Why choose Karate for my kid?

STRESS HORMONE MANAGEMENT!

A very common question indeed. You often hear people saying 'Martial Arts are violent'. A statement that we as an organisation couldn't disagree more. Recent scientific evidence have proved that even though at the start of their journey, Martial Arts participants experience a 'more impulsive' phase, over time they tend to be a lot less violent and emotionally controlled. This happens because once they reach a certain level and they are able to spar safely (fight at training) then they can experience an elevated state of their stress hormones that only fighting can provide. If done in a safe, positive and guided manner this can teach people to manage this stressful situation over time and increase their self esteem and emotional composure. Combat sports are also a great emotional release ritual. Just to let some steam off!

THE NOBLE ART!

Karate is a Martial Art but teaches its participants to only engage in fights to protect themselves or their loved ones. This noble characteristic is highlighted by the fact that the mere name of Karate which comes from the Japanese words 'Kara' meaning 'empty' and 'te' meaning hand, symbolizing that the karatekas won't hold any weapons to harm anyone and will only fight using their bare hands and feet only for self-defence.

SAFEST COMBAT SPORT!
