More Thank Martial Arts – We Build Character
According to local news, recent international education results have raised some concerns about Australian students.
Australian students continue to perform reasonably well internationally but latest PISA results also indicate declining academic performance and classroom behaviour to be at the highest compared to other students across the world.
At EMA, we started to think…
What if we started to help our students think about who they are becoming?
We believe martial arts can be so much more than simply kicks, punches and defending yourself.
Our programs help children develop:
- Focus – learning to concentrate, listen and stay present at home, school and life.
- Discipline – understanding that progress comes from consistent focus, effort and practise.
- Resilience – realising that facing challenges, making mistakes and getting back up is the path to success.
- Respect – learning to have self respect, respect for other is important in life.
We teach children that being strong is not just about how hard they can hit.
- It’s about having self control to know NOT to hit.
- It’s about listening when someone is speaking.
- It’s about helping others.
- It’s about taking responsibility for your actions.
- It’s about having the courage to do the right thing, even when its difficult and no one is watching.
