Kids’ Life/Party Life

Enrolling a child in a martial arts programme is one of the best actions a parent can take to prevent bullying, because it can help children on both sides of the bullying equation. By providing benefits such as confidence, discipline, respect, self-control, leadership, stress relief, and self-defence, martial arts helps both the children who are being bullied, and the children who are bullying others.

Why your kid should take karate: » self-defence » Fitness, physical & mental strength » Co-ordination » self-discipline & selfconfidence » healthy spirit of competitiveness » assistance in developing in other sports » social network of likeminded individuals » Fun

691 Chota Motala road

How Building Up Confidence Can Stop Bullying Bullies often enjoy status and prestige because others fear them. They also command a lot of attention for their behaviour. Martial arts helps build up these children’s confidence in other areas, so that they won’t need to resort to bullying for attention or approval. Bullies pick victims that they think will be easy targets. A child who seems weak, unsure of herself, or easily scared makes an easy target. Martial arts helps build up children’s confidence so that they are able to project an aura of strength and ensure that they are not perceived as easy targets.

How Reinforcing Discipline Can Prevent Bullying One factor that contributes to bullying is an inconsistent approach to discipline at home. Martial arts helps provide children with a clear-cut and consistent structure of discipline that helps them learn which types of behaviour are acceptable and which are not. Victims of bullying can sometimes make things worse for themselves by acting in ways that make it easy for others to taunt or threaten them. Martial arts helps by teaching these children the discipline to manage their own behaviour in such a way that it does not in any provoke or trigger a bully.
