Martial Arts training for children is more than a course in kicking and punching. It can be a catalyst to promote self-confidence, assertiveness, goal orientation, calmness, and concentration. It also teaches the child responsibility for his/her newfound skills. Warrior Spirit Martial Arts Academy would like to train your child to become a unique individual, both physically and mentally. He or she will receive the benefits of traditional Chinese Kung Fu training Wu Shen Pai and the artistic aspects of martial arts.  There is a reason why Oprah, Dr Phil, Dr Laura Schlesinger, Jillian Michaels, Tony Robbins, pediatricians, child physiologists, and educators the world over all have affirmed that training in a Martial Way such as Wu Shen Pai is one of the most valuable things you can involve your child in. It goes way beyond self defense and can help a child in nearly every aspect of their life. Training at WSMAA in Wu Shen Pai can lead to improved health and fitness, athletic enhancement, increased confidence, better concentration, better behavior, and a more courteous, well integrated student, respectful of all. WSMAA’s Wu Shen Pai training can help in all these areas. Does this sound too good to be true? It’s not. As a matter of fact, many experts agree that in this day and age of escalating childhood obesity, increased playground violence and deteriorating family structure, if you do nothing else for your child, you should make sure that they learn how to swim and they learn martial arts. Let’s discuss why. Here are some of the benefits for children to train in the traditional Martial Way of Wu Shen Pai: Self-Defense: “Practice the fight so that you don’t have to” is a phrase that is often used to describe the self-defense benefits of Wu Shen Pai training. It refers to the fact that as a child becomes more confident in their ability to defend themselves through their training in Wu Shen Pai at Warrior Spirit Martial Arts Academy, the need to defend themselves automatically decreases because they unconsciously begin to carry themselves in a more confident manner and that confidence is projected to those around them, making them less vulnerable to predatory behavior. On top of that, Wu Shen Pai training includes strategic self-defense as well as actual self-defense. Children are taught how to recognize a potentially dangerous situation and how to avoid confrontations. Athletic Enhancement: There is a reason why virtually every professional sports team in virtually every major sport supplements their training with martial arts. Our training in Wu Shen Pai offers several distinct advantages. First, it is amazingly effective in enhancing general coordination because it uses every part of the body in a balanced way. Upper body, lower body, right side, left side, forward movement, lateral movement, rotational movement, it’s all included in Wu Shen Pai training. Fitness: The three pieces of the fitness puzzle are strength, flexibility and endurance. The Martial Way of Wu Shen Pai training demands a balance between the three. Therefore, a child who trains in Wu Shen Pai will find their deficiencies greatly enhanced. Also, because of the balance in the three pieces of the fitness puzzle, they are less likely to injure themselves while participating in other athletic endeavors. Health: Wu Shen Pai training is a proven link to better health for people of all ages, but especially children for several reasons. First off, it is great exercise. But because it is fun, kids don’t mind doing it. Discussing diet and lifestyle habits with students is a part of martial arts training, so children who grow up training develop healthy habits that will stick with them for life. Concentration: Very few activities engage the mind, body and spirit more than training in the traditional Martial Way of Wu Shen Pai. It is diverse and demanding. Because of this, a child’s ability to concentrate is greatly enhanced by their training at Warrior Spirit Martial Arts Academy and this concentration tends to be easily transferable to other activities. Respect and Courtesy: Due to the fact that Wu Shen Pai teaches techniques that could be harmful to others if applied, the instructors at WSMAA are obliged to stress the importance of respect, courtesy, and restraint. It has been proven time and again that children who are skilled in Wu Shen Pai tend to be extremely respectful, considerate and composed. Confidence: Wu Shen Pai training virtually always lends to increased confidence in children for a couple of specific reasons. First of all, there are no bench sitters, every child participates and is evaluated not against others but more importantly, against their own potential. Second, the structure of Wu Shen Pai as a traditional Martial Way is built on the concept of setting children up for success by giving them a series of realistic, short term goals that they can attain quickly (colored sashes) while keeping them focused on an exciting, long term goal (Black Sash). Each time they experience success, their confidence improves until they believe that with hard work and dedication, they can accomplish just about anything.
