We have many parents confessing that their kids performing brilliantly in their academic as well as sports and general life with the help of Karate-Do training.

We arrange regularly KATA & KUMITE competitions for kids to encourage them and we are proud to have kids Karate-Do Champions in our club. We have the youngest BLACKBELT in our club who has attained the rank at the age of 10 years and he has been a winner of many Karate-Do championships. The children have lots of energy and we divert their energy for development. We have often seen that children imitate martial art films of Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee or demonstrations of martial arts on television through the various serials and cartoons. If a child shows an interest in martial arts there is a question which comes to one's mind, which can be as follows:

What benefits will your child receive from karate training?

SELF DEFENSE
Karate was created and developed for self defense. Our primary aim at Japan Karate-Do Nobukawa-Ha Shito-Ryu Kai-India (Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Academy of India) is to teach our students those self-defense skills. We develop these from the most basic level, teaching awareness and stressing that they should try to avoid confrontation wherever possible. It is also explained that these skills are only to be used in self-defense, and should never be used in an offensive manner. Karate is never to be used for instigating violence, only in the prevention of harm to one's self or family.

PHYSICAL FITNESS
WithJapan Karate-Do Nobukawa-Ha Shito-Ryu Kai-India (Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Academy of India) your child can enjoy regular exercise in a friendly and encouraging environment. Karate can also help improve a child's co-ordination and flexibility. We are aware that a child's body is still growing, and therefore their training is tailored so that there are no exercises which would be dangerous to their physical development.

GAINS SELF-CONFIDENCE, RESPECT AND SELF DISCIPLINE
Incorporated into our training is a striving towards positive personal attributes such as discipline, self control, patience, confidence and respect. The grading system is a great tool for encouraging goal-driven achievements and improving self-confidence; whilst the higher grades are a reminder of how one should always keep striving to improve. AtJapan Karate-Do Nobukawa-Ha Shito-Ryu Kai-India (Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Academy of India) we encourage the junior grades to look up to the higher grades and we expect the senior grades to look after and set an example to the lower grades. Respect for one another, and ourselves, is an important part of our ethos.

BEHAVIOR ISSUES
Karate is a great way to help your child build respect, both for themselves and for the people around them. Students are encouraged to respect and look after each other, and they are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions, especially when training with a partner. The grading system encourages focus, as each child strives to attain their next grade. All our belts are earned through hard work, so when your child receives their next grade they will have gained something they can be truly proud of.

FUN ACTIVITY
As well as the positive physical and mental attributes it is important that our students have fun whilst training. Karate is an enjoyable activity that gets children away from the television and computers and doing something more constructive whilst still having fun!

PARENTS
Parents play an important role in the development of their children, hence they should take interest and co-ordinate with the Karate Instructor for the betterment of the kids. Without parent co-operation it is impossible to develop a child.
