Martial arts training for kids is one of the best ways to prepare them to meet the world with discipline, respect, confidence, focus, humility, fitness, defense and more. These very important attributes and skills help carry kids into a centered and successful adulthood, and the benefits so far outweigh the low cost of training that the investment is almost a no-brainer. There are many types of martial arts training, and taekwondo is particularly compelling in its ability to help kids grow mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Respect & Discipline
Perhaps one of the attributes most needed in today’s world is the discipline to respect and honor others and motivate oneself. Learning the proper forms and techniques of taekwondo requires ongoing study and practice, building self-discipline as they test, progress and earn recognition when meeting milestones. The best instruction teaches respect for parents, teachers, instructors and others, and teaches goal-setting doing the work to reach those goals.
Confidence & Humility
The ability to motivate and take care of oneself when threatened is a big confidence-builder for anyone, and martial arts training for kids is arguably one of the best ways to learn self motivation and defense. Learning to focus one’s mind, body and spirit to achieve goals is an important element of martial arts, and properly-attained confidence also creates fertile soil for proper humility to take root and grow.
Fitness & Defense
Taekwondo is a highly physical sport, helping kids build gross motor skills, balance, coordination and body and situational awareness. These skills serve kids well in all other sports, helps build strong and flexible bodies, and, in the event a child must ever defend him or herself or others, gives them the skills to do so. The world isn’t always a safe place, and knowing how not to be victimized is the best way to combat that lack of safety.
