WE’LL PROVE TO YOU THAT OUR PROGRAM CAN TRANSFORM YOUR CHILD INTO A CHAMPION ON AND OFF THE MAT...

Here’s a list of over 10 benefits your child will receive just by being a part of our youth martial arts program…

SELF-DEFENSE – THE INSTRUCTORS AT BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS HAVE TRAINED FOR MANY YEARS TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WE TEACH IS REALITY BASED. WE’VE TRAINED UNDER SOME OF THE BEST MARTIAL ARTISTS IN THE WORLD AND ARE DEDICATED TO STAYING ON THE CUTTING-EDGE OF REALISTIC MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING – FOR OURSELVES AND FOR YOUR CHILDREN! WITH THAT SAID… YOUR CHILD MAY STILL BE IN THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE OF THEIR LIFE AND WILL FOCUS ONLY ON THE BASICS OF OUR MARTIAL ARTS CURRICULUM. BASIC TECHNIQUES INCLUDE: PROPER EXERCISE FORM, PUNCHING, KICKING, BLOCKING AND EVASION TECHNIQUES.

FOCUSING AND LISTENING – AT BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS, WE KNOW FOCUS PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN THE MINDSET OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE LIMITED ATTENTION SPANS AT THIS STAGE IN THEIR LIFE. OUR PROGRAM WILL BUILD THEIR ATTENTION SPAN… TEACHING YOUR CHILD TO FOCUS ON THE TASK AT HAND WHILE IMPROVING THEIR LISTENING AND REACTION SKILLS AT THE SAME TIME. AS A RESULT, YOUR CHILD WILL EXCEL IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO STAY FOCUSED, AND BECOME AN ASTUTE LISTENER IN THE DOJO, AT HOME, AND IN SCHOOL.

TEAMWORK AND POSITIVE SOCIAL INTERACTION – TEAMWORK IS NECESSARY FOR ANY YOUNG CHILD TO DEVELOP. IT IS AT THIS STAGE IN THEIR LIFE THAT THEY DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING AND A CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ABILITY TO WORK WITH OTHERS. AT ,BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS OUR ACTIVITY BASED CURRICULUM AND TEAMWORK ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT, DEVELOPS CHARACTER AND TEACHES YOUR CHILD THAT THE MORE WE WORK TOGETHER IN THE DOJO, AT HOME AND AT SCHOOL…THE MORE WE GET ACCOMPLISHED.

SELF-CONTROL AND GOOD DECISION MAKING – SELF-CONTROL REFERS TO THE TRAINING THAT ONE GIVES ONE’S SELF TO ACCOMPLISH A CERTAIN TASK OR TO ADOPT A PARTICULAR PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR, EVEN THOUGH ONE IS UNFOCUSED OR WOULD RATHER BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOUR CHILD HAS LEARNED TO LISTEN TO MOM AND DAD, PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS WHILE LISTENING TO THE TEACHER INSTEAD OF TALKING TO HIS FRIEND NEXT TO HIM, HE HAS DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO SELF-CONTROL… WHILE MAKING THE GOOD DECISION TO DO SO. AT BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS, AS BOTH PARENTS AND INSTRUCTORS, WE WORK ON THIS SKILL SET EVERY SINGLE DAY.

BALANCE AND POSTURE – FOR MANY 4-7 YEAR OLDS, ONE OF THE SKILLSETS THAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED, BUT NEEDS CONSTANT WORK AND ATTENTION IS BALANCE AND POSTURE… BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY FOR ALMOST ANY ACTIVITY. POOR POSTURE LEADS TO CRAMPED ORGANS, IMPROPER BREATHING, AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER UNHEALTHY BODILY EXPRESSIONS. AT , BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS OUR LITTLE DRAGONS PROGRAM HELPS TO BUILD STRONG BALANCE, HEALTHY POSTURES AND BALANCED MOVEMENT THROUGH THE USE OF AGE APPROPRIATE FORMS AND DRILLS – OFTEN PRESENTED AS A ENGAGING GAME, TO HELP DEVELOPING STUDENTS IMPROVE THESE FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS.

MEMORIZATION AND RETENTION – AT BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS , WE UTILIZE FUN AND EFFECTIVE MEMORY AND RETENTION DRILLS FOR BOTH MARTIAL ARTS AND REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS. ASIDE FROM MARTIAL ARTS ETIQUETTE, SKILL-BASED AND TECHNIQUE DRIVEN RETENTION, OUR MEMORIZATION REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE PARENTS HOME AND CELL NUMBERS, EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBERS AND RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS RETENTION. YOU’LL FIND IN MANY CASES, OUR STUDENTS ARE PRE-PREPARED AND LEARN THESE LIFE SKILLS PRIOR TO BEING INTRODUCED TO THEM AT THEIR SCHOOL. OUR PROGRAM IMPROVES MEMORIZATION SKILLS ESSENTIAL FOR WELL ROUNDED STUDENT DEVELOPMENT AND SCHOOL ACADEMICS IN THE NEAR FUTURE

SELF-DISCIPLINE AND RESPONSIBILITY – OUR INSTRUCTORS ARE MASTERS AT CREATING A VISION FOR YOUR CHILD THAT SELF-DISCIPLINE IS FUN AND REWARDING. WE INSTILL THIS VISION THROUGH INTERACTIVE AND TEAMWORK ORIENTED GAMES, DRILLS AND REAL WORLD ACTIVITIES. OUR AGE SPECIFIC MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING TECHNIQUES ARE USED IN CORRELATION WITH A CHILD’S HOUSEHOLD CHORE RESPONSIBILITY, THEIR AWARENESS TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES AND HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ACCOMPLISHED IN A TIMELY MANNER. AT BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS, YOUR CHILD WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE THEIR ABILITY TO INITIATE ACCOUNTABILITY, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND TAKE PRIDE IN DOING THE RIGHT THING.

PHYSICAL FITNESS AND HEALTHY LIVING – IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING HEALTHY AND PHYSICALLY FIT AT AN EARLY AGE. BEING PHYSICALLY FIT IS A NECESSITY FOR ANY MARTIAL ARTIST BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY… THE SOONER WE ENFORCE THIS CONCEPT, THE HEALTHIER YOUR CHILD WILL BE NOW… AND THE LESS DIFFICULT IT WILL BE TO STAY PHYSICALLY FIT AS THEY GROW OLDER. AT BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS , WE STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD EATING WHILE PHYSICAL FITNESS ACTIVITIES ARE ALWAYS FUN AND REWARDING.

COORDINATION AND MOTOR SKILLS – CHILDREN WITH STRONG BODIES, FINE TUNED MOTOR SKILLS AND PHYSICAL COORDINATION DEVELOPED THROUGH OUR LITTLE DRAGONS PROGRAM WILL HAVE IMPROVED: GENERAL HEALTH, SPORTS PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS OTHER PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DANCING OR BIKE RIDING. OUR COORDINATION AND MOTOR SKILLS TRAINING WILL DEVELOP YOUR CHILD’S CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM, THEIR MUSCULAR STRENGTH, AND WILL CREATE A GENERAL KIND OF BODY AWARENESS WHICH CAN ONLY BE GAINED FROM A WHOLE BODY METHOD OF MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING. AT BROOKLYN MARTIAL ARTS , YOUR CHILD WILL BE MORE COORDINATED, LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INJURIES, AND BE MUCH MORE AWARE OF THEIR BODY AND HOW TO USE IT CORRECTLY.

SELF-ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE BUILDING – OUR YOUTH PROGRAM IMPROVES A CHILDREN’S SELF ESTEEM THROUGH CONSISTENT POSITIVE VERBAL REINFORCEMENT AND OUR LIFE SKILL STRIPE REWARD SYSTEM. WHEN KIDS WORK TO EARN THEIR NEXT BELT LEVEL, NOT ONLY ARE THEY LEARNING BASIC WORLD-CLASS SELF-DEFENSE, THEY ARE BUILDING SELF-ESTEEM AND LEARNING TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES.
