How Your Child Can Benefit From Martial Arts?

Martial Arts is a total learning activity. Lessons are tailored to your child's age and skill level. Your child begins by practicing basic patterns and forms, board breaking, kicking, blocking, striking, and punching. These fundamental skills increase your child's physical coordination, flexibility, balance, and mental acumen.

Martial Arts develops your child's athletic abilities and self-awareness, and improves the child's capabilities in self-defense.

Self-Discipline and Self Esteem for Your Child

Martial Arts emphasizes moral development as well. Children learn respect for themselves and others, heightened concentration, and increased self-discipline and self-restraint.

The self-discipline that develops as a result of learning and practicing the techniques usually carries over into other areas of the child's life. School grades often improve as your child learns to focus on objectives and to work toward achievement. The self-discipline and self-resect which Martial Arts develops can provide your child with the skills and mindset necessary to resist peer pressure.

Let your child experience the benefits of Twin City Martial Arts.

Response from a Three Year Student

Why study the Martial Arts? I can't imagine why not! It's great exercise, I'm more coordinated, I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and many comment that I look younger. My pulse rate has dropped 20 beats per minute, I'm more energetic and calm. I've gained the self-confidence to know I can overcome anything.

Grandmaster Rho has helped me gain all this, and much more. He has given me the ability to stand strong in the face of any situation by the development of a positive mental attitude.

Classes for Children

We specialize in teaching children starting at age 3 with our Tiny Tiger Program. Our intention is to make children feel good about themselves, and be in physical and mental control. Our teaching methods are sensitively tailored to meet the needs of individual learning differences. All children are taught at their own pace and are never pressured to perform beyond their capabilities

In some cases, our school may provide child therapy. For example, from the self-confidence gained learning how to defend themselves, a shy, withdrawn child may become more outgoing and confident, while an aggressive child will become calm and respectful of others. Parents are truly amazed at the positive difference in attitude child develops after beginning classes at Twin City Martial Arts. A child can walk proud with head held high. Each student learns to say "Yes I can' in life."

Families and the Martial Arts

It is one of the most beautiful things in the world to watch parents and children training side by side. Parents glow at their children's accomplishments like the execution of a good side kick, or the breaking of their first board. The greater satisfaction, however, comes the bond of love, friendship, understanding and respect that develops between parent and child. Both parents and children share in each others hardships and accomplishments. Parents feel younger, healthier, and greatly fulfilled, and their children become more mature, confident, and well- behaved. Families in the Martial Arts are very fortunate indeed!
