In a world fuelled by instant gratification; fostering independence, creating discipline and making good choices is, frankly – difficult.
Often times we seek independence while still holding certain entitlements. Or, for those choosing to enter into a sport such a martial arts, we want the quick advancement without creating the physical and mental discipline necessary to advance. It’s in our human nature to often choose easy over ‘good’ – and Safeguard Martial Arts is here to help challenge that!
Choose Solutions Over Distractions
We are inundated with distractions, mostly due to the digital devices that never leave our hands. And although we might think such a digital device offers all the solutions; finding solutions moves beyond a DIY or #lifehack social media post. Solutions truly require understanding ourselves through a journey of self-discovery, and by pushing our own physical and mental limits.
Creating Discipline With Martial Arts
As discussed in our blog post Balancing Martial Arts Training, Personal Growth and Lifestyle
Choosing martial arts as an actual artform vs. a competition, we believe, helps to create success. By placing less pressure on students to continually reign supreme over another student, you put less pressure on winning and more focus on fitness and fun. Healthy competition is great, but the demands of overtraining to achieve a victory-based goal is detrimental to both a child’s progress and their wellbeing.
We feel that creating mental and physical discipline is an intentional process, which can be achieved through martial arts training. It provides a space to learn your limits, move past them, and – in doing so, grow your mind and body accordingly.
Foster Independence by Choosing Positive Outlets
It is one thing for a teenage to seek independence by pulling away; it is another for a parent to foster independence by helping their teen choose positive outlets from which to learn and grow.
We understand the challenge parents face in raising their children in a dynamic and often contentious society. This type of atmosphere is becoming more commonplace, which makes finding positive outlets, from which to gain independence, so vitally important.
And we’re here for that!
Safeguard Martial Arts is proud to offer martial arts classes for all ages. We are here to help you and your child find balance within our martial arts training programs, while also delivering a positive distraction and caring discipline.
