10 REASONS MARTIAL ARTS BENEFITS KIDS

Fostering Self-Discipline – One of the central tenets of all forms of the martial arts is an absolute focus on self-discipline. Today’s kids are so accustomed to receiving instant gratification that lessons in self-restraint and discipline aren’t always easy to come by. Kids with a martial arts background, however, are continually reminded of how essential self-discipline is. Boosting Socialization Skills – Kids who don’t always thrive in highly social environments may find it easier to get to know people and make new friends when they’re in a room filled with peers who share a common interest. The kids on the playground may not always have much common ground, but devotees to the martial arts are able to get to know one another through shared pursuits. Partner-driven forms like jiu jitsu can also foster camaraderie, as they force kids to pair off and build their skills together. Encouraging Physical Activity – Limiting screen time is a great idea when it comes to getting kids off the couch and encouraging them to be more active, but it only goes so far. Enrolling an inactive child in such a physically demanding pastime not only discourages the sedentary lifestyle she’s used to, but also gives her an enjoyable activity that inspires her to keep moving. Learning to Set and Achieve Goals – Most forms of martial arts are based around an accomplishment system of colored belts that...

Martial Arts for ADHD Children: Improve Self-Esteem, Focus, and Coordination

A martial arts instructor explains the many mental health benefits ADHD children experience when participating in this kind of sport. by Melinda Boring Martial arts teacher Rodger Pyle was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) as a child, but he didn’t let it hold him back. “The public school didn’t know how to channel my energy, but I knew I could learn. I needed direction,” he says. Pyle found direction in martial arts. It gave him the confidence to work toward his goals. Today, at the USA Seibukan Martial Arts Training Center, in Columbus, Ohio, he helps kids with ADD/ADHD achieve success. “My job is to look beyond a student’s diagnosis and find ways to motivate him while playing up his strengths,” says Pyle. Pyle knows from personal and professional experience that, with direction, students with ADD/ADHD can achieve exceptional results. ADD/ADHD-Friendly Instruction “I tell my instructors that they can’t just do what’s easiest for them, they must do what’s best for the student,” he says. Pyle incorporates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic cues into his instruction, and keeps his directions and demonstrations short. When a child is distracted, Pyle redirects him by having him show a “ready stance.” The rapid pace of the classes — and the moves practiced — keep students alert and focused. Studies show that a complex physical activity, like martial arts, strengthens neural networks...
