THE BENEFITS OF APLUS MARTIAL ARTS FOR YOUNG ATHLETES

There are many reasons martial arts might be a good match for young athletes who learn and think differently. Here are nine benefits.

  1. They focus on individual growth, as well as team competition. Many beginning athletes struggle with the pressure of competing with other athletes. But in martial arts, the focus is on self-improvement.
  2. They work toward specific goals. Some athletes who learn and think differently feel like they never "win" at anything. In martial arts, athletes perform at their own pace. They earn a different colored belt every time they reach a new skill level, and this can boost self-esteem and keep them motivated.
  3. Routines are broken down into chunks. A technique or form in martial arts can have dozens of different movements. But athletes learn gradually, repeating and adding steps as they go. They learn to anticipate which step comes next. And eventually, they put everything together into fluid movements.
  4. They emphasize self-control and concentration. Attention is central to martial arts. Athletes have to stay focused to learn and to do the movements. When a child's focus drifts, instructors often ask them to take the "ready stance." This lets them reset and get ready for what's next.
  5. They help with coordination. Doing martial arts movements can help athletes get a better feel for their bodies in space. This is good for athletes who struggle with motor skills. It also helps athletes understand the power of the mind over the body.
  6. They provide structure. Good martial arts instructors have clear rules and constantly reinforce them. They also emphasize good behavior in and out of class.
  7. It's a safe way for kids to get out extra energy. It's a myth that martial arts encourage violent behavior. Instructors often say that fighting is a last resort. At the same time, kicking and karate chopping let young athletes work out frustration or anger while practicing self-control.
  8. It's an accepting environment. Respect is a core value in martial arts and team sports. Athletes have to show it to their instructor/ coach and their peers. Negativity is generally not tolerated in class, and students are encouraged to support each other, which leads to a good leader in team sports.
  9. They're cool. Athletes who learn and think differently sometimes feel awkward or out of the loop. But lots of kids think martial arts are cool. It's hard not to feel special when you're wearing martial arts gear and breaking boards in half.
