What is Martial Arts & What Benefits Does Training Have for Kids?
Posted: February 06, 2023
Martial arts is a sport that can benefit children in a variety of ways. With its focus on physical fitness, discipline, and respect, martial arts can help children develop important life skills that will stay with them long after they leave the dojo. If you're looking for a way to help your child develop their potential, martial arts could be a great option.
One of the key benefits of martial arts for children aged 7 to 12 years old is physical fitness. This age range is crucial in terms of children's physical development, and martial arts can help them build strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. Martial arts is a full-body workout that will challenge your child in ways they may not have been challenged before. The physical benefits of martial arts go beyond just strength and endurance, however. Martial arts can also help children develop better balance, coordination, and reflexes. These skills can be useful in many areas of life, from playing sports to simply avoiding accidents.
Another important benefit of martial arts for children is discipline. Martial arts is a sport that requires focus, dedication, and hard work. Children will learn to set goals for themselves and work towards achieving them. The discipline that they learn in martial arts will not only help them in their training, but also in their daily lives. Whether it's staying focused on schoolwork or completing household chores, the discipline they learn in martial arts will help them be more successful in everything they do.

1. Encourage Interests
It is sometimes easy to want certain activities to become important to your kids, if they are important to you. (I love football and I want my child to play on a team.) There can also be an unspoken expectation that you do not want certain interests to become part of your child’s life. (I do not want my child to become a gymnast.) In order to allow your child to develop passion and drive for something, as little rules for what is acceptable as possible should be the goal. This includes gender role rules – girls can’t play football and boys can’t be a dancer. The more a child embraces something, the more they learn who they can be and what they want to accomplish. The more they understand themselves, the more they learn about how capable they are.
2. Demonstrate Respect
