kids krav maga – Forged Bjj Krav Maga Self Defense Salem MA

Children’s brains are like sponges: they soak everything up and always need new stimulation. Enrolling young kids in extracurricular activities can provide them with a structured way of learning outside of school and a community of peers to support them. However, finding the right fit according to their specific learning style, developmental needs, and temperament is no easy feat. Martial Arts Training is an extremely popular choice, with over 3 million children in the U.S. participating according to recent statistics, and for good reason. The emphasis on discipline and self-respect in martial arts culture combined with a child-oriented format gives kids the perfect outlet to work on behavior, make friends, and get their energy out.

Youth Curriculum

Martial Arts attracts all types of children. Those who do well in a classroom, and those who don’t. Those who make friends easily, and those who struggle. Those who learn visually, and those who benefit from a hands-on approach. The youth Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu curriculum at the Forged Self-Defense uses a fast paced and varied mixture of activities to make sure everyone is learning skills and having fun, no matter how their brain functions. Line drills in which instructors hold pads for students to work a technique, before sending them off to run through an obstacle course, is a staple drill to keep energy high. Group activities encourage students to work together and learn each other’s names, so no one is left out. Games incorporating techniques and fitness make sure students get their exercise in and energy out so they are happy and tired by the end of each class. The curriculum is designed to be engaging and hands-on, so students are never bored or stuck in one activity for too long.

Values

On top of drills and activities targeted at developing skills like listening, teamwork, and intensity, instructors sit down with the class in a circle towards the end of each class for a “mat chat” to talk about martial arts values such as self-discipline, respect, and gratitude. The kids are encouraged to participate and offer their own interpretations of the topic to show their understanding. Veteran students can often define these complicated concepts in their own words and explain how to use them in everyday life.

Since the best time to form habits is in childhood, Forged instructors teach students the right habits to build to succeed in life. Sometimes the mat chat topic of the month is “the mindset of a champion”, or “why should we treat ourselves with respect?” To reinforce these core tenets, students perform both traditional martial arts customs such as bowing to their partners to pay their respect, as well as new traditions such as responding to the call-back “Put your hands in the air and say ‘We’re awesome’!”

The effects of this teaching can be seen in how Forged Self Defense students treat one another, and the progress new students make after just a few months. When a student receives their first belt, they are part of a team that they both want to support and earn the support of. Above all, the Forged instructors try to teach that the goal of Martial Arts is not a black belt, but everything they learn on their journey to the black belt and beyond.

Krav Maga: Mental and Physical Training for Children

Dragon Within knows that the days of children being terrorized by schoolyard bullies are far from over. In fact, reports from elementary and high school administrators indicate that violence and taunting are at an all-time high. Is your child the victim of bullying? If left to their devices, bullies can have a huge impact on your child’s life. It will affect academics, self-esteem and even his or her safety.

Krav Maga is an excellent antidote to this trend. With confidence and physical strength from this technique, your child will be able to respond to attempts at undercutting his or her routine at school. Krav Maga is the ultimate mental and physical training for children of all ages. Here are its best features:

Instilling confidence: Every child has issues with confidence during elementary and high school. When tormented by a bully, things can quickly get worse. Krav Maga training will show your child how to stand up to any type of approach. Bullies do not like being pushed back. Even when larger assailants come at Krav Maga students, they are taught how to quickly neutralize opponents. No one will be able to instill fear in your child.

Providing strength training: Knowing how to respond to aggressors is one thing; Krav Maga instruction involves real physical training. Blocking punches, jabbing opponents in weak spots and acting swiftly are all parts of the routine. If you want to be sure your child will be able to defend him or herself if attacked, Krav Maga is the answer.

Promoting restraint in the face of confrontation: Krav Maga is a self-defense technique, meaning students are taught to protect themselves without instigating trouble. This factor is important, as brawling in school can lead to suspensions and even criminal charges. Students who are trained in self-defense come to learn restraint and control situations better than students unaware of these practices. Let Krav Maga show your child the power in acting responsibly.

Developing character: Sports that demand intense focus and dedication from your children are excellent for character building. Krav Maga is the product of fighters trained in boxing and wrestling, disciplines known for their intensity. By training in Krav Maga, your child will develop that resilience that is a part of every sound mind. Instead of looking for the easy way out, Krav Maga teaches to look for the best way out.

Teaching leadership skills: Krav Maga’s founder quickly realized he had a gift and needed to help friends in Slovakia’s Jewish ghetto develop survival skills. This technique teaches children to be leaders; to stand up for what is right; to protect friends; and help band together to thwart the efforts of evil forces. Allowing your child to be a leader in his earliest communities will be a positive experience later in life.

Whether or not you fear your child is being harassed by bullies at school, Dragon Within’s Krav Maga training is a terrific way to teach dedication to physical and mental development in children from the youngest ages. We take the time and effort to make sure all our kids are in a safe environment and that they know how to handle themselves when being bullied.
