Benefits of
Classical Martial Arts
The physical benefits of martial arts, in the areas of fitness and self defense, are well known by most. However, many may not be completely aware of the internal advantages of this aspect of training.
Martial Arts are a great compliment to an academic program, no matter what age or grade. It organizes a student's mental energy, while placing emotions as motivators. Personal expression is a huge factor in developing a young personality. Developing a positive edge, while losing negative attitudes toward life's challenges, can be the difference in success or failure. Students learn personal discipline in order to finish what they start with confidence and creative strategy.
The increased memory capability that comes through in training can be of great value in problem solving and processing new information. Initiative, concentration, and single-minded attention learned through the power of mental and physical focus, are invaluable when a student faces a situation where they have to stand up for themselves in the face of adversity.
There is a 'Zen' concept that states there are two educations, the first you learn to make a living and the second you learn how to live. A background that includes a Classical Martial Arts program can provide essential skills, needed to succeed in life. It is a great investment for your childs growth now, and for the future!
