Protect Your Child With Martial Arts


Did you know that a child is reported abducted or missing every 40 seconds in the United States and that most potential abductors make their first contact with the children they abduct within one-quarter of a mile from their homes? It is now more important than ever to start (or continue) giving your children the tools they need to protect themselves:


Never leave young children unattended anywhere and have older children practice a buddy system with their peers. Teach your children their full name, your name, your address, and telephone number. Teach them how to dial and use 911 or your equivalent emergency number. Teach your children about strangers, to never talk to strangers, and to never go near strangers.


Give your children the confidence, strength, skills, and mental awareness they need to defend themselves if they ever find themselves in a shady situation with a stranger or someone they know – enroll them in a martial arts class. It can make all the difference. Training martial arts can give your children four essential skills that will help them defend themselves against a possible abduction but also help them in other areas of their lives. Read on to find out more:


Martial Arts Increases Confidence. Martial arts can help your children increase their confidence by giving them the skills and practice needed to tune with their minds and bodies. They will begin to understand their actions and options and themselves as a whole. Martial arts training also gives children the skills and abilities they need to know that they can defend themselves if the need arises. This confidence in their abilities carries over into all aspects of their lives. Confidence in themselves and their lives helps them become less likely to fall prey to the effective persuasions of potential abductors. Confident children appear to be (and are) strong individuals and are less likely to become victims of all forms of violent acts.


Martial Arts Increase Strength. Martial arts training uses the entire body during each session. When practicing martial arts, your children will be conditioning their whole bodies to become stronger and more physically fit. If they are physically fit, they increase their chances of fighting off or getting away from a potential abductor. Furthermore, regular physical exercise can help decrease your children's chances of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.


Martial Arts Teach Self-Defense Skills. Rest assured, martial arts training doesn't focus on combat and fighting. It does, however, teach skills that your children can use for self-defense should the need arise. The various skills taught in martial arts can give your children the knowledge they need to handle many situations and the peace of mind you need to know that your children are trained to protect themselves.  


Martial Arts Improve Mental Awareness. Training martial arts is not a mindless activity. It requires complete concentration and focus at all times. This concentration will also carry over to all parts of your children's lives to help them be more aware of themselves and their surroundings. They will be less likely to "zone out" and be caught off guard in potentially harmful situations.

Learn Meditation Quiet Reflection: Renew Your Spirit for Life Modern alternative medicine and holistic healers believe in the power of the energy that flows through our bodies. This energy radiates from our minds as well. It is believed to be the dominant form of transportation for our body’s nervous system to communicate. Breathing techniques, music, aromas, and candle therapy are all ways we utilize the opportunities to reflect on our day, allow our mind to rest, and replenish itself for further use. However, the great benefit of meditation is the mind’s ability to transform itself into a vehicle for higher awareness. Meditation is a way for us to become aware that there is more to our being than just our physical activity. We have so much more potential locked away in our minds, resources that we never tap into until we have the chance to quiet the mind, quiet our surroundings and open the door to the possibilities we do not examine on a day-to-day basis.   Our spirit is the rea...

 What is meditation and how do I meditate? Meditation is a group of mental training techniques. You can use meditation to improve mental health and capacities and also to help improve physical health. Some of these techniques are very simple, so you can learn them from a book or an article; others require guidance from a qualified meditation teacher. WHAT IS MEDITATION Most techniques called meditation include these components: You sit or lie in a relaxed position. You breathe regularly. You breathe in deep enough to get enough oxygen. When you breathe out, you relax your muscles, so your lungs are well emptied but without straining. You stop thinking about everyday problems and matters. You concentrate on some sounds, words you repeat, images, abstract concepts, or feelings. Your whole attention should be pointed at the object you have chosen to concentrate on. If some foreign thoughts creep in, you stop this foreign thought and go back to the object of meditation. The meditation ...

  Train Like a Warrior Unleash Your Inner Strength and Resilience Introduction In our younger years, many of us engaged in exercise training, whether it was organized sports or simply playing games with friends. As adults, however, our lives become increasingly hectic, leaving little time for our own workouts. We find ourselves running errands, taking care of our families, and juggling work responsibilities, often neglecting our own physical fitness. It's no wonder that we start to notice unwanted weight gain and a decline in our overall health. But fear not, there is a solution – training like a warrior. The Athlete Training Paradigm During our school years, those of us involved in athletics had the luxury of focusing solely on our sport. We trained for several hours each day, had meals prepared for us, and enjoyed ample recovery time. Some even had the opportunity to pursue their sport at a collegiate or professional level, receiving expert guidance and support. However, for the ...
