselves
allows them peace of mind. In almost all cases, they never have
to use their martial arts technique.
