5 Reasons Why Children Must Learn Karate

1. They will build Self-Confidence

Karate is the perfect training environment for children to build confidence and self-esteem. Even though karate does not condone violence, it does teach children to defend themselves in the event they are attacked. This empowers children who don’t have a lot of confidence, and may even be the target of schoolyard bullies.
We find that nothing is more important to a child’s development than having a healthy self esteem. There is no price that a parent would put on this one major skill set that sets the solid foundation for life.

2. They will develop Resilience

Kids Karate training develops resilience by helping children overcome set backs and accept and take on new challenges. They develop skills to understand the difference between failing and giving up. Regular karate training puts students under a learning environment and a major part of learning is growing through trying new things. This builds mental toughness. The dojo (training hall) is a place where we are encouraged to try new skills, knowing that we must be prepared to make mistakes and appreciate that there is no progress without first trying and even making mistakes. We can only learn through making mistakes, the the dojo is that safe place that children can learn to build new skills, and overcome set backs, and become more resilient individuals.

3. They will develop Persistence

Karate training develops a ‘never give up’ attitude. Children that do karate learn to set a task or goal, and focus on its achievement until it is realised. Persistence is such a valuable life skill that can translate into school work, community participation, and of course lead onto far greater outcomes after the child leaves school to enter the work force. This is especially relevant in karate training with how the grading system has been set up. Every belt achieved is a new level of growth on a child’s karate journey. It takes setting the goal, understanding what it will take to reach it, and having the discipline and motivation to stay on track, to stay focused, and take action in the pursuit of the goal.

4. They will develop Independent Thinking

When a child has confidence in themselves, they know who they are, what they value, and what they will stand for. Karate Kids will be a lot less susceptible to peer pressure, especially when it involves negative thinking and activity that they know is not going to be helpful. They will develop a ‘follow the herd’ mentality. Children who are mentally tough are more inclined to make their own good choices.

5. They will develop a Happy Positive Disposition

Above all, regular Karate training will provide children a sense of inner peace, a positive attitude and will generally have a much happier disposition. Feeling good about themselves, having a positive mental attitude, a quiet yet resounding confidence, all combined will provide a healthy outlook. Small issues will remain small. Larger challenges will be looked at with a stronger mind set ,and challenges will be accepted with a greater sense of bravery and courage.

    Coming to Goshukan has been the best decision for my daughter. She really needed to focus on her health and wellbeing as well as her confidence.... Since starting at the Academy she has completely transformed her outlook and holds herself … More with so much more self certainty and has goals that she is reaching in a supportive, welcoming, knowledgeable, disciplined yet friendly environment. All of the instructors are incredible and I can't wait to start classes myself now.. thankyou Goshukan!

    I joined Goshukan Karate two months ago, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From day one, I’ve been welcomed warmly by the instructors and the community. The teaching is highly professional, and the instructors are not only … More friendly but also ensure that discipline and decorum are always maintained.
    The techniques taught are very realistic and so useful in real life.
    The place is clean, well-kept, and organized, creating a great environment for training. I truly enjoy every session and highly recommend Goshukan Karate to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a positive and structured setting.

    I can not recommend Goshukan Karate Academy enough! They embraced my son with welcome arms and all staff have a unique ability in captivating not only my ADHD son's attention but all kids.

    We are having an amazing experience at Goshukan Karate Academy. The instructors are fantastic, truly engaging with the kids and help kids grow and develop so much.
  • Avatar Wing Yip Lau ★★★★★ 7 months ago
    Highly recommend Goshukan Karate, a family owned business. Don’t worry much if your kids are introvert, Nicolas Coach would definitely help with this. All coaches are super friendly, always bring kids hyper fun, the way they teach junior … More class is funny and kids can easily remember the movement and as well as where you kids can learn discipline and team work.
    Environment is 100% clean and spacious, no stinky smell.
