Imagine for a moment an activity that will enhance your child’s physical, mental and spiritual well being. A safe caring environment, where the most important aspects of life are taught. Courtesy, modesty, respect, integrity and self-control are just a few of the concepts promoted by our eager, well-trained staff at the Western New York Karate Center.
Fitness
Every student enrolled in our program benefits from the exercise required to do martial arts. Children need a healthy outlet to exert their energy. At this facility, they are expected to play fairly, to take turns and to treat one another as they would like to be treated. This energetic curriculum assists in the areas of coordination and balance, strength and endurance, alertness and timing. This will help in all other sports and activities.
Focus
Children that study karate learn to set goals and strive to achieve them. They recognize that listening is one of the most crucial components of their success. Each time a child follows directions precisely, the reward is having learned something new. The quicker they respond to an instruction, the more they are able to absorb. Consequently, these students are better behaved at home and at school. They accept their responsibility more wholeheartedly, and improve academically. Children who have Attention Deficit Disorder will acquire better memorization and concentration skills.
Fun
One of the most exciting steps for a student of the martial arts is to progress from belt to belt. As a new belt is being awarded, smiles radiate from parents, children and instructors alike. Laughter, pride, and joy fill the room as they are adorned with a new colored belt. The students are given a certificate signifying the date on which their accomplishment was met. Each certificate is personally signed by the Master Instructor and all of the other Senseis. These kids learn that hard work and persistence do pay off, and they have fun at the same time!
