Is it okay to force my child to do martial arts?

June 8, 2020 by lvshaolin Leave a Comment

Yes it's ok to force your child to do martial arts in the same way it's ok for you to force your child to brush their teeth or to eat their vegetables. If you believe that a 5 year old is capable of making adult decisions about what is best for themselves, then you should let your child quit going to school the first time the say that they don't want to go.

An essential rule of parenting that everybody should know is that lessons should be taught through examples and not by words. That means that if we want our children to fully nurture a certain trait, we should aim first to develop that trait in ourselves.

More than ten years working as a martial arts professor has allowed me to discover an amazing feature in children. Children will learn the things you expect from them. In a sense, there's an innate feeling of wanting to meet their parents' expectations of them. This isn't necessarily a bad thing or a good thing, that's just how it is. But parents can benefit from using this correctly.

Pleasing a Child at All Costs

Another thing I've discovered as a martial arts professor is that some of the parents that bring their children to my classes coexist with two very harmful beliefs. They may want the best for their children in terms of values. They want their children to be confident, respectful, disciplined and prepared to fight this dangerous world. Yet, they eventually fall prisoners of these beliefs – even when they could be harming their children by doing so.

These two internal beliefs are:

* The belief that their child should never be angry at them.
* The belief that they should always please them and never say "no."

Not all parents are like this though. I have encountered many centered parents during the years. Parents who know that sometimes, they have to be the enemy and force their child to do something for their own good. But other parents don't get that. They spend their life pleasing their children and never really expecting anything from them. The lack of parental expectations in children certainly isn't a good thing.

"I just don't want to force him"

I've had very interesting conversations with parents like this over the years. When they come and say that their child doesn't want to keep coming to my classes or that the process is too long and their child will not benefit from it. Conversations with these type of child-pleasing parents usually go something like this:

"Listen, I didn't bring my child today because he said that he didn't want to come."

"Seriously? And why didn't you bring him anyways?" I add.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand your point. He said he didn't want to come and I just don't want to force him."

"Okay, but I'm sure that you force him to do other things that he maybe doesn't want to do," I say. "I'm very sure that you force him to eat vegetables and to wake up early to go to school, right?"

"Sure, but it's not the same thing." That's a response I hear very often.

"I think they're the same thing. I don't think that they're different things at all. Don't you think that this is also important for him? Here he learns about discipline, resilience, respect, and self-defense. I believe that those things are also important for a child to learn."

"It will take her too much time"

Another conversation I usually have with parents like this goes something like this:

"I don't think I should commit my daughter to a three-year program. She's too young for that and it will take her too much time."

Sometimes parents are missing the logic of their argument. I answer calmly and respectfully to them by pointing out how that is a very flawed argument.

"Okay, I understand, but I have a question for you. Is your daughter going to school?" That's a question I like to ask.

"Of course," is what follows every time.

"Well, then that means that you think that education is something valuable. Valuable enough to make your child commit to it for a long time just to be prepared for the real world in the future."

"Of course I do. But what does all of that have to do with karate lessons?"

"Everything!," I say. "Martial arts are another form of education for your daughter. A kind of education that she won't get from the traditional school setting. The lessons she will learn here will have a tremendous impact on her life."

"I guess, but I think it's a little different." This is the good old typical response I get most of the time.

"It's not different at all. We're talking about the school system, right? That means that she will go to school for almost twelve years of her life – without counting college. And there will obviously be days where you'll have to explain to her the reasons why she has to go to school, even when she doesn't want to. It's the same for this. Karate serves as a way for her to be disciplined and to commit to goals. And I believe that's an important trait of any well-functioning adult. I've heard many people say that they wish their parents would've kept them motivated every time they wanted to drop something. She might not know what she wants, but that's what parents are for, to guide their children. To give them valuable opportunities even when they don't want them."

If You Have Never Been Hated By Your Child You Have Never Been A Parent

Parents aren't supposed to be their child's best friend. They are supposed to be their mentors in life, they should be the ones guiding them and giving them the tools to prosper, because if they don't do that, who will?

I'm pretty sure that this concept might sound rough to many parents. Many others may have stopped reading a long time ago. We need to be clear about the role of parents in a child's life. 

A parent must:

  • Teach them what's important, not what feels good.
  • Encourage them not to be quitters.
  • Tell them about the value of commitment

Children might not like this, but parents must insist on these lessons.

The practice is the best example. How are you supposed to teach children the value of discipline and commitment if you always let them quit whenever they're not feeling entertained? Has any creditor ever told you it's okay to stop paying them if it isn't fun? I don't think so.

After a decade of dealing with families, I can honestly say one thing. The parents that commit the most to their child's development, even when their kid complains, are the ones that create successful men and women. These types of parents get rewarded with sons and daughters that can commit to themselves and to their friends and family.

The thought of a child like that should spark something inside every parent, and it's definitively something to remember every time they walk up to a martial arts class.

Will enrolling my child in martial arts class make them more violent?

June 1, 2020 by lvshaolin Leave a Comment

Under the right instructor, martial arts classes can achieve the exact opposite in your child. Martial arts training for kids is more about learning how to be more self-disciplined and self-confident. Of course, there are schools out there who promote aggression, but you want to avoid these schools by thoroughly vetting the instructor before joining.

The Instructor Plays A Key Role.

Fortunately, for the most part, most martial art schools that I have attended and visited are wonderful places that push the idea of martial arts as a vehicle for self-discipline.

The most important thing you can do is talk to the instructors or school owners to get a feel for their vibe. check with the gym manager/owner to find out their values and observe how people interact. Within 5 minutes You’ll get a pretty good idea about their core beliefs and you'll know whether if its the right environment for your child.


If your child is already hitting others, we are NOT interested in teaching your child to hit harder or with more accuracy. We have encountered this problem frequently over the years. Aggressiveness is not necessarily a bad thing. It is, however, a characteristic that must be honed and developed properly. With the right attitude and mindset, martial arts can help a child develop discipline, focus, confidence, and most importantly, a place to channel the aggression constructively. The result? We have had major success in the past in changing this type of behavior.

Let me tell you how...

How We Address The issue

First, we address the issue by building a close relationship with your child.

Let’s face it…This relationship is what allows us to have some influence on your child.

So hang on while I explain...
Your child will start to think about their actions before hitting others only if they have a real fear of disappointing the instructors. OK, let me repeat that…This fear of disappointing us is one of the best incentives to stop the behavior. Of course, if they don't care what we think then we cannot help them.

Secondly, we address the issue is calling them out in class.

No one likes to be in the spotlight but, if your child is hitting others, they need to feel some negative social pressure from their friends in class. As you already know, peer pressure is 10 times more powerful than receiving guidance from an authority figure. We do this in front of their peer group to try and change their behavior.

Sparring

Finally, the best way for your child to learn not to hit others is through learning empathy for others.

Your child will participate in a martial arts drill called sparring. When kids don protective equipment and defend themselves against another child who is trying to hit them, it is called sparring. Consequently, your child will get to experience what it is like to get hit.

Let me explain...

Getting hit is an invaluable experience that is necessary for learning real empathy. Truly, as your child learns more techniques and improves in skill, they start to realize that they could hurt another person. Unless they are a sociopath, the hitting stops.

Aggressive vs Violence

Of course, we remind students daily that martial arts techniques are only to be used for self-defense. Ultimately, It takes some time to change your child. They're not going to change in 1 day. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, martial arts training can give your child real results.

Now being aggressive and being violent is not the same thing.

If the child is aggressive, martial arts can be great for channeling that aggression, how to recognize it in someone else and, how to deal with it. Martial systems are perfect for that.

If, however, the child is violent, he/she doesn't need martial training. That child needs therapy and possibly medication. There is something deeper affecting this child and needs to be addressed.

Like anything else, it depends on how it is taught. Kids don’t have magic buttons that turn them into homicidal maniacs if only you can provide the right trigger. That would be a robot.

However, bullies are taught and not born. A small minority of instructors fit the Cobra Kai model and can turn impressionable youngsters into overly aggressive bullies. Now not all martial arts instructors are like that. The majority use martial arts to teach discipline, confidence, morals, and ethics.

Now, some kids enjoy the competitive side of martial arts and channel aggressiveness into the sport aspects. It's what drives them to become better and better. Aggressive isn’t always negative, so you have to be careful using the term.

Empathy and Camaraderie

Of course, every martial arts school is going to be different.

There is some martial arts school the fosters a sense of community while others will foster a competitive environment. a more aggressive attitude. You want to avoid places that aggression

I grew up in martial arts and personally, I have zero desire to go out and test my skill on the street. I have no desire to hurt anybody. That's not to say that I don't enjoy sparring or hard contact with other martial artists. Sparring is one of my most favorite parts of martial arts. Honestly, after a hard session of sparring a lot of my stress and anxiety have disappeared and all of my aggression that had build up through the week is gone.

Although this is just my perspective on martial arts, I'm 100% sure that everyone at the kung fu academy feels the same way.

11 Incredible Ways Martial Arts for Children Boosts Their Self-Confidence

January 7, 2020 by lvshaolin

There is a wealth of benefits for kids that train in martial arts. Martial arts teaches them how to stand up for them self, improve their leadership skills,  teaches them how to embrace failure, but most of all, training in the martial arts boost their confidence.

Kids today have much to learn about recreation. Most of the recreational activities they enjoy are online and on their electronic devices. This often leads them to be lazier with activities that don’t involve any electronics.

Parents seek to transform this attitude into something positive, and martial arts hold that transformative power. Martial arts have a lot of positive impacts on the life of your child. This makes it a great choice if you want your kids to explore the world outside electronics.

Most parents have doubts about martial arts for children. They often fear the impact it will have on their minds if they think they’re not good enough. We’re here to tell you how martial arts can boost your children’s self-confidence through these 11 ways.

1. Teaches Them to Stand Up for Themselves

There are many situations where your child will need to stand up for themselves. These often manifest in the form of someone talking down on them. Teachers telling your kids they’re wrong despite them thinking otherwise is another form this takes.

When this happens, you want your child to stand up and tell the other person what’s on their mind. Martial arts help with that by teaching your kids it’s okay to go against the popular opinion. What’s important is that they’re respectful in addressing the situation.

2. Helps them Deter Bullies

Bullying is still prevalent despite the efforts of schools to diminish it. Your child can be a bully’s target without you knowing about it. They often fear telling others as they feel that people will look down on them for not being able to defend themselves.

Enrolling them in martial arts for children can help them deter bullying. Martial arts are a great solution to stop bullying in schools. This is because children learn how to defend themselves and how to handle themselves in a fight if it comes to that.

3. Improves Their Leadership Skills

Children have a common mindset among themselves. They often find it easier to become a follower than a leader. Enrolling your child in martial arts helps them change this mindset by giving them indirect leadership training.

This is because they learn the importance of teamwork during their training. This also teaches them the importance of having someone lead a team.

They’re exposed to examples of leaders in the form of their instructors. They use them as examples to follow when a leading figure is missing in a group.

4. Corrects Their Posture

Poor posture is a factor contributing to why your children are shy. They’re often embarrassed by how they look because it’s different from everyone else. Martial arts will help them correct their posture.

This often happens during training. They do different stretches to make their joints more flexible. Doing this also improves their postures as they continue with training.

5. Martial Arts Show Them Everyone Is the Same

Kids are often shy towards certain individuals. This is because they put them on a pedestal based on certain factors that they think set them apart. This can encourage toxic behavior as these people abuse your kids when they detect the special treatment they receive from them.

Martial arts teach kids a valuable lesson about seeing everyone as equals. This will remove that mindset from your children.

6. It Has a Way of Showing Kids to Embrace Failure

Failure is another thing that makes children shy. They fear to look like a fool in front of people, especially their peers and people they idolize. This often causes them to miss great opportunities for a better future in school.

Enrolling them in martial arts is a great way to remove this. Instructors tell them that being perfect isn’t something to achieve. They teach them that progress is more important than perfection, and that failure is a part of progress.


7. Helps them Focus on Important Matters

Distraction often results in insecurity. Children have a great time doing something until they’re distracted. They often shrink when faced with a crowd, and martial arts will fix that.

Focus is among the seven skills martial arts develop. This will help your children focus on what makes them happy. This will help them achieve greatness in public.

8. Teaches Them Incredible Self Defense

Children often lack the confidence to go out alone to enjoy outdoor activities. This is often because of neighborhood bullies and other dangerous people.

Knowing martial arts will help them feel safer when they’re outside to do activities.

9. Teaches Them Self Awareness

Kids often think they look good when they look awkward in reality. This embarrasses them when they find out how they look from others. This then discourages them from doing it again even if they enjoy it.

An underrated skill learned in martial arts is self-awareness. This helps students learn how their footing is wrong and such. It will also help them know how they look when doing their activities.

10. Great Way to Fight Obesity

Children’s weight is another thing that makes them shy. Kids make the weight of a person a big deal for whatever reason. They often bully someone for being fatter even if it’s only slighter than others.

Martial arts are a great way to keep your kids in shape. The training involved helps them burn excess fat from their bodies. This leads to an easier body shaping process when they grow up.

11. Develops Their Mental Fortitude

Martial arts help not only strengthen the body. Your children also strengthen their minds with each session they attend. This happens when they learn about discipline during training.

They learn that their actions have consequences while they’re training. This makes them aware of their responsibilities when they do something. They also learn that those are their only responsibilities, nothing more.

This takes a lot off of a child’s mind. Doing this strengthens their mental state and helps them become a well-adjusted person.

Here Are The Top Ten Benefits Of Martial Arts For Kids

1. Build Confidence

Quite a lot that goes into a typical martial arts practice. It all contributes to the way that they build confidence.

Soon, kids learn to control their bodies. They learn to manage the force they use, and the movements they want.

Confidence comes from competence. Once they get a feel for being good at something they usually will not want to stop.

Each of these factors into building confidence. A martial arts practice can teach your kids that they can overcome anything. They can push through any hardship.

Martial arts also relieves stress, which can ease anxiety. This too contributes to a child's self-confidence.

2. Build Strength

Classes at our academy can be especially rewarding for kids who struggle with team-oriented sports. Many kids need an outlet for their energy, something that rewards their efforts.

And sometimes team sports just don't cut it. They need a productive outlet that's more tailored to their needs.

Moreover, if your kid has struggled with other sports in the past, they should consider martial arts. They'll build strength and get exercise. So on top of these benefits from martial arts, they can still enjoy the benefits of regular exercise, like healthy habits, endorphin release, and stress relief.

3. Improve Self Control

Learning moves takes practice, repetition, and perseverance.  You have to learn to balance the right amount of force with direction and coordination.

Having to stay still is one of the hardest things for a young child to do. The attention stance you see in the military is a great way to get kids used to the idea of staying still.

All of this puts together improves a child's self-control.

4. Boosts Focus

Has your child been diagnosed with ADHD? Martial arts can be especially good for kids with ADHD and other attention problems. It boosts the ability to focus and follow through with an action or routine. Kids who practice martial arts can focus for longer periods than those who don't practice.

5. Improves Street Awareness

Specifically, kids who learn martial arts pay better attention to the surrounding environment. This can make the difference between safety and danger. Wouldn't you love for your child to pay attention if they're in a bad neighborhood, or a sketchy person approaches them?

They learn to trust their intuition and avoid dangerous scenarios. This alone can help keep them safe.

6. It Teaches Respect

Most martial arts are based on a foundation of respect. Respect for the room, for the teacher, for themselves and the environment. Even when lessons are over, kids who practice martial arts can bring it into the real world around them.

Furthermore, you might worry that martial arts will make your kid more violent, but that's simply not the case. They learn to respect the world around them, not react violently to it.

7. Teaches Goal Setting And Perseverance

Specifically, if a student wants to learn a particular routine, they have to break the set down into small motions and actions. But these routines build on top of each other. It's the same way you need to learn how to add fractions before you can learn to multiply them.

Hence, if a kid wants to learn the entire routine, they have to learn to break it down. This transfers over into real-world goal setting and perseverance skills. A child can look back on practicing a particular routine and how all the small steps got them to their goal.

8. Builds Discipline

To get good at martial arts, it takes practice, perseverance, and discipline. Practicing martial arts builds valuable skills. Kids can transfer these skills into other areas of their lives.

For example, discipline can help them push through hard times. It's there when they're struggling with school, other skills, or friendships.

Discipline can get them past the hurdle when they learn to apply for scholarships and college. They will learn to keep going, no matter what.

9. Improves Self-Defense

Of course, most parents enroll their kids in martial arts to teach them self-defense, and this is a good way to go. Kids who practice martial arts are better at defending themselves.

So if you want your kid to know what to do if they're in danger, enroll them in martial arts. It'll help them stay calm in a crisis, and get to safety.

Especially with classes for younger children, martial arts teaches tactics to avoid dangerous areas and people. But they also teach nonviolent skills that help a kid who may be dealing with bullies at school.

10. Improves Balance, Posture, And Coordination

Your child starts building moves slowly, piece by piece. It requires balance to move smoothly and slowly from one move into another.

Next, your child will learn to stand up straight and hit their target where they're aiming. They learn to block oncoming attacks. All of this works to build a child's balance, coordination, and posture.

Martial Arts for Kids Is Loaded With Benefits

It'll instill a sense of respect and self-confidence. It'll help them defend themselves, and improve their strength, balance, coordination, and posture.

Therefore, if you want to help your kids, enroll them in a martial arts class.

Can Toddlers Learn Martial Arts?

April 4, 2019 by lvshaolin

Martial arts schools that are qualified to teach classes for kids ages 3-4 are few and far between. Martial arts classes for toddlers should focus more on developing self-confidence, and listening skills rather than combative ability.

 If you can find a school where the instructors are great with kids this age you have found a gem!

A long time ago, people would ask us "What's the youngest age you can take in as a student?" Almost always, we would reply with "At least 5 years old."

However, since then, we have turned around. We have a completely different outlook on teaching toddlers. Our opinion now is that children ages 3-4 can definitely learn the basics of martial arts. You just have to make sure your expectations are in line with their capabilities.

We recognize that your toddler has very different developmental needs than older kids. 

When we first started teaching this age group we failed terribly. We were trying to teach the class as if the children were 4-9 years old, which was a big mistake. It took us a while but through trial and error, we began to see some success. We had to tweak our curriculum and we had to tweak the time frames we would use in class.

The Secret? Break Up Class Into Sections

You see...

The key to instructing your toddler at this young age is breaking the classes into smaller sections.

So a 40-minute class is actual 4 ten minute classes strung together. Teaching in this way ensures that classes are fun and will hold the interest of a 3-year-old.

Your toddler will never get bored in our martial arts for toddlers class because we do something called disguise repetition. What that means is that there are many ways of practicing the same thing. The blocks and punches practiced in the air during warm-up can also be practiced on the heavy bag during the second section of the class.

Over time we refined this program until we know exactly what to teach and how to teach it to your toddler. It was quite the challenge but now the Little dragons martial arts program is a great success.

What To Expect When You Enroll Your Toddler Into The Martial Arts Classes For Toddlers

The same movements can be practiced against a live opponent during the obstacle course.

This technique allows your toddler to grasp every component of the class. Their confidence increases each time something new is learned.

Your toddler will develop their hand-eye coordination, balance, reaction, and motor skills.

Our school's philosophy in instructing your  toddler is that praise, encouragement, and positive reinforcement are the only things that really work.

What To Expect When You Enroll Your Toddler In Our Martial Arts For Toddlers Class

For children at a young age, we like to work on their coordination skills.

In the martial arts classes for toddlers, we use a lot of the punching mitts and work on a set pattern of various punches or blocks.

One Of The Most Fun Parts Of Martial Arts For Toddlers Class Is Learning Tumbling

The type of workout your toddler gets from tumbling can give them a foundation for life long fitness.

When they learn how to be fit as children they are more likely to remain fit as adults. As they get older they will remember that they can get a really good workout without having to lift weights or do cardio on the elliptical.

Second, the tumbling class gives your toddler flexibility.

Stretching is basically boring for toddlers. They just have to sit there and endure uncomfortable positions. But if you incorporate stretching into movement, the exercises become much more fun

Listening Skills

Thirdly, being in a tumbling class teaches listening skills. We give your toddler a routine that they have to memorize and in doing so, we force them to have to pay attention to. They must become good listeners in order to do the sequence in order.

Lastly, the tumbling class gives your toddler a great sense of balance and spatial awareness.

Balance is not just about learning to stand on one foot. There are actually many different types of balancing that humans need to master in order to be physically coordinated.

Tumbling will build all of these different types of balance skills in your toddler.

Some Of The Things Your Toddler Will Learn In Martial Arts Classes For Toddlers Are:

  • Your child will push their bodies: At this age physical coordination is an important part of their development.
  • Listening Skills: In order to do the moves your toddler will have to pay attention.
  • Your toddler will learn social skills: Every class starts off with the four things required for a polite greeting: Eye contact, a firm handshake, a smile, and an introduction

About Us

The Kawada Family


Here's the story:

I started training in martial arts as a teenager. At that time in my life, I was getting into a LOT of trouble. I was hanging out with the wrong crowd.

But wait, it didn't stop there...

Unfortunately, I was staying out late without calling. Basically, I was a juvenile delinquent. In truth, I was my parent's worst nightmare come true.

Astonishing, isn't it?

Suffice to say I owe my parents a BIG apology!

Anyway, at this time, I wasn't actively looking for the benefits that the martial arts had to offer.

Honestly, I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world to be able to actually learn this stuff. However, it was only after a few months of training that I became aware of all of the benefits that training in martial arts had to offer.

My name is Kevin Kawada and my wife’s name is Renee Kawada. Martial arts training had a remarkable positive impact on my life.

Because of this, we decided to open our own martial arts school in March of 2004. At that time we made a promise to improve the lives of all our students. Truly, we want you to experience the life-transforming experience that is martial arts.

Please come in and see our school in person! We would love to have you as our next student!

In truth, your toddler's confidence increases with each belt promotion, or each time they answer a question correctly, or when an instructor gives them a praise.  Obviously, instilling confidence in a toddler is not an easy task, but we've done it time and time again.

Question: Are there any other fees?

Answer: Yes, belt testing fees are $55 per student. Usually, belt testing is held twice a year in April and October.


This Is What People Are Saying About Our Martial Arts For Toddlers Class:


"After the trial class, I was hooked and immediately enrolled my son for a regular program."

"This is the best program to enroll your 3 - 4 yrs old toddler. I was looking for a school because I wanted to start my child early in martial arts. I quickly gave the school a call. After leaving a message, Instructor Renee immediately called me back. She gave me the details of the class and offered my son to try a class.

After the trial class, I was hooked and immediately enrolled my son for a regular program. Instructor Renee and her son Isaac are incredible! They both are very good with children and truly care about their progress.


I'm always impressed by how they are able to keep the attention of the toddlers in class. By the end of class, the toddlers have memorized the moves and are able to do a basic kicking and punching combination!

Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy definitely has a friendly and family atmosphere that is very welcoming to both new and existing students. All of the instructors are always smiling and greeting the children every time they come to class. Thank you, Instructor Kevin, Renee, and Isaac for making it a great and positive place for kids to train!"

"I love this studio! I would recommend the Las Vegas Kung Fu Academy to anyone interested in martial arts. All of the instructors are excellent with the children."

When I first enrolled my daughter, she was very shy. She was a bit reluctant to even walk on the mats. I tried to encourage her but, she would not budge. Instructor Renee saw what was going on and she approached us.


The way Instructor Renee interacted with her was just amazing. She kneeled down onto one knee and spoke to her with a kind and soft voice. Instructor Renee said, "I know it can be scary trying something like this.


But, I think you'll have a lot of fun. Do you want to stand by me? I can be your partner in class?". Instructor Renee kindly offered to hold my daughter's hand. That did the trick! She went onto the mats and did her first class. Ever since then, she is always excited and happy to come to class. Thank you, Instructor Renee!
