How Can Martial Arts Help Children?
​
They get regular exercise, gain more self-confidence and self-control and have fun. I coach the children that fighting is a last resort, and teach them how to stay out of trouble, read danger signs early and get them more street wise. The children listen to me on how to walk away from trouble instead of listening to their friends whose advice can often get them into trouble and on the wrong path. Getting children to understand early in their lives is vital. Waiting until they reach their teens is often too late.
