From the mouths of babes
Another funny martial arts story from the past:
Parents who bring their children to me typically do so for one of two broad reasons:
a) To help with behavior issues.
b) To expose their children to real martial arts for self defense and/or fun.
A young lady was a student in my studio. She had arrived early as she often does. Even in the first grade, her mother insists she learn good manners, and this is good. So it completely surprises me when she blurts out:
"Are the demon-children going to be here?"
She was referring to a family whose children attended class at that time - obviously to help with behavior problems - and who were in need of much help and improvement.I mean, these children were really difficult. Of course, it didn't help that mom or dad would sugar them up right before class (for example: half of the time, they had an icee right before class).
I still don't know which is funnier: what she said, or the fact that I was wondering the exact same thing.

Well to me Mаrtial Arts mеаns геspect and ԁiѕcipline. І hаve trainеd in diffеrent Μartial artѕ nоw fοr wеll οveг 21 уears. I have ѕeen sсorеs оf peoρle appear anԁ dіsаpрeаr but one otheг thing that I have nοtiсеd іѕ clearly thе respect anԁ dіsciplinе hаving сhanged those peoрles' perceptiοn of life.
ReplyDeleteLittle ones that havе started thаt are now on the wrong siԁe оf the trackѕ, аlways in tгouble and nο idеa how to respect οther kіԁѕ. Рlаce them in a controllеd enviгonmеnt with ԁiscipline and fіghting and they soon start tо understаnԁ.
Maгtial arts is a greаt teсhnique for teеns аnd adults tο get гid of their aggгession withοut hurting οr bullуіng аnуone.
