Martial Arts for Kids in Monroe WA
Got karate kids? Do they run around the house like ninjas? Martial Arts might be the answer!
With a scream, your 6-year-old leaps into the air kicking, raising your hair and blood pressure simultaneously. Before you panic and pad the walls, try channeling this energy into a martial arts class.Activities like tae kwon do, and karate are a fun way for both boys and girls to achieve fitness and focus. Some parents may think they also promote violence, but that's a myth, according to experts. The martial arts actually help teach self-discipline and socialization skills. In fact, many parents whose children have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) report great success with these programs because self-control and concentration are exactly the skills underdeveloped in ADHD kids.
A typical hour-long class begins and ends with a bow to the Instructors to show respect. After a fun warm-up, students practice skills, which includes kicks, punches, and blocks. Each requires concentration and strict attention.
Progress is marked by the belt system. Testing for each new level, every three months, is a good exercise in setting and achieving goals.
But, say experts, it's the respect kids learn, whether from bowing or standing still and waiting for the next command, that can be the most important benefit: It often carries over into school, helping to improve behavior and even grades, according to recent research.
Our Junior Striking program, geared for school-aged children, helps them to develop confidence, endurance, athletic ability, discipline, focus, concentration, and respect.
