Discipline Equals Success
- With the commitment to train over time, the disciple and focus of martial arts teaches the patience to avoid the instant gratification trap and to build the character to persist in doing what is right, not what is expedient. Research supports exactly how important these skills are.
- Confidence is achieved through physical training where children learn that being grounded and steady, and finding their center with a relaxed awareness leads to greater success and ease. These benefits translate beyond the dojo.

For Best School Performance, Know How to Learn
- Teaching martial arts is not simply about how to jump and kick but understanding how learning takes place to help each student find their highest potential. This is why quality of instruction is so crucial.
- Historically, martial arts training is structured for each person to find their best chance to survive in an emergency. Stress must be carefully moderated to each students capacity. While there is some challenge to keep them engaged, the student is still left with some bandwidth to understand what ultimately will work to maximize learning. School performance can be enhanced by understanding these principles.

Self-Defense Without Harming Developmentally Best
- Unfortunately we have seen a number of students who have been bullied in school, where school officials did nothing to stop the process.
- For children, complex techniques or powerful strikes are not needed to handle such situations. A solid stance and the ability to respond confidently diffuses most situations. In Aikido, teaching this solidity is the first order of business. Then simple techniques to escape are taught.
- Aikido is particularly good self-defense for children as they are trained to not harm the attacker. Many cases have resulted in the children becoming friends afterwards.

Health Friendships/Peaceful Conflict Resolution

- Children are all working together to learn how to defend themselves without harming others. The goal is profoundly ethical, and working with other children in this setting creates a healthy environment which children absorb.
- Children sometimes develop interpersonal issues during class, and this is an ideal setting to show how Aikido training resolves conflicts peacefully.
