Respect

One of the most important words in martial arts is respect. Students are taught to respect their instructors, each other, and themselves. Our instructors spend time in class discussing the importance of respecting school teachers and parents. Respect is often missing in many facets of today’s society. This is what separates The Dukes Martial Arts Youth Program from other sports. A child’s social behavior should be directly linked to his or her progression in the martial arts class. It’s not just about winning, Our Youth Program is about personal growth and becoming a better person.

Improve’s Health

Martial arts gets kids outdoors and into physical activities. Over time, this develops into a regular routine and that helps kids avoid obesity and other health conditions. The physical aspect of martial arts builds their strength and endurance, making your kids less likely to get sick.

Learn to Set Goals

If you’ve seen the colored Hapkido belts, Karate belts, and Judo belts then you might be familiar with the hierarchy of skills in martial arts schools. These belts help a student identify what rank they are, what skills they have to learn, and just how far they are from the top.

This belt system helps them to identify goals and form plans to achieve those goals. They understand that a blue belt is better than a white belt and the only way they’ll reach that rank is to master the current skills taught to them and to prove that they have mastered everything for their current level.

Goal setting plays a larger role in life, such as being able to set goals to save money, finish college, and get a good job. It all starts here in their childhood, while studying martial arts.

Kids Develop Better Self-Discipline

Kids will get hit during their training. It’s inevitable. They’ll get hit, thrown, and pushed a lot. They will win some sparring matches and they will a lot more. A child with no self-discipline will suddenly lash out and fight back with no honor but martial arts slowly eliminate that.

Self-discipline is a big part of martial arts because a child needs to learn to control themselves in situations so tempting to just fight back and hurt someone. Kids learn martial arts not to hurt but to defend and that essence is gained through continuous sessions at the dojo.

Boost Their Social Skills

Martial arts classes involve a lot of people working together to help one another get better. It’s like a brotherhood but it is the philosophy of the art that binds everyone like a family instead of a verbal oath. This kind of environment would do a lot of good for a child.

Kids can learn how to make friends, how to help each other, and to understand their limits with other people just by attending these classes.

Kids Get More Active

It’s time to get your kids away from the TV, away from their video games, and definitely away from the Internet. Too many kids are staying indoors eating junk food and wasting away on Facebook. Martial arts training is a great way to get them out of their coop and back into action.

Kids are spending so much time with their gadgets that the era of playing basketball and football outdoors is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Kids don’t even play out in the street together anymore. They just visit one kid’s house and sit around a TV and play video games.

Martial arts changes that. They have to interact physically with the other people.

Kids Martial Arts

Dukes Kids Martial Arts have been one of the best tools for teaching children of all ages to become more confident, disciplined and focused for over 2,000 years! Kids who learn Karate, Kung-Fu or Tae Kwon Do typically get better grades, have a higher self-esteem and have learned how to defend themselves, mentally and physically against a neighborhood or school bully.

Self-defense is the bare minimum your child will walk away with in our martial arts classes. Through setting goals and advancing through the martial arts ranking system - your child will develop ambition, drive and determination. Through practicing their moves, they'll learn discipline, and the value in hard work. And by paying attention in class, and respecting their instructors and fellow students, they'll learn patience, respect and courtesy.
