Our Martial Arts classes for children are designed to challenge your kids by teaching them the core values of martial arts training. Core values are respect, self-control, and self-discipline. They will also benefit from improving their overall fitness levels in all areas. Children need to be taught how to push and challenge themselves to become successful and at The Dojo they will develop that “never give up” winning spirit. There are two wonderful arts that are taught at our school; Uechi Ryu (a traditional Okinawan karate) and Jujutsu (a style that uses skills of balance disruption and leverage to gain an advantage over an attacker). These arts will teach them not only how to defend themselves, but when and when not to use these great skills. They learn that there is a great responsibility in having these abilities and not to misuse their techniques.
How to avoid Bullies Once kids learn how to defend themselves they usually never will have to. They will carry themselves with confidence, which will make them less apt to be a target for bullies. Confidence is the greatest deterrent to being a bully magnet. When a child develops confidence in themselves through martial arts training, it was earned and not falsely given.
