The Positive Effects of Martial Arts for a Child in School

Grade school can be quite an experience for any child. It is a place where a child not only learns academically but also learns to socialize and function in the world. Unfortunately, there are a lot of negative experiences that a child may have when going through school. Whatever those experiences may be, it would be a good idea to have a child participate in martial arts classes. Doing so will give them the tools they need to survive the school experience. The benefits associated with taking martial arts classes are essential for them to have a positive experience in school.

Martial Arts Helps Children Earn Better Grades in School

Getting good grades is reflective of a child’s comprehension of the material. Furthermore, good grades are indicative of their discipline and responsibility traits. Through martial arts, students learn the fundamentals of stretching and physical routines. They also learn to become disciplined with practice and keep up with the cleanliness of their uniforms. Children learn how to be punctual and can focus their daily thoughts on the tasks at hand. Thus, being able to exhibit these positive traits will translate to better grades, as schooling requires proficiency in these characteristics.

Martial Arts Gives Children The Confidence to Stand Up to Bullies

Bullying is a very prominent and unfortunate experience that many children will either witness or become victims of in their lifetimes. Being a part of a supportive martial arts community can give children the strength and confidence that they need to stand up to these negative individuals. Not only will they learn about self-defense strategies, they will also be able to feel assertive and courageous. Possessing self-confidence is the number one way for a child to be able to stand up for himself or herself in any threatening situation. Through martial arts, they will learn that not all conflicts have to be physical. They will possess the mature mindset to tackle any conflict with assurance and pride.

Martial Arts Gives Children the Ability to Make Friends

Having friends and keeping them can be the difference between a positive and negative school experience for children. They will latch onto people who share common interests with them and feel devastated when those relationships disappear. However, for children who regularly practice martial arts, they have a different capacity to make and keep friends in their circle. Besides making friends in the martial arts classes themselves, children are able to easily socialize and collaborate with other students at school. They instill a lot of the same discipline and traits they learn from martial arts in their everyday lives. For instance, they may be the first to initiate a conversation with quiet students because they feel confident in themselves to do so.

Being a part of something special, such as martial arts training, can be greatly impactful for children. Especially when it comes to school, children can gain invaluable skills and behaviors that will allow them to have more successful experiences in social settings. Although school is meant to teach them about a variety of things, having martial arts as a supplement can significantly affect the way they approach schooling and their overall experiences.

Early SKILLZ
Preschool - Kindergarten

3–4 year-olds are naturally curious. They might not be ready for the rigid structure of a traditional martial arts class ... but they do need to start learning about appropriate social behavior!

Basic SKILLZ
1st Grade - 3rd Grade

It's often easy for teachers and parents to overestimate 5-6 year old children. They're better at following directions and paying attention than younger children, but they still need some help controlling themselves and focusing on tasks.

Core SKILLZ
3rd Grade - 5th Grade

Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily - far more easily than we do as adults. Not only are they getting healthier as they learn martial arts, but they're also learning the value of self-discipline and respect.
