Senior Instructor, Children's specialist and father of two, Sifu Matthew manages the Saturday morning 9.15 am Children's Kung Fu. High IQ, well educated and traveled, Matt is the epitome of a quietly successful professional person that is a template for enduring success. Well articulated and educated, he is the type of teacher you wish your child's school had. Instructors have a significant influence on children so it is important to choose an instructor that influences your child into the right frame of mind. This is just as important as the confidence they gain from learning to deal with difficult situations.
Exposing your child into the hands of an 'authority', as a martial art teacher, tells them that you believe and value this persons opinion and teaching. This teacher will become a very important influence in your child's life in ways not immediately apparent. The education and diction, life values and problem solving, manners and bearing, that this instructor demonstrates and uses, will all be assimilated by your child, as the values to achieve success.
Bonding with your children and what they do starts early. If you are interested in their activity, not just as a spectator but as a participant shows that the activity is not just 'good for them' but the activity is good, period.
To support this one parent can train with their child free of any charges or commitments. No traps, no sigh-up. Anytime you want, any parent or grandparent that comes with the child or children, can participate in any part of the class, even if it us just the yoga style fifteen minute warm up at the beginning. Like the song, Cat's in the Cradle, if you have time and a common interest with your children and grandchildren now, the teenage and later years you will have a shared interest and past beyond the normal parent child relationship.
Perhaps you feel to old for kung fu? Well, join the club. Terry, on the right is over seventy-seven and Zed up above with his daughter Olivia is hard on sixty. Sijo is over seventy and Sifu Matthew P., is also in his six decade. They are fit because they train the techniques they can and as we do not do any jumping, rolling on the floor (mostly not) or anything foolish like breaking things, Shaolin Kung Fu for kids and adults is safe. Remember, the initial three sessions are free and without us asking for any financial details from you until you come to join.
Confidence is not easy to come by. Not bravado, not boisterousness, not aggression (as taught in many martial art schools) but quiet confidence. The Shaolin Academy teaches children and all members how to manage a conflict, be it physical, verbal, or spiritual. It is defiantly not about hitting first, but about standing your ground with the confidence that you can handle yourself, need be. Bullies, tough guys, thugs, ruffians, intimidators, or whatever, usually look for an easy mark. If you can stand up to the initial verbal onslaught without backing off, quite often, their confidence is shaken. Manage these people without threatening them or even feeling threatened! That is th Shaolin way
The way to a satisfying success has always been quiet confidence.Most conflicts arise when one believes that they have, in some way, the upper hand, and feel slighted in some way. Then, you or your child knowing that you are able to manage a physical confrontation allows you to concentrate on the implied and verbal attack with calm unafraid confidence. This, confident nature, is what the Shaolin style can teach your child!
Especially in the modern, intelligent world, all is a bit of a give and take, speak and listen. Conflict management may not be limited to physical situation. Much more likely, most conflicts that your child will face are verbal, mental or implied. Hitting, kicking, punching and aggression as the first course of action in such are more of a hindrances then help. Resorting to violence when an argument is not going your way is not a solution but an admission of limited IQ and skill.
No matter if you have a Tiny Tiger (energetic) or Cute Koala (reserved), martial art training will serve them well for the rest of their life. Sijo Robert Z was a school drop out until he achieved his Black Sash. That same year he won the European Championships and a year later retuned at age 25 to school and completed his Engineering Degree. Everything changed with his Black Belt, everything, he married that year too. We know the importance of confidence and the absence of fear! Come and see for yourself.
