Be a Better Student with Martial Arts

How to be a Better Student with Martial Arts
written by: Master McCorry



Every child dreams to be a champion. However, when we assess the performance of children, we can see that many kids are not able to do well in their class as their parents and teachers would wish them to do. In fact, most of these kids have great potential in something or other. If you place them in the right atmosphere which gives them enough positive strength, these kids will excel in their classroom and be champions. How can we make this possible? For this, we have to understand why kids do not do well in their studies at times.

What Makes Children Falter in Studies?
Time and again, educationists repeat that every child has aptitude in at least one field, and most children have the capability to do well in class. What makes our children falter in studies, then? A number of reasons are there. First of all, the unwieldy curriculum that gives only negligible space to extracurricular activities makes children despise studies. When they have too much to study, they do not just start dreading lessons, but become too tired to learn anything even if they wish to. Another reason for under performance is the apprehensions which hold children back. They start getting bothered by a number of thoughts – can I do as well as others in my class? Am I intelligent enough to learn this? Would I be able to finish this in time? – All these are negative thoughts that extinguish a child’s enthusiasm in studies. What kids need is something that can relieve the excess stress of classroom work and break its boredom.
How to be a Better Student through Martial Arts Martial arts have the capability to change your child’s life dramatically. There are many ways in which martial arts can help kids to be better at studies: 1. Martial arts can make kids sharp and fast-thinking. Through martial arts, children can improve their analytic, reasoning and comprehensive skills – faculties which will help them to perform better in class. 2. Martial arts is a good stress-relieving technique. Once the children find an outlet like martial arts to burn off their stress, they can concentrate on studies with a calmer mind. 3. Martial arts can give children enough physical strength so that they can tolerate long class hours without being tired in their body and mind. 4. Martial arts are good confidence-boosters. It will help children to overcome their apprehensions and perform confidently in classroom activities like seminars, paper presentations, projects and so on. 5. If your child chooses to practice martial arts after school, it will be an effective way to break the dullness of a long day in school and refresh him/her. 6. Martial arts instills in kids the positive energy they need to be better students.

Martial Arts for Kids: A Remedy for Monotonous School Life
written by: Master McCorry
School: A Boring Place? HSSSE, a worth-noting High School Survey conducted by the Indiana University usually gets a place in news because it is carried out among more than 80000 children from twenty-six states over the US. An interesting observation made by the survey was that only less than 2% of the children who participated in the survey admitted to never being bored in high school. Though we may not generalize or assume this 2% as belonging to an intellectually superior minority that actually enjoy studies, it is still shocking to think that 98% of the students think of school as boring.
What Makes School Life Boring? Alvin Rosenfield, who used to head the department of Child Psychiatry at Stanford University, has made a famous observation that it is by the time children reach high school that many of them get bored with school. One of the reasons he points out for this is the tightly packed schedule in younger classes. If we think about it, we can add many more reasons as to why these children grow up never having the opportunity to cultivate a genuine interest in what they are asked to do at school. Just like tightly packed schedules, monotony and repetitiveness of studies can also be reasons. Even the few hours of physical activity or extra-curricular activities that a child gets in younger classes disappear by the time he/she reaches high school. Eventually, all that a child gets to do is lessons - the only thing from which he/she wishes to take a break.
Martial Arts: A Remedy for Monotony As the 21st century parents, it is more important for us to find a remedy for this problem. This is so because every day, class schedules are becoming more packed and more monotonous. A good extra-curricular activity like martial arts can break the monotony of dull school hours. In fact, it is beneficial for children to practice martial arts after school. After a whole day of exerting their mind to studies, every child deserves some fun physical activity that he/she can enjoy. Martial arts does not only dissipate boredom, but also invigorates the body and mind after school. In fact, it is one of those physical activities that provides maximum physical and mental benefits to kids. Health, immunity, self confidence and willpower are only some of the advantages that a martial art learner gets from his/her art. In every way, martial arts nourish and enhance the school life for children.
