THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON IN MARTIAL ARTS FOR KIDS IN PORTLAND AND BEAVERTON, OREGON...
Many parents worry that teaching children martial arts in Portland and In Beaverton, Oregon will encourage them to be aggressive. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, children who know how to defend themselves usually never have to! The most important martial arts lesson your child will learn is how NOT to fight. This may seem counter-intuitive, but hear me out...
In our children's martial arts classes in Portland and In Beaverton, Oregon, your child will learn the importance of being responsible for their behavior, and learn how to defuse conflicts before they become physical, even when provoked by others. We teach children to find their inner voice, and stand up for themselves with confidence. As a result your child will know how to avoid intimidating or provocative situations because they will know they can defend themselves if they need to. This knowledge is more powerful than any bully or troublemaker they may face.
Finally, your child is taught that they only use their training as a last resort, to protect themselves (never for showing off or attention.) In the event your child is forced to defend themselves, they will know how to do so with the least amount of force necessary to protect themselves, without injuring others. Often all that is required is a confident attitude, and strongly asserted phrase like, STOP, I AM NOT GOING TO FIGHT. I DO NOT WANT TO HURT YOU! to completely end the conflict.
