FAQs
Kids Kickboxing / Children’s Martial Arts Questions
Kickboxing is indeed a great sport for kids, offering a myriad of benefits that extend far beyond physical fitness. It embodies the essence of one-vs-one sports, which have a unique set of advantages compared to team sports.
While team sports teach important values like teamwork, cooperation, and collective responsibility, individual sports like kickboxing focus on personal development, self-confidence, initiative, self-esteem, and assertiveness in children.
Getting your child interested in martial arts can often hinge on overcoming the initial hesitation or lack of interest that many children (and adults) experience when facing new activities. The key lies in encouraging that first step—the actual participation in a class or session.
It’s common for the idea of starting something new, like martial arts, to seem daunting or unappealing from the outside. However, once a child experiences the engaging, dynamic nature of the first class, their interest can skyrocket.
The nature of kickboxing as a one-on-one sport can play a important role in shaping psychological and emotional strengths, particularly in young girls. Although not as well-studied, surveys have highlighted a tendency towards excessive people-pleasing behaviours more commonly observed in women compared to men. This trait, while not inherently negative, can sometimes lead to challenges in asserting oneself, setting boundaries, and advocating for personal needs and rights.
Engaging in kickboxing from an early age empowers girls with combat skills and the experience of one-on-one competition, fostering a sense of personal confidence, initiative, and assertiveness. These qualities can be instrumental in developing a healthy balance of self-esteem and independence, thereby potentially mitigating the inclination towards excessive people-pleasing later in life.
Martial arts can positively influence a child’s behaviour, whether it’s depression, anxiety, or ADHD. It teaches discipline, focus, and respect, offering a constructive outlet for energy and emotions.
For children with depression, it boosts mood and develops a sense of belonging. It helps aggressive children learn to manage their emotions and react calmly. For those with ADHD, it may improve concentration and self-discipline. Overall, martial arts can lead to significant improvements in behaviour by instilling valuable life skills and self-confidence.
