Martial Arts is great for children!

Carleton University, in a study reported in Psychology Today (January 1985) found that children in martial arts have a lower level of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks; a higher sense of of self-esteem; higher level of social intelligence; and were less likely to be radical. This is why millions of parents are using martial arts to supplement their children’s formal education. Parents enroll their children in E.Y. Martial Arts & Self-Defense Concepts for different reasons, but with one common goal: to help their children grow and mature to the best of their abilities. Parents play a unique role in their children’s training, acting as the liaison from the martial arts school to the home. The more an instructor knows about a child’s home and school life, the better he/she can work with the child and the parent.

Our Reward System Improves Children’s Self Esteem

Our belt and award systems are the keys to building self-esteem. When kids earn their belts or achievement stripes, it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.

Our Program Teaches Children Discipline

We have a trained staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules and behavior in class and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school.

Our Activities Channel Children’s Aggression

Many doctors have prescribed our school because of the positive outlet it gives the kids for all their energy. In fact, studies have shown that children who learn self-defense become more assertive and less aggressive.

Self-Defense + Self-Discipline = Self Confidence
Children who feel good about themselves and know how to defend themselves carry themselves in a confident way. That itself is a deterrent to bullies or anyone else who may be a threat.

A further word about martial arts training for children.....

A common parental concern is that martial arts will encourage violence and aggression. The opposite is true. Through consistent training, children will quickly discover an inner confidence and strength which enables them to move beyond the need to prove themselves physically. Patience and tolerance replace anger and frustration, giving the the child the courage to walk away.

Martial arts training takes physical aggression and redirects it in a positive and constructive manner tempered with strict discipline and control. Parents are excited to see the self-discipline, focus control and increased concentration carry over into everyday life.

The physical, mental, emotional and developmental benefits provided by martial arts training are unparalleled. No other single activity will provide your child with all the benefits martial arts has to offer. It's no wonder that so many doctors and educators recommend martial arts training for children.
