Children
Our "at risk" children's program takes kids who are on the brink of getting into trouble and puts them on "the straight and narrow" by providing scholarships for them to take martial arts lessons. Over 50 psychological studies show that quality martial arts training improves the ability to focus, to concentrate, self-discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, and the ability to manage stress. Martial arts also provides positive peer influence, pro-social activity and positive leadership from the instructors. There have been many psychological studies done on the "normal" population to support these findings, but few studies have been done on the "at risk population. In the absence of these studies, anecdotal evidence by martial arts instructors throughout the U.S. attest to its beneficial effects on the "at risk" population. "Anecdotal" means evidence provided by friends, and family, as opposed to scientific evidence which comes from formal studies.
