How does Karate Build Self Esteem in Children?

Parents will often as me know the martial arts or karate can increase a child's self esteem. The answer is simpler than you might think! If thought properly, there is not other activities that will have the kind of positive effect on a child as a martial arts program. At the Peaceful Warriors' Martial Arts Institute we focus first on the development of the child. We are not concerned about competition or awards, we are focus on the development of your child, as well as teaching self defense techniques.

What is the key to this? Our belt system. Your child is taught to set both short term and long term goals, and when they start to realize these goals, self esteem and self confidence will soar! Let us show you just how effective this program is. Call now 519-566-6610 for Windsor and St. Clair Beach of 519-563-9668 for Belle River and book your 1st FREE introductory class.

How good is the martial arts for children?

I am always looking all across the internet for interesting
articles and information on the martial arts, and especially
the benefits to both children and adults who practice the
arts in one form or another.

If you follow this link, http://www.thepeacefulwarriors.org/wallstreet.jpg
you will find an article written in the Wall Street Journal several years ago.

I hope you enjoy it!

What if my child wants to quit?

There will come a time when your child says; "I'm too tired to go
to class today." This is a critical point in a child's training.
This is when you help teach them about follow-through and the
never-quit attitude.
Don't be concerned about "pushing it on your child." Children
wouldn't go to school, brush their teeth or clean their room if you
didn't "push it on them." There's a big difference between helping
a child follow through on a goal they agreed to and force-feeding
something on a child.

One good strategy taught by the The Peaceful Warriors' Martial Arts
is to make sure your child is doing something less interesting to
him/her prior to going to martial arts class. For instance, a child
doing homework or chores will usually jump at the chance to leave
that and go to class. On the other hand, a child playing video
games may not want to stop shooting aliens on the screen to go to
class.

When you begin the classes, agree with your child on some
short-term goals such as green belt or red belt with the
understanding that there will be no quitting until the goal is
achieved. The real goal in the training will be black belt, but
until you've had a chance to really understand what it takes to
earn a black belt, it's best to set a more reachable initial goal.
Once you've determined that black belt is your goal, commit to it
with full enthusiasm.
However, it's unrealistic to expect a child not to, at some point,
rebel against the effort. This is natural and is part of the
process of learning. Quitting can quickly become a bad habit.
Facing these types of challenges is part of the training inherent
in the martial arts.

How old should your child be to start Karate?

While the martial arts is an enjoyable and very
worthwhile activityfor children, it's important
to recognize that progress will takeconsistent class
attendance, some practice and support from the
family (kids can't drive themselves to class).

How early to start a child really depends on the
individual child and their level of interest and
maturity. Many professional schools have age
specific classes and curriculum programs for children
as young four, five or six years old. These programs
are very popular and can be a great way for a child to
learn concentration, self-control and start to develop
more coordination.

Programs for children of this age usually are less
demanding than mainstream martial arts programs
and bypass much of the serious self-defense training in
favor of more age appropriate and fun activities.

What Parents Are Saying

Listen to what other parents are saying about
The Peaceful Warriors'!

"Dear Master Mason,

I would like to take this opportunity to express
my appreciation and gratitude to you personally and
to The Peaceful Warriors Martial Arts Institute for
the excellent job you are doing in training my sons
Kasper and Philip to be the true Peaceful Warriors.

Ever since my older son joined two years ago, I have
noticed tremendous positive influence the Peaceful
Warriors had on him, not only physically he became
stronger, more agile and fit, but also on his attitude
towards others as he became more courteous and
considerate. And my younger son just could not wait
his turn to be able to join. Now both of them enjoy
the superior program that you offer.

What convinced me to sign up my sons to The Peaceful
Warriors in the first place, was the message conveyed
in The Peaceful Warriors Mission Statement and just
one trial lesson Kasper attended. I realized right away
that here he could find just the right training: in martial
art of Tae Kwon Do, realistic self defence, and also in
social skills, without the stress of competition. And I was
not disappointed in my expectations.

Let me also stress something else I find exceptional and
extraordinary. The Peaceful Warriors Martial Arts Institute
not only provides most professional and dedicated training
in the martial arts field, but is also an organization which
is active in the community. By organizing social events,
charity actions, children get-togethers it simply makes us
feel like a big Peaceful Warriors family.

I would like to end by saying this: Keep up the outstanding
work Peaceful Warriors, your service is a real benefit to
both members and community ."
Tom Klimski - Father of Kasper and Phillip

So, why are you waiting? Still not convinced?

A Testimonial from the DeBortoli Family
The Peaceful Warriors has been a tremendous influence on
our lives. It has given the kids and I a chance to participate
in an activity together as a family. The self-confidence and
physical fitness is just one of the benefits we have all enjoyed.
I can see a difference in the way the kids behave at home, school
and in class. Their enthusiasm and love for Tae Kwon Do are
evident by the big smiles they display in class and in their
excitement to get to class. We have never been in an activity
before where we could all participate and that it wasn't a struggle
to maintain an interest. Since we joined over a year ago it has
never been difficult to get the kids motivated to go to class and
a lot of the time they ask to pick up extra classes.
The instructor s and staff of the Peaceful Warriors always go above
and beyond what is required by them and genuinely love to see the
children start to take responsibility for themselves and others in
their class. It is evident when you watch a class that the kids
are having fun but at the same time they are learning important
life lessons through quotes of the day and discussions at the end
of class. All the children are encouraged to participate and to
help out in class but are not pushed until they are ready to
volunteer themselves. The children are not centered out when
they do something wrong and the instructors always find something
positive to say to motivate those who are struggling to learn
something new.
-- Mom -- Judy
"The Peaceful Warriors has made me more self-confident because
they give me responsibilities in class such as leading the
exercises and teaching lower belts. Tae Kwon Do is fun, you
get to make new friends."
--Marissa --age 11
"The Peaceful Warriors is great because it is good exercise and
it is all year long not just in the summer like soccer. It is
also lots and lots of fun and the instructors are cool. I also
like the self-defense and learning Korean."
--Marco--age 9
"I like the Peaceful Warriors because it is teaching me how
to focus and helping me to concentrate on something besides
Nintendo. We get lots of exercise to make us strong. I also
like to play the games and sparring is cool."
--Luciano--age 7

Martial Arts or Karate lowers aggression in children

There is no better way to find out if a martial arts education is right
for your child then to talk with other parents who's children are
involved. So here is another success story of two children, both
Peaceful Warrirors' and how the arts have impacted and changed
their lives for the positive!

"My sons have always been what you would call a 'handful', premature
babies often are. My one son had been suspended in grade1,
several times, for hands on. For six years I brought them to all
the age appropriate agencies within the city for some kind of help for
them. Some progress was made, but it was very limited.

Then about 4 years ago, my sons were about six, someone had
recommended martial arts to me. I thought "Are you crazy?
You actually want me to give my kid the ability to beat someone up?
I can see it now, he is going to be expelled from school in the
second grade. No way! It's not going to happen." That was my
attitute for the next couple of years, all the while still trying to get
them the help they needed and deserved. My point of view changed
when I heard a story of a child who was like mine and how The
Peaceful Warriors' helped him to be able to overcome his anger and
agression at school. I has to check things out for myself, so I did.
I brought the boys there to see what they did and one son thought it
was a license to kill. This worried me, but the way the children are
taught is about self defense and discipline.

It is not about beating people up. This was something they very
quickly learned and that attitude would not be tolerated. Soon
the worry about my son being expelled from school was a distant
memory. They are doing much better, socially, in school and the
hands on incidents have not been an issue.

If your children are having a difficult time in school or at home the
masters are there to listen and help with the problem. If they can
they will present the situation to the class and use it as a lesson for
the rest of the class without belittleing anyone. It is done with the
upmost respect for the child and parents involved.

As a parent I would recommend The Peaceful Warriors' Martial
Arts Institute to anyone who cares about his or her child."
