Ages 8 and up
program description
Our Children’s
Preteen / Teen class combines traditional martial arts
training with high level character development and state of the
art teaching
methods. Not only do our children learn self-defense, they also
develop very positive feelings about themselves and others.
There are many concerns with how our children are
growing up in today's world. The pressures on our youth today are
very different from when we were growing up. Children don't only
have to worry about getting good grades and behaving, they have
the constant battle of avoiding drugs, gangs, violence, bullying,
pier pressure and are under the constant threat of being abducted
by an adult or another child.
The dangers our children face today are unbelievable.
We don't want to be paranoid, but we do want them to be safe. The
best way to accomplish this is to have a set plan both at home
and away from home. At Blue Life Karate Centers, we realize that
in order to give a child a head start in life, they must possess
certain skills. Although the need for self defense both Mentally
and Physically are important, we cannot ignore the Life Skills
and Mental Benefits that we much teach our children.
benefits
Our programs place emphasize on building self-confidence,
discipline, and courtesy in children. Using gestures of respect
and polite greetings, the structure of courtesy is built into our
class instruction.
The classes develop coordination and increase strength and
flexibility, which is so important during growing years.
Martial Arts is great for children
A psychological study found that children in martial arts have an increased sense
of responsibility., a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks, and
a higher sense of self-esteem. This is why millions of parents are using martial
arts to supplement their children’s education.
Our reward system improves children’s
self-esteem
The belt system is the key to building esteem. When kids earn their belts 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 of behavior in
class, and we expect the same kind of 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.
Our program teaches children essential
self defense skills
Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the
kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they don’t go home
and try them on their family members or neighbors.
