The Rewards of Teaching Martial Arts to Children

0
0

This past week was grading week for the kid’s classes at the Academy. This is one of the highlights of my martial arts teaching career as I enjoy watching the progress that each of them has made in their martial arts training. I also get great personal rewards from seeing the confidence and dedication many of them express in their training and it reminds me of the effect and responsibility that we have as influencers on the lives of our young children.

I was particularly impressed by the effort and determination demonstrated by the students in performing and demonstrating their techniques. Most of them had clearly been practicing for their grading at home and displayed excellent technique for their period training.

It is always very rewarding to see their expressions when they are handed their new grades and this time was no exception. One particularly notable 7 year olds’ reaction, when he received his new belt, was, as one of the parents commented, as if he had just won Lotto.

I am both very fortunate and gratuitous that I have the opportunity to play a part in helping the young children develop the confidence and courage that will assist them as they grow up and become successful in whatever they devote their lives to.
