Another benefit of martial arts is the development of mental discipline and focus. The training requires concentration and attention to detail, which can improve cognitive skills such as memory and problem-solving.
Our kids martial arts program is designed to provide a fun and interactive learning experience for children of all ages and skill levels. Our classes are taught by experienced and certified instructors who are dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential.
Sparring and Self-Defense: Sparring is an important part of most martial arts programs, as it allows students to practice their techniques in a controlled and safe environment. This portion of the program may also include training in self-defense techniques, such as how to escape holds or defend against an attacker.
A specific part of our preschool and kids martial arts classes at Jason Wadley’s Taekwondo is teaching respect, and teaching when to use their new self defense training and when to NOT use them. We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies. And have more humility and kindness to others through their martial arts lessons.
We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better join into some of our martial arts classes for adults. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond! Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’? Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!
