Along with my previous posts talking about the benefits of the martial arts; like focus, self-discipline, and respect, I am greatly encouraged by the number of parents who are choosing to invest in their child’s future by having them train in the martial arts.
As
many of you know, I have 2 daughters (now aged 18 and 17). They both started training when they were
4& 5 years old and are still training to this day (15 years later). My youngest daughter – Chayse – is well known
for her abilities and skills in teaching the younger students, whereas my
oldest, Jenna, is my secondary when I have to demonstrate advanced and weapon
techniques.
In
addition, my wife Sam also trains consistently.
For us, the martial arts have always been a staple in our daily
routine. There are many times, when we
as a family would take a drive to the school on a Saturday night and do an hour
or so of training together before we went out (to a movie or shopping). I always found this to be great quality time
spent with as a family as we did something together that was good for us.
And
the results have showed – (I admitted some bias here) – quite frequently I am
complimented on the behaviour of my daughters.
Strangers have commented on how respectful and mature they are – and
this is when they were in their early teens.
Besides the commitment we, as parents, have – I also attribute this to
their training in the material arts.
February
is family month at our school – please give us a call or stop by to see how a
family member can get a FREE MONTH of
training.
Stay Solid,
Sifu Scott
