OUR TEAM
Professor Laurel is a third degree Black Belt and has been a full – time Martial Arts Instructor since 2016. She is also a licensed acupuncturist and mother of teen teenage daughters.
Our team consists of serious Martial Artists who are all committed to supporting children & teenagers on their journey towards Black Belt & beyond.
We often meet children who are:
-
Generous and kind but are so shy that they have a hard time connecting with others.
-
Athletic and physically gifted but do not know how to control their energy.
-
Refuse to try anything unless they are sure they will do it perfectly.
-
Awkward and have trouble connecting with people appropriately.
-
Interested in everything but can get overly focused on digital devices and cannot shut it down.
Studies show that Martial Arts training:
- Research with adolescents and young adults examine the benefits of martial arts in teaching self-control, enhancing self-esteem, teaching a more positive response to physical challenges, and inducing greater emotional stability, self-confidence, and assertiveness.
- Martial arts provide an outlet for participants to channel energy into a productive and self-enhancing activity (Twemlow & Sacco, 1998).
- They have also been demonstrated to improve concentration and self-awareness in children (Lakes & Hoyt, 2004) and tentatively aid executive functions (Diamond & Lee, 2011), including self-monitoring and awareness (Haydicky et al., 2012, Lothes et al., 2013) and cognitive-regulation (Lakes & Hoyt, 2004).
