School has been in session for over a month now, and most kids and families have a full schedule of after-school activities. If somehow your kids don’t have something to do after school, why not sign them up for after-school karate classes at Premier Martial Arts? We offer karate and martial arts classes for kids of all ages and abilities, so whether or not your kids have taken classes before, we can fit them into our program.
Why sign your kids up for after-school karate classes? Here are some of the benefits of learning martial arts.
Meet Other Kids in a Fun Environment
Some kids are naturally outgoing and good at making friends. Others, however, need a little help. If you are new to the area or want to encourage your child to make new friends, a shared activity is the perfect opportunity. A small group of kids around the same age in one place and learning a skill together are more likely to bond and form lasting friendships than in a large school setting. Karate classes are also fun, and nothing helps kids befriend each other like having fun together.
Learn Respect and Responsibility
As parents, we do our best to teach our kids to be respectful and responsible, but it helps when other adults enforce those lessons. In karate, the focus is not just on learning certain moves but on learning to respect yourself and others. Karate is a discipline that requires kids to respect their instructors and fellow classmates to learn. Mastering karate also requires responsibility. Kids taking karate classes have to practice what they learn outside of class so they can be ready to move on and learn more.
Improve Physical and Mental Fitness
Karate is a great activity for kids who may be struggling with focus or self-confidence. It is a physical activity, so taking karate classes will improve kids’ physical fitness, but their mental fitness will improve as well. As kids master a new skill, they become more confident, which allows them to enter social situations and try new things with less anxiety. Karate is as much a mental exercise as a physical one. The mental acuity and focus kids learn from karate will also spread into other areas, most notably school.
