At the Jinenkan Dojo we’re determined to show each young student the wonderful potential that lies within their self. From day one and into their teens, children experience so much and are affected by all that goes on around them. At any moment in a child’s life, decisions can be made which can mold their character for years to come. It is critical that young people have a rock solid support network of mentors and peers who consistently highlight positive ethics and principles, self-confidence, goal setting and integrity. Quality instruction in the martial arts is just that.
During the early stages of training, young students are taught the foundations which make a quality martial artist. Conflict mediation, anger management, verbal boundary setting and non-violent resolution to all of life’s conflicts are promoted. We teach children to identify and avoid problems, rather than face problems head on to knock them down. In today’s world, the most insignificant argument can lead to catastrophe and it’s our responsibility to safe-guard our young ones mentally, emotionally and physically. At the Jinenkan Dojo children learn the necessities of patience and a calm mind while understanding the means to physically stop or evade trouble before it happens.
“In my opinion, her dedication to the Dojo is the most important challenge my seven year old daughter has at this time. I can honestly say that her time spent there gives Brittany a better understanding of life and the importance of achievement which will ease the burdens that come along with entering each stage of life, from childhood through adulthood. I truly believe that the Dojo has improved the quality of life for my child and entire family.”
Mr. Tom Carroll, Police Officer, Town of Kent, Kent, New York, parent of student
BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS FOR TEENS
Going into the teenage years can be the most confusing and trying time of a person’s life. The challenges that today’s young adult faces can be extremely tough. At the Jinenkan Dojo we understand the paradigms of a young adult quite well. We identify with the challenges they face daily and provide them with the abilities to create opportunity from those challenges. Training at our Center is not just training for defense or discipline; it is training for what counts most in life. Young students are consistently working toward tempering their minds, bodies and emotions while learning the skills of self-control, perseverance and tolerance for other people. All while being introduced to a foreign language and spectacular history.
A Program designed specifically to meet the needs of today’s teenager, the Junior Adult program follows the same curricula as the Adult programs while educating young adults on the importance of anger management, peer pressure and conflict avoidance. This is an exciting and fun class which addresses very serious issues for today’s young adults.
