Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. It is, for the most part, until you look around and see your kids with their noses buried into their devices. Buried noses, even though they’ve asked for yet another device or trendy toy. Ugh! You decide that their devices must be enough for them. If they can entertain your kids for hours on end, then why on earth do your kids need another one? So, you think, what now? 

What should you give them for Christmas?  How about giving them something that will last a lifetime -- the gift of the Martial Arts. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Life Skills. The Martial Arts go beyond typical sports when it comes to developing true leadership and life skills. Honesty, Courtesy, Self-Discipline, Perseverance, and a Positive Attitude are principles that will carry into all other aspects of their lives.
2. An Energy Outlet. Martial Arts allow your child to burn off the energy in a safe, supervised context. Kids don’t get enough physical activity throughout the day. Healthy kids stem from healthier bodies. Martial Arts classes get them moving.
3. Self-Defence. When delivered the right way, Martial Arts teach children the “art of fighting, without fighting.” Kids gather the skills they need to stand up      to bullies, avoid confrontation, and resolve conflict peacefully. Plus, busy kids equals safer kids!
4. How about FUN! We all need some fun in our lives. High-fives, jumping jacks, music and all other aspects of a Martial Arts class will brighten anyone’s day. Kids see Martial Arts on TV, movies, and video games. Give them a chance to be a Ninja Turtle or Kung Fu Panda. For older kids, new  friendships develop through the Martial Arts, and socialization takes on a new form.
