TOP 10 REASONS FOR KIDS SHOULD TAKE MARTIAL ARTS
In the
good old days , parents worried more about their children
being home by the time the street lights came on than whether
they got the
recommended amount of daily activity. Today, however, the world has
changed and we are faced with a myriad
of challenges that were unheard of
only a generation ago. For instance, today s parents are advised to
monitor their
children s body mass index (height-to-weight ratio) as the
obesity epidemic among children ages 6 to 19 has reached nearly
quadrupled from what it was in the 1960s.
Physical activity such as karate will not only
help today s
children by preventing them from becoming obese or helping them to lose
weight if necessary, it will
also teach them healthy habits that can last a
lifetime. Here are Pence Defense Kempos Top 10 Reasons Why Kids Should
Take Martial Arts Classes:
1. A HEALTHY, LIFETIME HABIT
Kids who exercise
are more likely to keep exercising as adults. Because
of our emphasis on personal responsibility, respect, discipline,
and
control; and our acceptance of individuals of all levels of physical
skill, Martial Arts provides a great alternative
to other sports, which may
tend to exclude certain children.
2.
MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY
The exercises we do in class help our students improve cardiovascular
function, build muscle,
and achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
3. MAINTAIN A STRONG BODY
Regular physical activity such as Martial Arts helps build and maintain
strong, healthy muscles, bones and joints.
4. MARTIAL ARTS DEVELOP OTHER SKILLS
Because our curriculum emphasizes
Courtesy, Modesty, Respect, and
Integrity Martial Arts aids in the development of important interpersonal
skills.
In addition, Martial Arts at our school promotes the
self-discipline necessary to set and achieve life goals. Of course,
we also offer the best in self-defense training.
5. FEEL BETTER AND SLEEP
BETTER
In conjunction with a healthy diet that is low in fat, artificial
flavors and colors, and preservatives, vigorous
physical activity such as
Martial Arts classes improve the quantity and quality of childrens sleep.
6.
PERFORM BETTER IN SCHOOL
Our own experience, as well as research has shown that the emphasis
placed on Focus and Concentration
as developed in our classes promotes
improved school attendance and enhances children s academic performance.
7.
DEVELOP A STRONG SELF-IMAGE
Because of the positive, highly motivational atmosphere of our classes,
kids who practice
Martial Arts have greater self-esteem and better
self-images. Children with a strong self-esteem are better equipped to
resist bullies and negative peer pressure.
8. REDUCE THE RISK OF CERTAIN
DISEASES
Participating in regular physical activity prevents or delays the
development of many chronic diseases for
children (e.g., heart disease,
diabetes, obesity, and hypertension) and promotes an overall healthy
lifestyle.
9.
REDUCE ANXIETY AND STRESS
Children who are active report fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression
and a better overall
mood.
10. IMPROVE MOTOR SKILLS
The blocking, punching, kicking and other techniques
and drills of
Martial Arts helps improve children s motor coordination and enhances the development of various motor performance
skills.
"The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can
alter his life by altering his
attitude." -- William James
