KARATE

Activities such as Karate, Kung Fu, Judo, Aikido, etc. are a fun way for both boys and girls to achieve fitness and focus. Some parents may think they also promote violence, but that’s just a myth, according to experts. The Martial Arts actually help teach self-discipline and socialization skills. In this age of technology and electronics, children are spending longer hours playing video game and browsing the internet and less time for exercise and therefore there would be an increase in unfit and overweight children and while there are many benefits in the technology and internet there are more benefits in stillness and silence. At some juncture in life, every one of us comes to learn that the greatest obstacle we face in this life time is ourselves. That battle is fought in the stillness of our hearts and the willingness to confront ourselves. As a martial artist your child will learn how to be still, challenged and focused.
