Karate Kidz™ (ages 7 - 12):

It’s no secret that the school system today is lacking in important areas of education and is more dangerous than ever. That’s why millions of parents are adding martial arts to their children’s education. We specialize in helping children uncover their true potential and develop their self-confidence in the face of mounting peer pressure.

Carleton University, in a study reported in Psychology Today, found that children in martial arts have: a higher sense of self-esteem; a higher level of social intelligence; lower levels of anxiety; an increased sense of responsibility; a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks; and were less likely to be radical. Parents report these five important benefits for their children in our school experience:

1. Our reward system improves children's self-esteem

Martial arts are not like team sports because the emphasis is on developing the individual's self-esteem – not the team’s winning record. The belt system is the key. When kids earn their belts, it gives them a great sense of accomplishment that really improves the way they feel about themselves.

2. Our program teaches children discipline

One of the things parents appreciate most about our classes is the improvement in their child’s self-discipline. We have a wonderful staff of patient instructors who love to work with children, but are also very clear about limits. We enforce good rules of behavior in class, and we expect the same good behavior at home and in school.

3. Our activities channel children's aggression

Many doctors actually prescribed our school for treatment because of the positive outlet it gives the kids for all their energy.

4. Our confidence classes enhance children's self-esteem

We believe confidence is one of the most important things we can give kids. That’s why every class we teach has confidence-building drills included.

5. Our program teaches children essential self-defense skills

Our program teaches practical, proven self-defense methods. We also teach the kids that the moves they learn in class will work, so they don’t go home and try them on their brother or sister or neighbor.

This course was designed specially for children ages 7 to 12-years old. We realize that children this age have specific characteristics that differ from children younger and older than them. They are sharper and more focused than children 6 and under; however, they are still not quite ready to face the same challenges presented to teens. Although some children between the ages of 7 & 12 can keep up with older children, and in some cases, surpass them, the average 7 to 12-year old can benefit from a more specific type of training that will help them develop the best; physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

In this program, your child will learn and grow in a process that accommodates their skills and abilities. They will train with other children in their age group, and not have to be distracted by younger or older classmates. This means that their training will not be slowed down due to the learning abilities of a younger child; and it will not be sped up to keep up with the capabilities of a pre-teen. This means better, more functional classes designed just for them. Your child will feel comfortable and more capable of achieving excellence. They are at an age where the more special they feel, the harder they will try. If this is the first program that your child has participated in, then this is their first step to conquering many goals. And if this is not the first program, then they are even closer to excellence.

With your ongoing support, you will help your child lead himself/herself into the future with a positive attitude. Their commitment and concentration must always have your encouragement and guidance. As a team, we will be reshaping our community one child at a time.

If you’d like your children’s education to expand to include self-confidence, self-control, focus and concentration, then give us a call today at (914) 738-7700.
