KIDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS OBESE

Children need our support. We work hand in hand with parents to ensure our students make the right choices. At Yi's Martial Arts Fitness Academy we work with each student one on one with support when needed.

Focus & Concentration

Concentration is like a muscle that needs regular exercise to grow stronger. Martial arts provides kids with strategies that help improve their ability to focus and maintain their attention. Schoolwork requires students to be able to concentrate for extended periods of time. Participating in Jiu-Jitsu requires even more concentration. This ability to concentrate and sustain attention is crucially important. As students learn and improve, they will grow life skills such as self-confidence and positive self-esteem.

Enhanced Self-Control & Self-Discipline

Almost all young children are naturally impulsive. How do you teach a child to deal with this impulsive behavior? – Self-discipline. A child who has self-control and self-discipline has a huge advantage in dealing with life’s challenges.

So many problems can be avoided when a person has self-control. Martial arts is the perfect solution to help teach students self-control and self-discipline.

Better School Grades

Martial arts training and educational training share a very important goal: to inspire attitudes and actions that turn students into motivated, confident, capable, and self-reliant leaders. In school, high test scores are rewarded with good grades. Martial artists develop skills and traits needed to meet diverse challenges, such as studying to earn good grades. Just a few more are discipline, self-control, self-esteem, self-worth, courtesy, and respect for others.

This is a GIFT that will last a lifetime through school, college and into the work world.
