Children Program

Why should you register your child at the CELIS ACADEMY?

Have you done everything you can to prepare your children for their life journey? You probably prepare your children to go to school, bought the items on the list of supplies, bought some new school clothes and taken them to the schools open house to meet the teachers and find their ways. There is still one more thing you can do to help your children have a successful life. Enroll your children in a martial art class at our school.

Martial art training is so much more than kicking, punching and breaking boards. Training martial arts teaches respect, emotional control, sportsmanship, focus and discipline. As we all know as parents, there are so many influences out there that go against these characteristics that we need to do everything we can to teach our children life long values.

Class Structure

When you enroll your children into the right martial arts class, they will enter a disciplined class that will require them to respect their instructor, their fellow students and themselves. The respect demanded at martial arts training will teach your children to respect their teachers, classmates and even school property even when they are not in their martial arts class because it naturally carries over into other aspects of their lives such as school work, team sports and classroom behavior. Instructors at our school will teach your children that all people, especially adults, deserve respect. You will probably even find your children's teachers telling you that their classroom demeanor is improving because of martial arts training.

Focus

Training martial arts is not a mindless activity. To keep themselves safe from injuries, participants need to have complete concentration and focus at all times during training. This ability to concentrate will carry over to other parts of your children's lives, even school. They will become more aware of their surroundings and will be less likely to zone out during the school day. They will have improved focus and concentration that will help them during school lessons, while doing homework and even when studying and taking exams.

Confidence

Another characteristic that all children need to succeed in school and life is confidence. Martial arts can help increase your children's confidence by giving them the knowledge they need to defend themselves not only physically, but mentally as well. They will be strong enough not to become victims of bullying from schoolmates and will have the ability to stay calm in stressful and potentially harmful situations by teaching them how to handle stress without losing their temper or simply becoming flustered.

Stress Reduction

You know that life can be stressful and you probably already know that physical exercise is a great stress reliever. Your children, even in the younger primary grades, may also be experiencing daily stress. It is no wonder with the rigors of school requiring them to do a many hours of homework each week. Giving children an outlet for physical activity, such as martial arts, can help them reduce their stress levels. While you might just encourage them to join different sports teams throughout the year, martial arts takes stress relief one-step further by giving them a well-rounded type of relief. When they are training martial arts, your children will be concentrating on their training, not dwelling on their problems and the things they need to do. They will not be worrying and stressing out about an upcoming test or about their friends. They will be focusing their mind on something productive (both mentally and physically) and will feel better all-around when they are done with their class.

Encouraging Non-Violent Conflict Resolution

Preparing your child for a successful school year and life journey requires so much more than school shopping and getting them out the door that first day. Help them learn how to help themselves by giving them the tools they need to respect others, focus on school, exude confidence and reduce their stress levels.
