IMPORTANCE OF KARATE-DO (MARTIAL ARTS) EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN SCHOOL.
Why should your child take Karate-Do lessons and training?
Ans. Learning and training in Karate-Do at our academy help the child not only to be able to defend him/herself but also prepare the child to face the future with confidence. We teach from the basics to highly advanced Karate techniques thereby ensuring a complete physical, mental and moral development in the practicing Karateka (Karate student). We have been also teaching kids from the age of 3 years and they are successfully performing many stage shows in their schools or competitions. We concentrate on the development of every student because every student is precious to us. We have many parents confessing that their kids performing brilliantly in their academic as well as sports and general life with the help of Karate-Do training. We arrange regularly KATA & KUMITE competitions for kids to encourage them and we are proud to have kids Karate-Do Champions in our club. We have the youngest BLACKBELT in our club who has attained the rank at the age of 10 years and he has been a winner of many Karate-Do championships. We promote kids for encouragement up to a certain level and do not give social, we are aware that the children have lots of energy, which should be used properly in their development. We have often seen that children imitate martial art films of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee or demonstrations of martial arts on television through various serials and cartoons. If a child shows an interest in martial arts there is a question that comes to one’s mind, which can be as follows
BENEFITS FOR CHILDREN FROM KARATE-DO TRAINING
DISCIPLINE: To achieve success and to learn in anything in life one requires great discipline and consistency for without it, it’s not possible to learn or progress in life or any art. Children’s reaction to discipline, in the beginning, is a little difficult but if they are encouraged then later they start developing self-discipline. Being self-disciplined helps the child to develop an ability to focus their mind on a task given which results in improving concentration. Many of our student’s parents can see an improvement in their children’s power of concentration.
PHYSICAL FITNESS: With Japan Karate-Do Nobukawa-Ha Shito-Ryu Kai-India (Japan Karate-Do Shito-Ryu International Renshikan) your child can enjoy regular exercise in a friendly and encouraging environment. Karate can also help improve a child’s coordination and flexibility. We are aware that a child’s body is still growing, and therefore their training is tailored so that there are no exercises that would be dangerous to their physical development.
SINCERITY AND DEDICATION: If a child is not disciplined then it is very difficult for him/her to be sincere and consistent towards any task given which results in switching from one activity to another till he finds the most comfortable and easy-going things. Discipline is the link and the chain connecting to sincerity and dedication.
CASUAL ATTITUDE. Not taking anything seriously and taking everything casually results in a “JACK OF ALL & MASTER OF NONE” syndrome. Working on your weaknesses and turning them into your strengths results in a strong and capable person and this can be achieved only by being consistent and taking the training seriously resulting in a person knowing his/her abilities and a way of extending them. Overcoming one’s weaknesses results in self-confidence.
THE WAY OF CONDUCT: Karate is a great way to help your child build respect, both for themselves and for the people around them. Students are encouraged to respect and look after each other, and they are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions, especially when training with a partner. The grading system encourages focus, as each child strives to attain their next grade. All our belts are earned through hard work, so when your child receives their next grade they will have gained something they can be truly proud of.
FUN ACTIVITY: As well as the positive physical and mental attributes our students must have fun whilst training. Karate is an enjoyable activity that gets children away from the television and computers and doing something more constructive whilst still having fun!
