Would you like to improve
your child's powers of concentration, boost their self
confidence AND increase their physical fitness?
It may sound a bit too good to
be true, but martial arts classes can lead to a marked
improvement in all these areas and so many more! They can help
control and channel energies - something for which many
young people struggle to find a safe outlet nowadays. Unlike
other sports, martial arts is a lifestyle training
focused on whole child development - mentally, physically
and emotionally, providing your child with the tools
they need to be a success in life!

At KB Kids, we endeavour to
enable your child to create a balanced and healthy state
of mind, body and spirit. The Martial
Arts teach many lessons, which include goal setting,
persistence, and the value of a positive attitude.
Here is a summary of all the
benefits that the practice of martial arts can offer:
Spiritual Benefits
> Increases self-confidence
- the practice of martial arts is character building, it
encourages students to stand up to peer group
pressure.
> Engenders a sense of
achievement/a positive 'self image' - as each student moves to the next belt, a
profound sense of accomplishment is experienced.
Setting targets and achieving them are highly beneficial
throughout life.
> Improves attention
span/ability to focus
> Improves
social skills and interaction with others
> Increases
self-discipline
> Develops a love for
learning
> Develops a sense of
independence
> Instills
respect of oneself and of other human beings - this is one of the
core values of Martial Arts. Every class begins
and ends with a bow.

Physical Benefits
> Increases
your child's level of fitness and flexibility - the high
energy cardio work out helps shifts excess weight.
> Improves balance
> Improves strength -
although our students are reminded constantly NEVER to
use their techniques outside of the dojo, not unless it
is a last resort and they are in imminent danger - only
then can effective but simple self defence techniques be
used
> Improves
overall energy levels
> Improves co-ordination and
stamina -
our students are able to develop mental and physical
co-ordination.
> Teaches
avoidance and
awareness, and self defence
Over time, our lessons can help
improve behavioural issues. Ultimately our classes
are a safe, wholesome and rewarding extra curricular
activity that occupies some of our students' free time.
