Teenagers are smart and capable – but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their
innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around.
But all they need is an outlet for their frustrations – and an opportunity to learn how to be their best.
They make hasty, poorly-considered decisions and need to have better judgment.
They’re being bullied at school – or they’re the one doing the bullying. They don’t get enough exercise or need to lose weight.
They have low self-esteem and seem to be down all the time. They give up when things get difficult and fail to meet their goals.
It can test your sanity even at the best of times. Yet, you want the best for your teenager. You want them to have the tools they need to succeed now and later in life – and you’d like that to happen without having to pull out all your hair in the process. Getting them to do anything you want them to do can feel utterly impossible, and you’re not sure where to start.
Studying Karate helps kids learn how to overcome their problems and learn important lessons – the kind of lessons that will follow them to your home, to the classroom, and for the rest of their lives.
Teenagers who study Karate learn the benefits of self-control and discipline with every lesson. Our classes emphasize core values like discipline, respect, and persistence. Students learn that the way they
treat others – in and out of the dojo – reflects on them as people and affects their
ability to achieve their goals.
Teenagers sometimes seem to be all attitude and no respect – in fact, it can seem like they go out of the way to respect all authority figures.
In our Karate Academy, respect is a core discipline. Students must treat their instructor and fellow students with respect at all times.
Ultimately, Teenagers who study Karate learn that when they respect themselves, others will respect them, too.
Whether they’re in a Karate class or in a competition, the difference between a good performance and a poor one often comes down to judgment.
Students learn how to make judgments on the fly using the information they have on hand in conjunction with their training.
They also learn how to differentiate between good instincts and bad ones – and to use that information to make judgments.
It might seem like your Teenager would happily spend all day sitting on the couch playing video games or posting on social media.
The electronics epidemic might be a good thing in many ways, but teenagers still need physical activity to stay fit and healthy.
Karate classes provide Teenagers with challenging workouts in a fun, social setting that rivals any video game.
