Could the martial arts trainer implant self-assurance in the student? What type of learning program does the karate school propose?
Ensure that the teacher shows you how the karate school learning program instill self assurance, have a certain effect on the child's self image, and show a student how to apply more self control in social situations.
As an example, Master teacher Jeff Ellis of Jeff Ellis International Karate Centers in Strongsville Ohio said "In martial arts instruction, we educate in groups, based on rank. Nevertheless each student is excelling at an individual pace. Also there is certainly an emphasis on each student motivated to develop themselves without the pressure of being in comparison to someone else."
Ellis went on to say "When the student moves to another belt level, they know they did it by themselves. The result is a feeling of achievement and a dramatic raise in that student's self esteem."
In what way is Self-defense training dissimilar from basketball or other activities that children swiftly lose interest in? Martial arts instruction offers built in rewards in the form of belt degrees. This provides the student a feeling of attainment, not found in other sporting events. These belts also show the fellow students, at a glance, how far the student has progressed. These belt promotions are looked foreward to, and are a goal in themselves.
However make certain your son or daughter isn't alone in their efforts. When questioned about this, Ellis said "Our students are working together to achieve their common goals by helping each other with courtesy, politeness, and cooperation.
Can the karate teacher teach self control? Ellis defines Self-Control as "a person doing what they are supposed to do, and only that".
Does the karate school teach a diversity of skills? Does it teach your son or daughter blocking, striking, kicking, punching, and self-defense? Will your child enjoy the teaching? Are they engaged? Most of this has to do with the quality of the trainer.
Does your son or daughter study skills that will help them in additional areas? For instance, following some months of training in karate, is the student better able to manage their actions, manage their temptations, and even make them improved students at school?
Ellis said "Once the student knows they can defend themselves from a bully, they have a choice...and the confidence...to walk away and feel good about that decision. These life skills can even help an adult in their workplace. A confrontation may not be physical, but the situation could provide pressure in a variety of ways. The confidence and control gained through traditional karate practice will give that person the ability to better deal with any situation...at home...at school...and at their workplace.
