Just like with adults, one of the most common reasons for enrolling a child into a martial arts class is fitness.
Childhood obesity rates are climbing, and more and more children are spending a lot more time in front of the television, playing video games, and using a computer. However, even among more active children, martial arts are still attractive since it is seen as a very good source of exercise that also teaches skills. Martial arts can help improve cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, balance, strength, and overall energy levels.
Another popular reason for enrolling children in martial arts is to develop “life skills”. These skills include discipline, self-control, patience, confidence, courage, etc. The idea with these classes and this motivation is to reinforce what is already being taught at home. Martial arts classes can be a valuable tool for helping to really drive home the points you make at home in a very real way.
Self-defense is the most obvious reason that should come to mind when considering enrolling a child in martial arts. The focus of a good children’s martial arts class, while still teaching self-defense movements, should be on conflict resolution, personal responsibility, and avoidance. In that respect, attending a good martial arts class would benefit both the bully by teaching to respect others as well as your own power, and the bullied, by teaching how to calm a situation or defend oneself if need be.
