Martial Arts

The University of Wisconsin conducted a study in 2010 that produced positive results. They proved that martial arts is a great fit for children. The results found that martial arts training helped these children improve their physical fitness and coordination, become more social with peers and adults, and benefited from a self-esteem boost.

The study confirmed that these children made huge strides. Almost half of them improved their social skills and came out of their shell. Parents reported that their kids were more cooperative and assertive, eye contact improved, and so did play skills. Parents also said that there was less fighting and arguing, and that their children had more self confidence. Coordination also improved. The average balance time for one-legged stands jumped from 9 seconds to 19 over the course of the study.

If your child is ready for a new life or athletic challenge, please keep reading to see why Gracie is the best gym in Raleigh, NC for kids interested in learning martial arts.
