“The family that trains together, remains together!”
In the busy day-to-day, parents often drive their child to a class or activity and then have to sit or wait in the car. Wouldn’t it be nice if they could also use that time for their own benefit? At Innovative Martial Arts Academy, we offer family martial arts classes. Now parents don’t just have to sit and watch—they can participate in a class alongside their children.
Forms Bonds
Emotional bonds between family members can strengthen when they do an activity together. When every family member is involved in the same activity, like martial arts, they have a lot more in common. Maybe this means there is lots of talk at the dinner table about martial arts, or maybe on movie night, you decide to watch a martial arts movie! This new activity can bring the family closer!
Exercise
We know the importance of physical activity for children and adults. Often it is hard to find the time for yourself when you are shuttling the kids to their activities. How nice would it be for the entire family to get together? Not only will it save time, but it will be fun too!
Improves Performance
Training together not only brings you closer together, but it’s also a great motivator. If you or your children are struggling with a particular move, having a family member’s help might lead to faster mastery. Anything is possible when your family is by your side cheering you on!
Relieves Stress
Exercise relieves stress! Going into the dojo with your family and getting to throw punches and kicks is a great way to release some of the stress from your day-to-day life.
Helps Set Goals
Having your family by your side as you work towards achieving your goals is a great motivator. Family members can cheer on each other as they reach the next belt. Is there really a greater feeling than having your children see you work hard and achieve your goals and vice versa?
Builds Self-Defense Techniques
The family that trains together can defend themselves together! In today’s crazy world, wouldn’t it be nice to know that you and your family know self-defense moves and could use them if needed?
