How much potential do you see in your child?
We know that all loving parents see great things in their child’s future. We believe that this potential in every child is real, as long as it is nurtured correctly. Your child needs a regular place to express and develop the values which will set them apart from the others as they mature into an accomplished adult – Values such as discipline, self-confidence, charisma and mental strength. Read on to see what we have done to pave the road for your child.
The value of a child
At the Sport Kickboxing Federation, our martial arts and kickboxing classes for children are the heart of our school. Our focus on the importance of children in our Kickboxing academies is because children are the future of our societies. Without strong children, we have no future to invest in. Therefore, our young students will learn in a safe, professional, safe, fun and most importantly, safe environment. Martial arts and kickboxing will have a lasting positive impact on your child’s life by training their mind and body to be strong.
Kids’ Kickboxing Benefits:
SKF training benefits children in many ways. We give your child a chance to strengthen his or her body and mind in a safe environment. Our survey of teachers and parents shows great benefits of our programs for children:
• Academics – 95% improvement
• Focus – 97% improvement
• Self-esteem – 87% improvement
SKF Kids’ training gives your child a chance to practice martial arts in a fun and exciting environment that he/she will never forget! Your child will grow to be much more optimistic and will meet great people in the process. The main benefits are:
• Endurance and strength (in-shape kids have more energy and a happier demeanor)
• Discipline (in school, with friends and around your family)
• Focus (their new focus will carry over in school and sports)
• Confidence in themselves
Parental concerns:
If your child has never taken any form of Martial Arts before, you may be thinking:
• Is it safe for young children to be kickboxing?
Yes. At Vancouver Kitsilano SKF none contact martial arts style is a very safe activity; your child will always be under the supervision of certified instructors. We do not engage children in full contact sparring or fighting. Your child will also be training with students of the same relative age and skill level. This is all done to eliminate the likeliness of head injuries, for as we said, Sport Kickboxing is meant to nurture the growth of our future leaders in society, not destroy it.
• How much does it cost for my child to learn kickboxing?
• Not sure? Hear it from a satisfied parent
“Excellent program! My son have had a great experience. The instructor works very well with the kids and has the energy and patience to keep the kids interested and in line.”
Our organization is not about egos and perfection. We are about community, and community is about healthy children.
What does science have to say about all of this?
A profound observation made by scientists has caused a lot of stir in the parenting world. Science has observed that a person’s brain will continually develop until roughly the age of 20, with the most significant growth occurring before the age of 10. The overall quality of the development is thought to be intimately linked with the quality of the experiences the child has while it is occurring. This is why we want to encourage you to get your child involved in something which will maximize their benefits from this period of development. If you aren’t sure where to start, we suggest here.
