Facts about children's martial arts (Part 5)

"Will my child become more violent when learning karate, jujitsu or other martial arts?"

In short, "no". Children learn self-control by practicing martial arts; the code of conduct enforced in the workplace is brought to everyday life. The general martial arts school works with parents and academic teachers to move toward the goal of the best student success.

When you see the performance of the karate demonstration team, this is not an indicator of the life skills taught in the karate course. It is the "shinest" component of karate training and is designed to attract the attention of the public. Ten-minute children use ancient weapons to break and work in synchronized choreography, which is more interesting to the public than a lecture on dealing with bullies without violence.

But let's take a closer look at the ten minutes of lightning. Next time you see a martial arts demonstration team, remember that the children must practice these skills over and over again. This requires self-discipline, goal setting, perseverance, and every child is a teamworker.

No martial arts demonstration team has a "one-way" character space. Such personality can hinder good public performance. In the typical karate course, all of the above life skills are learned and there are more.

Compared to what I learned in karate classes, children learn more about violence on TV, playing video games, and dealing with everyday life. Even if the karate teacher is the classic "evil teacher" you see in a karate kid movie or kung fu theatre, most children can think of even worse violence.

All you have to do is watch the news, comics, listen to the radio or read the newspaper to see things worse than unsupervised hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, the method of self-defense taught to children is actually pale compared to school shootings, explosions, wars and driving shots.

Karate was created by unarmed civilians on Okinawa and secretly taught among family members to protect them. In martial arts schools, philosophy is not always the same, but the seeds of violence are not planted in martial arts.

All you have to do is look around and see more, and even worse, violence is better than learning self-defense - with constructive life skills. In fact, martial artists are not "street fighters." If this is a requirement, we will recruit the toughest children in North Providence.

As I explained to the children in karate and Jiu-Jitsu classes, "Never forget this word," says the artist, "meaning to be creative, to be an innovator, and to think for yourself." Learning martial arts children It's easier to adjust and mitigate potential violence.

Most importantly, most children who learn karate or any other martial arts will not be "troublemakers". The children we have taught from the Greater Providence area of ​​Rhode Island have learned enough leadership in our karate and jujitsu classes to think for themselves.

For parents, offering their children a gift of martial arts training now has many rewards for their future.
