Did you know that martial arts training can enable kids to perform moves similar to those done by stunt men in martial arts movies such as Karate Kid? Only this time, the child will be performing the moves in reality. Unfortunately, violence has become part of mainstream entertainment that most parents wouldn't feel confident about enrolling their little ones to a martial arts school. However, martial arts has numerous physical, social and mental benefits for children and it's super fun.
Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts Academy popular Little Ninjas Program offers the following benefits:

Early foundation for martial arts

Some of the most complex martial arts moves take years to master. Some must actually be learned during a very tender age. The Little Ninjas program offers your child the opportunity to have a martial arts foundation that will make it easier to develop both physically and mentally in their martial arts journey. A good example of a martial arts student who started early in life is Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh to name only a few. They are, or were, well known martial arts master and movie stars.

A self confident child

Children who enroll for Bruce McCorry's Little Ninja training program show a boost in their self confidence within a few weeks of training. The children are more confident about performing gravity defying moves which the ordinary child would be afraid of. The child is no longer afraid of achieving their goals and are even driven to help others achieve theirs. This confidence is transferred to other life situations such as dealing with problems and danger. The growth in confidence progresses with time and it's possible to build a future leader this way.

Acquisition of life skills
