“Incredible Kids BJJ and Mixed Martial Arts Classes Not Only Teaches Kids How To Defend Themselves … But Gives Them The Skills They Need To Succeed In Life…”
From self-control, increased fitness and goal setting – Kids in our studio are transformed for the better. And parents couldn’t be happier.
Hello my name is Reuben Duran and I’m the chief instructor here at Raw Athletic’s MMA.
In my 15 years of teaching children the martial arts, this is what I often see after just a few months training…
Greater Self-Confidence
It has often been noticed by teachers, parents, and other adults in a child’s life that as they progress in our studio and gain more skills they will exude more self-confidence. As they progress through the belt colors you will see a more confident child. The changes in belt color will serve as a solid reminder of the accomplishment that the child has achieved, giving them the boost in self-esteem and self-confidence to further advance in other aspects of their life as well.
Bully Deterrent
A major social challenge that any child faces is the potential of dealing with bullies. Martial arts is something that can give a child a sense of empowerment and being able to stand up for themselves when they need to. Even more important, it will give them the boost in confidence that they need to deal with bullies more effectively. When a child shows more confidence they are a lot less likely to be picked on.
Perfect For ADHD Children
Children who have been diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) have problems with concentrating on certain tasks, whether they are mental or physical, for a long period of time. These children will also sometimes exhibit issues with self-control. Simply lecturing them will have little or no impact. Punishing them can sometimes lead them to being more disruptive, while also being less able to focus on tasks such as homework, because they lack the skills to deal with the problem. Martial arts can be a fun, effective way to get kids with ADHD to learn how they can focus and also channel their energy into tasks that are constructive.
Greater Respect for Others
Honor and respect are an important part of every lesson and our students are taught that it is important never to use martial arts for anything other than what is honorable. Even further, we don’t just focus on the win, but more of becoming an honorable person and overall self-improvement.
Better Listening Skills
Martial arts can help teach kids to be humble, learning from those who have more experience as part of a teaching situation. Children will often be motivated to improve, listen more closely and make sure that they follow all instructions precisely. This will then spill over into being a better listener at school and at home, along with a new-found respect for their elders.
Improved Fitness
Studies have shown that many children are overweight today, martial arts is an excellent way for them to exercise. The boost in exercise can help kids get into better shape and even limit the development of other health conditions like type 2 diabetes.
Enrolling your kid is a wonderful way for you to enrich your child’s life and also enjoy life-long benefits. Skills that your child will be able to carry along with them throughout the rest of their life.
