We frequently have doctors refer parents to IMC as a means of development for their child dealing with learning and attention issues. Here are five reasons Martial Arts makes a great match:
- Individual growth, not team competition. Many kids with learning and attention issues struggle with the pressure of competing with other kids. In Martial Arts, the focus is on self-improvement.
- Self-control and concentration. Kids must stay focused to learn and perform. They are constantly engaged through high-energy, short activities.
- Tangible and realistic goals. Kids work at their own pace and are awarded a different coloured belt every time they reach a new skill level.
- Manageable chunks. Kids learn gradually, repeating and adding steps as they go, providing active memory with a serious workout.
- Repetition and coordination. The deliberate, repetitive movements help kids develop a better feel for their body in the space around them.
