Increased Self-Esteem

Kids who have a low self-esteem or low self-worth tend to become the victims of bullying. The Pre-school martial arts classes at DC Self Defense Karate Association will provide a source of pride as your child achieves each new rank. With each new belt comes a boost in their confidence and belief in themselves. They learn how to set goals and how to work hard to achieve them. As they spend more time training with us, they will develop into strong, confident leaders of the future.

A Foundation of Respect

Martial arts is a very structured environment that requires children to listen, pay attention and follow instructions. They learn to respect their instructors, adults and authority. The belt ranking system encourages them to strive to achieve and earn respect from their peers.

These are all qualities that flow over into their home lives. Not only do they learn new martial arts moves, they also gain a solid foundation of respect that puts them on a good path for later when they enter school.

The training at DC Self Defense Karate Association creates a shared experience that fosters a camaraderie amongst the students. There are plenty of small group activities used during the course of our sessions that teach the value of cooperation and teamwork. It is a lesson that will last a lifetime.
