Young children who learn Kenpo Karate find out quickly that each movement must be intentional. They learn to control their movements to the best of their ability. They also practice Hand-Eye Coordination and learn about their bodies. That means they’ll be less likely to be unintentionally destructive. Getting young kids to pay attention can feel like an impossible task. The structure of our martial arts classes shows kids the Importance of Focus and teaches them by having them apply it to easily achievable tasks. The focus they learn in the Kenpo Karate is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.

Martial arts instruction requires students to pursue goals to earn new belts. Young kids can easily become frustrated when they don’t get what they want, but studying martial arts helps them learn the Power of Persistence. The physical activity in our classes also helps kids manage stress and anxiety by allowing them to burn it off in a safe and constructive way. Losing is not anybody’s idea of fun, but we all need to learn how to accept a defeat gracefully and move on. We teach students that losing is part of life – and it’s what you do after you lose that tells people who you are. Even though Karate is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of Supportive Teamwork where students root for one another.

We understand the difficulties parents face in raising a child and design lessons to target these challenges. We’ve dealt with it all here and believe that the secret to your child’s development is a mix of rewarding physical activity and a focus on instilling essential life lessons. Through psychology, eastern wisdom practiced for generations, and patience, we help kids reach new heights of development. Rest assured knowing your child isn’t just benefiting from a fun physical activity, they’re also building skills such as Focus, Discipline, Respect, Empathy, Confidence, and more through their training.
