Several weeks ago I wrote an article on Why Adults Should Train Karate Too. Most often parents think of karate for their children first before themselves. I would also like to share my thoughts on the benefits of karate training for kids.
Parents often want to enrol their child in karate to improve their grades at school, teach them self discipline or respect for adults, get them into an exercise program (too much TV and video game playing I often hear), instill a sense of self-confidence or simply because they are being bullied in school or in the playground. No doubt these are all good reasons to enrol them in karate, and no doubt karate training can assist your child in all of these areas and more.
