Responsibilities, and personal goals, and they will have the determination and belief in themselves to make those improvements. This boosts their self-esteem and allows them to tackle challenges with a positive mindset.
At Gannon's Martial Arts – Preston, we understand the challenges that children face in today's society. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where children can learn and grow while developing important life skills. Our children's martial arts classes are not only focused on physical fitness and self-defence, but also on character development and personal growth.
Each class is fast-paced and action-packed, ensuring that children stay engaged and excited about their training. Our experienced instructors ensure that each child receives personalised attention and instruction based on their individual pace and readiness. We believe in positive recognition, reward, and reinforcement for effort, skill, courtesy, sportsmanship, and respectful treatment of others.
Through martial arts training, children develop self-confidence and self-esteem through a step-by-step process. They learn significant values such as discipline, respect, perseverance, and integrity. These values are not only applicable within the martial arts class but also in school, sports, arts, and social settings outside of class.
Our programme also includes practical anti-bullying lessons, equipping children with the skills and confidence to stand up against bullies verbally, mentally, and physically. We believe that self-defence goes beyond physical techniques and encompasses mental and emotional resilience as well.
Parents often see a significant positive change in their children after joining our classes. Increased focus, confidence, and the ability to engage with peers and authority figures are just a few of the improvements that parents notice. Children also develop a strong sense of determination, perseverance, and follow-through, which are crucial skills for success in any area of life.
Above all, our martial arts classes instil a sense of increased self-worth in children. They learn to appreciate their abilities and strengths while acknowledging areas for improvement. This positive self-image enables them to tackle challenges with resilience and a sense of purpose.
