Is it really a good idea to send your child to martial arts now? Why?

I think in the family conditions allow the case, let the child to learn martial arts benefits are very obvious, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1, strengthen the physical benefits: this point I believe that there is no need to say more. Now with the improvement of the overall standard of living of the people, children are the jewel of the family, a general lack of physical exercise. Traditional martial arts, however, have been accumulated from the lives of people of all races and are one of the oldest forms of physical fitness. So by learning traditional martial arts, it helps children to strengthen their exercise and physical fitness. In addition, children are in the stage of growing body, at this time for martial arts learning, to build a good physical foundation of the effect is very obvious.

2, cultivate a good character: traditional martial arts emphasize both internal and external cultivation, where the internal means the nature of the heart. Children in the process of wushu sports, through the rules of sports, will experience competition, cooperation, success, failure and frustration, which is difficult to experience in the classroom and books.

In addition, through the study of martial arts, it can also avoid the child's introverted and withdrawn personality. Because martial arts is a collective training program, there are often games of a group nature that are added to the training activities, such as competitions, performances, outdoor activities, etc. By participating in a group program, the child will be able to learn as much as possible. By participating in group programs, children try to integrate into the collective, enhance their own vitality and the spirit of cooperation with others. Change the child's timid, weak character. If the child originally has a timid, weak character, limited interaction, and lacks the courage to establish relationships with others, then learning martial arts can also be a relatively good improvement. Nowadays, the training requirements of martial arts schools for such children are not very high, basically focusing on basic training, through the gradual guidance can let the child experience more success. This will help them to increase their self-confidence and improve their courage.

Maybe some parents are worried that academic martial arts will bring violence to their children. The fundamental idea of martial arts is actually to protect oneself first, not to attack others. Some children like to bully, after contact with martial arts, he will realize that he is even more powerful, the other side can also hit him, and when the other side hit him, he will also be in pain, slowly instead of giving up the idea of bullying others. But if it is someone who bullies him, he will instead not be afraid and be able to protect himself better.
