Martial arts Is The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Child and yourself
Greater academic achievement. Unshakable self respect.
Increased strength and fitness in body, mind and soul.
"Martial Arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about
fighting…himself. His innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within
himself a powerful, unstoppable force. " "A force that gives him the strength to
kick down the doors of his own self doubts, A force that opens your child to the
exalting power of values." We are conducting Specialized training programs in Delhi
for the all round development of its participants. And all of it comes while learning
how to “kick, block, and punch.” Look at it this way. Your child’s first and biggest
challenge comes not from “fighting for his rights on the street,”
or “beating up the neighborhood bully.” It comes, instead, from
battling more sinister forces. Your child’s own
fears and self doubts:
“I’m not as smart as Manish.”
“I don’t get what my teacher is saying.”
“I wish I was as [strong, pretty, tall] as Rahul.”
“Why does Rohan keep giving me a bad time?”
“Why can’t I be as popular as Ajay?”
The question is, how do you get your child to fight these
demons? You know the problem. Your child has a tough time even telling you He /
she’s haunted by them. Never mind how she / he might conquer them.
Well, the good news is, We have a proven solution. A program
that has already worked. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you
think.
In other words, when your child uses the discipline of karate to conquer his fears,
he has power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know
of no other sport that does this better than karate.
Now, you may be asking, how does all this “values” stuff
work? And why does karate manage to do a better job teaching it?
Again, more than any other sport, Karate gives your child the chance to explore
her innate powers. She’ll marvel (as you will) as she increases in strength, flexibility
endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start.
In fact, her physical skills act as a foundation for something
much more important: the development of her value skills, mental and spiritual.
And not cut off from her physical skills, but intimately connected - even bonded-to
them.
Like this:
Strong Courage
Your child finds the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself
to take on more difficult karate moves and skills. He becomes no longer afraid of
being afraid.
As he does so, he learns that whatever he sows, so he reaps. He learns to blame
no one, but himself. He suddenly sees his life as a constant, never-ending journey
of life-giving improvement.
In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He puts an
arm lock on his own destiny.
Staying power
Your child finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can walk farther, run
longer, practice skills until she gets them right.
In turn, she learns not to give up. She sticks things out. With the help of her
teachers, she strives harder, longer to reach her goals. Even if she fails she perseveres.
She won’t let her self doubts get in the way of finding ultimate solutions.
As the man said, “Where performance is measured, performance improves.” Yet, your
child has to first accept where he stands now. That means measuring current strengths.
Above all, he learns that to succeed, he can’t fool anyone, especially himself.
This results in a keener focus. He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and
not just in karate.) He pays greater attention to what each teacher says. He knows
and accepts where he stands.
Powerful Self Control
She’ll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. She’ll have deeper respect for
rules.
Improved Focus
She’ll learn what’s needed, along with the skill to “zero in” on critical tasks
at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won’t get in her way.
Fearless Self Confidence
Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer
Few Lines from Gichin Funakoshi (Known
as faher or founder of Karate):
Karate is not only dojo training.
Don't forget that karate begins with a bow and ends with a bow.
In Karate never Attack first
One who practices karate must follow the way of justice
First you must know yourself then you can know others
Spirtiual development is paramount technical skills are merely means to the end
You must release your mind
Misfortune comes out of laziness
Karate is a lifelong training
Put karate into everthing you do
Karate is like hot water if you do not give heat constantly it will again become
cold
Do not think you have to win think that you do not have to lose
Victory depends on your ability to tell vulnerable points from invulnerable ones
Move according to your opponent
Consider your opponent's hands and legs as you would sharp swords
When you leave home think that millions of opponents are waiting for you
Ready position for beginners and natural position for advanced students
Kata is one thing engaging in a real fight is another
Do not forget 1) strength and weakness of power 2) expansion and contraction of
the body, 3) slowness and speed of thechniques devise at all times
