Studying martial arts is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But, it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond the Martial Arts. Junior martial arts classes teach kids to control their movements and behavior, and they’ll learn social skills and interaction at the same time.

Why Martial Arts is Beneficial for you Kid

PHYSICAL COORDINATION, CONTROL AND FOCUS

Young children who learn martial arts 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 Martial Arts is something they’ll take home – and into the classroom. That’s why kids who study martial arts tend to be good students, too.

DEAL WITH FRUSTRATION AND LEARN GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP

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 martial arts is an individual sport, we cultivate an environment of supportive teamwork where students root for one another.

FROM CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TO CRUCIAL LIFE LESSONS

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.

My son started at IMA Nihon Karate Do USA in October and I can’t say enough about the amazing experience he has had in these 3 months! His confidence level has improved tremendously, he can focus on what is asked of him and he is having fun!!! He started off attending once a week and now he comes to all the classes and even goes early to help be a positive role model for the younger children! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IMA Nihon Karate Do! You won’t be disappointed!

Senpai Meilynn is a fantastic teacher who has integrated all of the martial arts knowledge he has accumulated over the years into effective training. He makes his classes fun while you learn more than you thought you could in an hour. If you are looking for the best teacher around, you have found him!

-Paul Kinchik

We as parents decided to have our daughter try karate. After meeting with Senpai Meilynn we decided his teaching style, skills and experience would be the best fit. Not only has my daughter gained extensive karate skills but most importantly she has gained self confidence. She is well equipped to stick up for herself in any situation and has the confidence that she can defend herself if she needed. I am forever grateful to IMA Nihon Karate Do!
