Confidence in the Martial Arts

There are four main reasons parents enroll their children in the Martial Arts.  They are: Discipline, Confidence, Fitness or Health, and Self Defense.  The number one reason by far is discipline.  Discipline actually is the path to success to all of these topics.  The topic of today’s discussion is Confidence.  Confidence comes in at number two of parents top goals for their children.

Competence

Directly relational to Confidence is Competence.  This very concept is seen in the article The Four Cornerstones of High Self-Confiden.. . It stands to reason when you are good at something you not only enjoy doing it but you also will have a certain confidence when you do that activity.  With this being true, it would also be true to say that when your skill level increases your confidence with will increase with direct proportion to the skill level.  The trick is to let this confidence in one area spread to other areas of your life.

Martial Arts is a great way to teach confidence. Through the imagination of a child, when they put on their uniform, they think about all the strong models they have seen through media and in their mind’s eye, they are that superhero!

Through positive reinforcement and good instruction, a martial arts instructor can see profound increases in their students confidence in school, sports and all areas of a child’s life.
