Martial arts benefits children by Nancy Robinson, Martial Arts Examiner There are many benefits of martial arts Here are three strong reasons why martial arts training is great for children. Problem: According to national statistics, approximately 30% of youngsters in the United States are involved in bullying behaviors – either as target or perpetrator. Bullies themselves tend to suffer from poor social skills and lack of discipline. Those being bullied often suffer from low self-esteem and personal insecurities that make them easy to pick on. Solution: Martial arts empowers children and provides the structure, discipline, confidence and self-esteem building skills required for children to succeed in school, on the playground and in life. The inner strength they develop will help them avoid negative behaviors. Problem: According to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center, there is a close relationship between teens who use drugs or alcohol and those who are exposed to violent situations. One national 2007 survey of high schoolers revealed that at least 45% had engaged in drinking alcohol over a 30 day period. Solution: Martial arts teaches the “clean body, clean mind” philosophy. Doing the right thing for yourself and others is not just suggested among true martial artists, it is required. Any reputable school will encourage students to live healthy, honorable lives. This includes teaching teens to avoid using alchohol or drugs by substituting positive behaviors and exercise. Problem: The American Heart Association reports that in the United States , “more than nine million children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 16 years are considered overweight”. See the report at www.americanheart.org <http://www.americanheart.org/> . Solution: Unlike seasonal sports, martial arts schools provide ongoing fitness programs that encourage muscle-building, fat-trimming, heart healthy activity for the ever-growing numbers of couch-potato youth. |
