Back to School

We are  going to go over four reasons why martial arts is a must this back to school season.Reason number #1 is fitness.Limiting screen time is very important and gets the kids off the couch, but it's not enough. Martial arts will give them a healthy lifestyle and is way better than playing video kids.Reason number #2 is self-confidence.Is your child shy? Is it hard for them to introduce themselves to people? Do they sometimes get bullied? Martial arts can truly help with self confidence because confidence comes from competence. And when you have real skills and tools to defend your. Confidence will follow having the confidence to defend yourself and stand up to a bully is a very empowering feeling.Reason number #3, self-discipline.It is the cornerstone of martial arts. We say that the habits we train are the habits we gain, the classes are designed to reinforce our habits of consistent practicing and following through with our commitments.Reason number #4, is RespectI think this is the most important one. Martial arts starts and ends with respect .Our students in White Rock, Cloverdale/ Langley, Tsawwassen, Aldergrove , and Mission, when they come to school, they have to bow in and bow out. This is to show respect to the school, their classmates and their instructors. Our classes are also designed with Mat Chats. These are life skills that we pick every month. These life skills are skills that you as parents probably talk about at home, but here at Chang's TaeKwonDo, we reinforce them.It is amazing the look you see on their face when they earn a new stripe or a new belt, it is absolutely priceless. Let’s do this!
