The Truth about Karate for Kids - Part 3
from: Paul M. Jerard Jr.Here are three more valuable life skills for children who study
Karate.
Attraction
Doesn't everyone want to feel appreciated, popular, and get some
recognition? Children need it even more that you do. This is why
a child, who has leadership, success, and social skills, will go
far among his or her peers. This is one more reason why a child
who studies Karate will avoid following the crowd and become a
trend setter.
How can a child be so self assured? It comes with inner
confidence, achievements, and enhanced athletic abilities. These
are all benefits that children gain from regular participation
in a Karate class.
Innovation and Creative Thinking
When teaching the children, in our North Providence martial arts
studio, I often emphasize the value of the words, "martial
artist." It is the art that really separates a martial artist
from the street fighter.
Otherwise, children would only learn self-defense skills, which
is a by product of Karate training, but they also have a moral
code. Many life skills are learned within martial arts classes.
Children in a Karate class should be encouraged to find
solutions that work for them.
Therefore, the young Karate student is not a clone of his or her
teacher. After the basics are accomplished, all Karate students
should use techniques that work for their mind and body. Karate
practitioners are not all "wired" in the same way.
As long as the basic foundations are followed, the child who
practices Karate should find independent solutions, just like
any other artist. I often compare this to music; and here is my
comparison, "I can give you the notes, and teach you songs, but
it is up to you to create your own songs."
Time Management
Children, who practice Karate, or any other martial art, learn
to be dressed on time, line up in formation, and remember to
bring their equipment. This is elementary to adults, but if your
child is slowing you down, Karate is a fantastic solution for
the child who needs to manage time a little better.
When this same child grows into adulthood, he or she will be
thankful for the lessons in time management, when going through
college, working at a job, or raising his or her own children.
When learning Karate, children also learn to prioritize the
important things in life and establish much better control over
time management. The co-worker, or college student, who is
habitually late, is rarely successful, and has always left
something important "on the back burner."
