WHAT CHILDREN CAN LEARN IN THIS PROGRAM
This program is designed to develop a positive character
in today's children by utilising strict guidelines and a fun atmosphere
at the same time.
One of the basic premises of the martial arts is
respect. We teach respect first, for themselves and all around
them, and then we teach technique.
While we use the theory of an oriental warrior's
disciplinary training, it is geared more towards teaching children self-cotrrol
as their minds and bodies mature.
Through our routine technical training, a child's
physical and mental coordination will improve.
The discipline and rules of conduct in our classes,
along with the bowing, answering "yes, sir/ma'am" and other
attitude requirements, help shape the child's behaviour in a positive
direction.
Children discover self-value and pride through our
training with the attitude of "he can do it; she can do it;
I can do it."
Many children have gotten used to instant gratification
common in our hi-tech world. Our classes will help to bring out
their inner calmness and endurance. As they experience achievement
through the progression of our belt system, they will learn to pursue
goals with an "always finish what you start" attitude.
Developing powers of concentration through our training
is assisted by our "all out effort" which must be performed by
the child in every class. Children learn the three keys of
concentration - focus mind, focus eyes, focus bodies. This is one
of the most important benefits of our program. These powers of
concentration are transferred into a child's academic performance.
Children in our program learn that you must not only do
the right thing, but you must do the right thing for the right reason.
It's easy to do something because you fear punishment.
Personal responsibility means that our children must choose the correct
path on their own and accept the consequences for incorrect actions.
Group training with other children teaches the skill of
teamwork. Teamwork skills are valuable for use throughout the
course of life.
A formal training program helps to develop a child's
body, inside and out. Better mental and physical health improves
all other stress of a child's life, such as eating and sleeping habits.
Grow With Sense of Justice
By utilizing our warrior's honour codes, children will
mature and grow with a sense of fairness. Our instructors will
enforce the right way and wrong way throughout our lessons.
