Building Self Esteem and Confidence at Active Martial Arts in Monroe WA.
Many people say Martial Arts training builds confidence and builds self esteem. How exactly do we do that?
Martial Arts Instructors are well respected, looked up to, admired- idolized even. We are like super heros to children. We are professional role models, and it isn't something to be taken lightly. With this in mind, here are just a few techniques we use to build self esteem.Belt recognition - As you or your child progress through the program learning certain skills you will earn stripes on your belt. After earning all your stripes you will earn the next belt rank. Rank is earned at our school, not given. The feeling of working hard and actually earning a reward for something you accomplished is a great feeling indeed.
Group recognition - If you or your child performs well in class we will occasionally build them up in front of their peers. We use special motivational techniques to cheer you on, share your improvements with the students, and recognize your performance. Our school is a positive place where even very shy students will meet many new friends!
One on One recognition- If you or your child are going through a tough time- we will be there for you. Not just with a stress relieving workout, but as a mentor. We frequently have talks with our younger students (at the parent's request) about troubles at home, better grades, study habits, bullying, eating healthier, etc.. We are caring and compassionate expert motivators!
Postcard recognition - It is not uncommon to recieve a postcard from your favorite instructor highlighting something special you did, a obstacle you have overcome, or just plain extra motivation!
Belt Graduation- Every quarter we have a belt graduation and in addition to belts, awards are given for the most improvement, courtesy, perseverance, courage, etc..
EVERYONE is good at SOMETHING. Its our job to find that something!
