WHY SHOULD MY CHILD JOIN A MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAMME?
Has your child ever been the victim of bullying? Have you ever had to visit your school’s head teacher because of your child’s bad behaviour? Does your child have difficulty doing homework on time or completing chores at home? Do you ever feel your child is out of control? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then both you and your child stand to benefit greatly from enrolling him/her on a Martial Arts programme.

HOW CAN A MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAMME OVERCOME THESE PROBLEMS?
The key to any form of child-based training is being CONSTRUCTIVE. We do not want to demolish your child’s character and present you with an obedient clone. We want to work with your child’s own natural talents and personality to bring out the best s/he can possibly become. We do this by reinforcing the positive and helping your child see the futility of bad behaviour. For example, a bossy, domineering child is a handful to manage both at home and at school, and it may be tempting for some to yell and punish him for this behaviour. What does this achieve? A resentful and/or frightened child, who is even less likely to respond to guidance. By highlighting the prestige to be gained by good behaviour we can induce a desire in your child to behave well… which is a more lasting trait than that which results from forced modes of behaviour. We want to develop in children a DESIRE to excel, both at Martial Arts and at school.

We achieve this by following the 5 main objectives of the programme, which are:

• To provide a safe, fun environment in which children can develop good quality skills
• To encourage natural talent, a positive attitude and team player/leadership qualities
• To develop the maximal extent of their physical and communicative abilities
• To increase their self confidence and discipline
• To enable children to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment

In a nutshell: we help your child fulfil his or her potential by giving them a standard to aim for… a standard we call ‘The Black Belt Attitude’, which is the ultimate realisation of the behaviour we reinforce at the Academy.

"The Black Belt Attitude"

• I will work hard every day, to be the best I can be
• I will respect my instructors and fellow students at ALL times
• I will help others by sharing what I know and being kind
• I will train my mind as well as my body, by working hard at school
• I will apply the black belt attitude at home as well as in class
• I will not use Martial Arts to hurt or bully others
• I will not use foul language or disrespect anyone’s religion and race
• I will not judge anyone else’s ability… but concentrate on my own training
• I will not let my parents and teachers down by being lazy and unhelpful
• I will not give up when things get tough… I will work harder!

We can come to your home to give you a free Introductory Lesson or you can book an appointment and come see a class in action.
