Teens & Students
Being a teenager or college student can be quite stressful. Under the weight of peer pressure and a heavy school load, it becomes easy to push aside the things that made us happy in childhood. Karate teaches lessons about focus, discipline, and hard work leading to results. These lessons shouldn’t be left behind as you grow older. Karate is an outlet for students like Jaylen. As he explains: “my ability to focus under pressure is the pivotal reason to my success in and out of the classroom, to empty my mind and focus is the gift of karate.”
Adults & Parents
Nicole Stewart once though karate wasn’t meant for adults like her. “My first thought, ‘really?’ Karate’s something for kids, right? I couldn’t have been more wrong.” Nicole credits karate with helping her find her individuality. “I’m no longer defined by those around me, but by what’s on my inside. Karate gives me these tools.” Adult life can be hectic and stressful, yet we often push aside the things that would actually benefit and improve our lives – like karate. Not only is karate a great fitness option, it is also mentally and spiritually stimulating.
Seniors
Seniors can experience many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits through martial arts like Tai Chi. Tai Chi is a low-impact martial art that can help improve strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and agility. It also helps to increase endurance and stamina. Many seniors find that the slow and flowing postures of Tai Chi are calming and peaceful.
