Why should you enroll your son or daughter in Martial Arts classes?

Kids learn life skills at Great White Martial Arts

Character development:  During each class, our instructor sits down with the kids and has a 5-10 minute mat chat about positive character traits such as focus, discipline, confidence, respect, or goal setting.  We then distribute handouts to reinforce the concepts and expect parents to discuss these topics with their kids.

Understanding how to deal with bullies:  Our students also learn how to deal effectively with bullying though our character development program. We teach them a comprehensive strategy which includes getting adults involved early, learning verbal techniques and finally controlling an adversary, if attacked. 

Improved Report Cards: Our curriculum is designed to teach children the importance of focus and discipline. Character traits, like focus and discipline, translate well from the martial arts into the classroom.  Focus is super important to students since it is so easy to become distracted by others.  Discipline is about working toward a goal.  The martial arts teach students these valuable skills which will in turn improve your child's grades.

Martial Arts Builds Healthy Kids: The martial arts is an excellent work-out. Your child will breath, eat and sleep better. Children who take martial arts classes are in better shape, make better decisions about food, and in general, learn to take care of themselves.

Self Confidence: The martial arts builds self-confidence though rewards such as a belt system.  Students may test after attending a set number of classes, earning character stars outside the martial arts school, and with the permission of the instructor.  Students are also encouraged to lightly spar with other students.  As they get better over time, their confidence grows and soon they realize that they can accomplish any goal in life.  

Self-Defense:  Although we mix proven martial arts techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Karate and Wrestling, our base martial art is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).  BJJ is a grappling art which has proven to be very effective in self defense situations.  The system uses leverage-based techniques and positioning rather than size and strength. It does not rely on punches or kicks which could injure other children and get your child into trouble.  Instead, our students learn to control an attacker until they give up
