Building Strong Kids Through Taekwondo
At ATA Martial Arts of Albuquerque, we focus on fostering non-violent conflict resolution skills, enhancing socialization abilities, promoting physical activity, and instilling the value of setting and achieving goals in children aged 7 to 12. Taekwondo provides a safe and structured environment where kids can develop discipline, confidence, and respect while having fun and staying active.
Encourages Non-Violent Conflict Resolution
Thinking that martial arts instruction promotes violent behavior is justified if your only experience with the activity comes from television or movies. In fact, many defensive styles teach kids peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution skills and emphasize the importance of avoiding a physical altercation.
Kids who don't always thrive in highly social environments may find it easier to get to know people and make new friends when they're in a room filled with peers who share a common interest.
Boosts Socialization Skills
Encourages Physical Activity
Enrolling an inactive child in such a physically demanding pastime not only discourages the sedentary lifestyle she's used to, but also gives her an enjoyable activity that inspires her to keep moving.
Most forms of martial arts are based around an accomplishment system of colored belts that signify the wearer's degree of skill. When your child strives toward each new belt, he's learning valuable lessons about setting and reaching his goals.
