WHY MARTIAL ARTS?
Martial arts and swimming are the number one sports for coordination, focus and development skills.
In addition, the beauty of strong and impressive movements, mind-body alignment, culture and respect, fitness, accomplishments, and relationships are some of the widely known benefits of Martial Arts.
MARTIAL ARTS KIDS
Martial Arts are more than just a physical activity for kids. Through a focus on individual growth, emphasis on self-control, concentration, and concrete, attainable goals at each child’s pace, these ancient arts help enhance kids’ self-confidence, attention, and other executive functioning skills.
Empower Your Child Against Bullying!
Martial arts kids learn how to be safe from bullies and other social predators. When practicing martial arts, kids are basically role-playing various self-defense scenarios. In time, the students can recall and instinctively respond if they find themselves in dangerous situations.
Body Language
Martial Arts are more than just a physical activity for kids. Through a focus on individual growth, emphasis on self-control, concentration, and concrete, attainable goals at each child’s pace, these ancient arts help enhance kids’ self-confidence, attention, and other executive functioning skills.
Defense
Practicing the authentic philosophy of martial arts, we at Lightning Fist Academy do not promote the use of violence. However, having the self-defense skills, and understanding when it would be appropriate to employ them, are take away life skills and leadership lessons that will bolster confidence throughout the martial art kid’s life.
The traditional martial arts stance thought at Lightning Fist Academy is body straight, eyes focused and feet firmly on the ground. Developed over time, this stance exudes confidence and an air of composure deflecting threats from bullies.
