Why does my child need Martial Arts?

When practicing Martial Arts, certain attributes are brought about the student.  Discipline, Integrity, Respect.
 
Discipline-The child is taught to always behave no matter where they are.  In school, at home, in any and all social setting.
 
Integrity-The child is taught to never lie, cheat or steal.
 
Respect-The child is taught to always listen, pay respect, help others and be nice.
 
Here at New York Martial Arts Academy we firmly believe in bringing about these attributes in our children's program.
