How does Martial Arts Develop a Child's Confidence

One of the way that training in the martial arts helps children to become more confident is by showing them how to set and accomplish short-, medium-, long-term goals. This done through the progression of belts. As a child experiences success in training that success naturally transfers outside the school as well making them more likely to set and achieve other goal. Remember success is the backbone of confidence. Martial arts training also helps children face their fear in a safe, nurturing environment. As a child learns to defend themselves, they become less threatened by those around them. Then, instead of myself, "I'm" strong. I'm confident; I am a nice person, but don't mess with me. ....

TWO WORDS NOT SPOKEN ENOUGH

AT THE END OF EVERY CLASS IN OUR DOJO, THE STUDENTS SAY DOMO ARIGATO WHICH TRANSLATES TO THANK YOU. THESE TWO WORDS, "THANK YOU" SPOKEN SINCERELY, CAN HAVE SUCH A POSITIVE IMPACT ON EVERYTHING THAT YOU MAY BE GRATEFUL FOR, AND THE GOOD AND BAD THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOU. IN CLASS WE BOW TO EACH OTHER WHICH MEANS THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH ME AND NOT HURTING ME. A SIMPLE THANK YOU GOES A LONG WAY WHEN SOMEONE MIGHT BE HAVING A BAD DAY AND YOU THANK THEM FOR YOUR HELP WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. ONE WAY TO BE GRATEFUL IS TO BE THANKFUL FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE AND THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE IN YOUR LIFE. "PLEASE" START SAYING THESE TWO WORDS MORE OFTEN. "THANK YOU". ....

The commitment to achieve your black belt and beyond

Earning a black belt is not for everyone, However, many people that could have benefited from long-term training quit because they didn't make the commitment to get their black belt. Of course, there's no guarantee that if someone does makes the commitment they will achieve the rank. But one thing is for sure, once a student commits to getting a black belt, he or she is way more likely to get through the challenges that are surely coming their way than if they didn't make that commitment. That's why, as instructors, we should encourage our students to make that commitment as soon as possible. The commitment to "Martial Arts for Life"
I believe that to commit to black belt is not ....

Use humor. Ignore. Agree. Stand up. Walk away. These are six of the 12 steps to busting bullies, as taught by local karate teacher Matt Zahand. Zahand said he started his Bully Buster program two years ago when he returned from serving in the Navy and found that students in their teens and younger were committing suicide at an alarming rate. This is his third year presenting the program in local schools. Zahand, 23, has no children of his own, but as an instructor at his father’s ....

a month ago-

My son and other family members have been attending classes at Zahand's for quite some time now and we have nothing but good things to say about the program and people involved.

My child has benefited from the program in so many ways! To name a few, I have noticed improvement in his attitude, confidence, and responsibility. I believe the structure of Zahand's unique program is the foundation for these improvements. This program has been a worthwhile investment!

My child and I have to move out of town due to life oportunities. Shihan has already terminated my contract no problem. I gave them notice and was honest and respectful about my situation and they were very reasonable and understanding. I do regret leaving the program and my child is quite disappointed. We hope to return to the area at some point.

I highly recommend Zahand's Martial Arts!
The instructors are phenomenal and so is the facility. I have witnessed my son grow in his confidence, focus, respect, goal setting, and self-discipline. To me that is priceless. We love being part of this karate family.

Take a class and find out for yourself! You will not be disappointed :)
