Martial Arts Classes for Teens
Martial Arts Classes For Building Character
- Martial arts training helps instill a sense of discipline in students. This discipline may manifest itself in a student standing up for a weaker classmate or helping others with their school work. Discipline is necessary for any teen to achieve their goals and desires.
- Martial arts training helps young people learn how to deal with frustration and work toward a specific goal.
- Through sharing what they’ve learned with newer students confidence and leadership skills are developed that can benefit your teenager for the rest of their life.
- Kwon’s Blackbelt Academy provides a fun, supportive atmosphere where young people find instructors who care about them and want to see them succeed.Martial arts training is certainly a physical endeavor in addition to all of the mental and emotional benefits provided. Teenagers today are more sedentary than they were in the past, and getting off the couch and sweating a little bit helps them learn the benefits of physical activity. Your teen may start losing weight, become more active and take more interest in physical activities after martial arts training.
- Taken as pure exercise, martial arts 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 (like learning how to fall properly).
- From a physical stand point, the neurological connections made at this time in a person’s life are crucial. Teenagers are quickly growing into their bodies. At this point in their life, physical conditioning such as the martial arts is a great way to build the neurological connections between the brain and muscles for better coordination and balance that will be used the rest of their life.
Martial Arts For Self Defense
- Teaching martial arts to teenagers in an age of gang violence and bullying may seem to be counterintuitive, but the benefits of martial arts training can help to mitigate these social ills.
- Teaching teens how to effectively protect themselves in the event of an attack does much more than just teach them how to punch and kick hard. It teaches a self-confidence that comes from the inner knowledge that they don’t have anything to prove. You may notice that your teenager walks a little straighter, holds their head higher and speaks up for himself more after a little martial arts training.
- The reaction of most people when attacked is to freeze. Their mind goes blank which allows the attacker time to get in close and take control. Martial arts trains your teen to react automatically in crises. Those precious first few seconds often make all the difference in an attack, as most attackers will retreat in the face of a serious defence.
