How your child can benefit from martial arts

Kids Martial Arts training with John Donehue Jiu Jitsu & MMA could save your child’s life, but not in the way you’re probably thinking.

There’s no question that kids martial arts training will give your child self-defence skills that could save your child’s life at some point, but the biggest enemy your child faces is not some evil person lurking around the corner.

The enemy most children face, every single day, is far more devious; it can rob them of a happy and healthy childhood and even prevent them from becoming successful as adults. This enemy is a lack of confidence, and it will often present the following symptoms:

Bad grades
Getting into trouble
Disrespectful attitude with others
Laziness around the house
Trouble making friends
Shyness
Getting into fights

Our kids martial arts program helps kids become more confident and put them on the right path, regardless of how hopeless the situation might have seemed initially.
