Mighty Mite and Children's Program
Children love to imitate what they see. Many children see the moves of martial arts on TV and then imitate them at home. Without proper instruction and realization that the moves they are doing can be dangerous, children can sometimes hurt other children or hurt themselves. Martial arts in the movies and on television tend not to offer a true indication of what the martial arts teach children and adults. Allowing your child to receive martial arts training is laying the foundation of self-esteem and confidence for managing their life.

Designed for young minds and young bodies, our program will have your child learning about themselves and the world around them, seeing and examining the consequences of their actions in a safe, positive learning environment. Through interactive games and drills, children learn about safety, responsibility, self-improvement (Life Skills), and self-defense skills.

American children are also increasingly out-of-shape and overweight. Through martial arts, you will be teaching your child about the benefits of an active lifestyle in addition to helping them develop self respect, self control, discipline, communication, team work and focus – necessary skills in today’s competitive work environment. Through positive feedback, team and also solo work your child will learn to function effectively both alone and in groups. This program has proven to improve students’ grades, become champions in sports, as well as becoming leaders in the community and exhibiting improved behavior at home. The Meng's Martial Arts curriculum is the only sanctioned martial arts curriculum implemented by public schools in the Dayton, Ohio area.

To develop self-esteem, your child needs to succeed in progressively more challenging paths. Success is a habit that is cultivated and nurtured over time, not a natural born right. Set goals and projects before them, which are attainable, help and encourage them until they succeed. With your guidance, they will realize that they succeeded and that it was their accomplishment.

When you build a child’s self-esteem, his/her sense of self worth grows. When they can see for themselves the unique and valuable individual that they are, they can appreciate others. You must respect yourself before you can respect others. Self-defense begins with self-respect.

The martial arts teach that conflict is a fact of life – it’s how to manage conflict rather than be managed by conflict. Self-control is a hard commodity to come by; once developed it will serve your child in good as they progress in life.

A Warriors Way of Life 

 

A true warrior art, as a way of life, promotes peaceful communities through the cultivation of the personal power within each individual. Strength, resourcefulness, and responsibility replace fear, helplessness, and dependency as one meets challenges and finds solutions for them. It is one thing to shrink back docilely in terror and a different thing to choose gentleness because, having attained the skills of devastation, one has removed the fear of angering or displeasing others. Only the truly powerful, or those who have nothing to lose, can be totally gentle with a free and unhindered heart, for they are invulnerable. A warriors struggle is with oneself not with others.
