How Self Defense and Karate Assists Self Discipline For Achieving Goals in Hoboken NJ

As a parent I want my daughter to grow up, do well in school and eventually be a successful man.  Of course that is top priority, but more so I want her to know how to defend herself.  Because if someone is in-confident when physically or verbally attacked, then there academics will go out the window.

Still think I’m full of it.  Let me give you a perfect example.  Let’s say your son or daughter is a straight A student. Their academic achievements are headlining them towards Harvard University.  Any parent would be incredibly proud of their child, just one thing.  Their child has no confidence  in their lives except for education, they have limited confidence.  Now picture a bully picking on your child and says to your son/daughter “after school today at 3 o’clock I’m gonna beat you up”.  Do you think honestly your child can focus on their school work anymore?  What if this continues to go on day after day, then what happens to their grades and ticket to Harvard?  No Harvard and no straight A’s anymore, that’s what happens.  The reason is because your child will be living in fear on a daily basis, and that fear will prevent their mind from learning.

The type of confidence my students develop here will stop any type of bullying.  If that bully tells them at 3 o’clock their gonna kick your child’s butt, my student will get right up out of their seat and simply say with conviction “why wait till 3 o’clock, let’s do it right now”.  That confidence will throw any bully off, and the end result is your child won’t be picked on and their mind will be free to learn and achieve any goal.
