Hygiene Speech by one of our Junior Instructor at Choe's HapKiDo Karate in Cumming GA

Here is a speech given by one of our Junior Instructors. Mr Liam is a Junior Instructor, a leader at the Kids Martial Arts School in Cumming GA. He gave this speech about having proper hygeine to his peers at a Choe's HapKiDo Karate Belt Test held at our Duluth Karate School. Part of being a Junior Instructor is learning to be more confident and being able to speak in front of an audience, and Liam did an awesome job with his speech :)




HYGIENE
By
Liam
            "Hygiene is important so you won’t get sick.  Three areas I want to cover are teeth, body, and hands.
            Brushing your teeth at least two times a day will clean your teeth.  Make sure you do a circular motion at the gum line, and you won’t have cavities or bad breath.
            If you sweat daily, taking a quick shower will help especially after a Hapkido workout.  Make sure you use soap and shampoo.
            Washing your hands after using the toilet will prevent sickness and people calling you gross.
            If you follow these three things, you won’t get sick and you’ll smell good, and people will want to be your friend!"

Does martial arts training like Karate really help children with focus and discipline?

Does martial arts training like Kids Karate really help children in Johns Creek and Suwanee with focus and discipline?

To truly answer this question you have to understand the time commitment from regular martial arts training and how much of an influence that has on someone’s overall attitude. There is no doubt that martial arts such as kids Karate are great for helping children in Johns Creek and Suwanee learn about the concepts of focus, respect and discipline but the parents also have a large role to play in the equation. You have to think that the overall time that the children spend at kids Karate each week is probably about 2-3 hours and it takes consistent effort at home, in school, and in the martial arts dojo to properly instill discipline.

With that being said, martial arts training in Suwanee such as kids Karate can definitely assist the development of discipline in a few different ways. The first way that martial arts teaches children is by structuring the activity of learning with respect and a set of rules that are key to progressing in their Martial Arts training. Once they understand the concept of discipline, with regular martial arts practice, such as weekly kids Karate classes, they get the practical experience in the disciplined environment. This repetition of discipline and progression of focus allows them to have at least a few hours a week of practice in developing these skills.

All in all, Johns Creek martial arts such as kids Karate help children in in Suwanee with the development of focus and discipline but these have to be further reinforced at home and in the classroom. Also you have to keep in mind that not all martial arts schools in the Suwanee and Johns Creek area are geared towards teaching traditional Martial Arts or the values of respect and discipline. There are plenty of great facilities for children to get physical exercise or compete in sport martial arts but for the best overall experience it is important to find a Karate dojo that can train their minds as well as their bodies.

The best Johns Creek Karate schools have a balanced approach that advertise traditional martial arts such as HapKiDo Karate, or state that they instill values such as respect and discipline.  Finding a dojo that have a good reputation and that can interact with the children in a way that is respectful and mentors all of the natural positives, is the key to finding the best martial arts training facilities for children. If you are interested in learning more or want to try a great kids Karate or adult Karate class you can go to one of our great locations.  Check out this link to see our awesome facilities! www.iLoveMartialArtsGeorgia.com
