Why Surrey Jong Kim Martial Arts makes a great after school program for kids!

A parent's main concern is the raising a child who reaches their potential in life. This entails academics, mental well-being, health, social skill sets, and much more. Jong Kim Martial Arts outlines a few of the main concerns for their children are as follows:
*  academics
*  future job placement
*  bully proof
*  fitness and health
*  building friendships
*  having self worth
*  confidence
*  time management skills
*  dealing with stress and pressure
*  and much more!
Parents have a plethora of choices for after school activities.  Martial Arts in Surrey and Delta is a great choice!  It is considered, primarily, as an individual activity.  As opposed to a team sport such as soccer or basketball, in Taekwondo, a student does not have to wait for the whole team to get better before they see improvement.  A committed Surrey karate student, who applies themself, will see immediate gains in their skills.   

How Taekwondo Kids become Bully Proof?
​Bullies typically pick on classmates who they deem as a easy opportunity to have more power over.  School bullies, typically, lack self-esteem; so in turn, they challenge others kids in order to build their self worth.  We all know this is wrong, but it is a fact of life.  Through the generations, kids are guided, either, by their "good" or "bad" choices in life.

Kids Martial Arts develop confidence through Taekwondo skill improvements.  As a child sees gains in a particular kick or punch, their confidence in their self-worth respectively also increases.  This in turn, shapes a child's life to be positively influenced in his/her day to day life!  They stand taller, are more willing to interact at school, and have a perceived optimism in life in general.

As a result, Bullies see Taekwondo students as someone who will stand up for themself and move on to an easier "target."  Confidence, built from Taekwondo, permeates through their eyes.  The eyes tell you others the mental state of one's mind.  A positive outlook is intangibly present for all to see.  This is why Surrey Jong Kim Martials in Newton, BC focus so much on skill set improvement in our Taekwondo programs.

How Kids Martial Arts deal with pressures of life?
Inevitably, every day offers some forms of challenges; big or small.  Kids are no different.  They have to manage homework projects, intimidation on the playground, fostering a good friendship, learning new things academically, etc.

Taekwondo kids release a lot of stress through physical exertion through kicks and punches in an organized format.  As they sweat, they "sweat" away the tension that may have built up in that particular day.  I often tell my students to think of our Surrey Taekwondo classes as a mini vacation away from the pressures of life.  We all go on vacations to escape the tensions of workplace environment.  During martial arts classes, they focus on building new techniques and comradery.  They are encouraged from the instructor and also by their Taekwondo classmates!  They learn to feel good about themselves!

In Newton - Surrey, BC and Delta, BC, students primarily are turning to Martial Arts because they wish to not be a victim to bullies.  Another incentive is they wish to reach their potential in life!  Surrey Jong Kim Taekwondo welcomes every student to come build such true confidence.

How Kids Taekwondo fosters friendships!
Over many decades of instructing Taekwondo, I see friendship is a key component to a successful Surrey Martial Arts School.  Surrey and Delta students who attend Jong Kim Taekwondo School, experience something that has been lost in Vancouver for many decades.  Prior to 1990, the school system in Surrey and Delta, BC, was a safe place for kids of all ages.  Immediate and harsh penalties awaited school violence or intimidation by school bullies.  

A healthy Surrey Martial Arts school provides a safe environment!  Bullying is dealt with swiftly and immediately!  A great Taekwondo school should be willing to dismiss a student who engages in unacceptable intimidation towards others students.  Unhealthy behavior is dealt with by changing a student's mindset to understand the repercussions of one's negative actions.  We aim to seek the "root" of the problem and assess the best course of action for remediation of any situation.

Kids at Jong Kim Martial Arts encourage one another; which in turn, builds comradery!  Comradery in turn, builds self worth and self-confidence!

Students have built decades old friendships at our martial arts school.  They initially met during Taekwondo classes.  I once was a guest at a student's home recently.  Some 25 years prior, they befriended other students at Taekwondo in my Surrey, BC location.  When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see my old students who are still friends with one another decades later!  They all happened to be my top four senior students at that time back in 1990.  These are reasons why Surrey martial arts makes a great after school alternative for Surrey kids. 

If you wish your child to experience true meaning in their life, I welcome you to bring your child to truly experience a journey you will not regret!  The skies the limit!! We welcome children over 5 years and up to try a free class at our Newton - Surrey, BC based Jong Kim Martial Arts schools.
