Does the karate teacher implant confidence in the student? What type of teaching program does the school offer? Make sure that the instructor shows you how the karate school programs introduce self esteem, have a positive effect on the child's self image, and show a student how to apply more self confidence in public situations.
As an example, Master teacher Jeff Ellis of Jeff Ellis International Karate Centers said "In martial arts training, we educate in groups, by rank. But each student is excelling at an individual pace. Then there will be an emphasis on every child motivated to develop themselves lacking the pressure of being compared 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 success and a dramatic raise in that child's self esteem."
But ensure that your youngster 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....all necessary values instilled through proper instruction at International Karate Centers.
Does the karate instructor teach self control? Ellis defines Self-Control as "a person doing what they are supposed to do, and only that".
Can the school teach a variety of abilties? Does it teach your youngster blocking, striking, kicking, punching, and self-defense? Can your young person enjoy the teaching? Are they engaged? Nearly all of this has to do with the quality of the trainer.
Does your son or daughter gain skills that will aid them in different areas? To illustrate, after many months of training in karate, is the child better able to be in command of their actions, control their temptations, and even make them improved students at school?
Ellis stated "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.
