IT BOOSTS THE CHILD’S SELF-CONFIDENCE.

The most significant advantage of martial arts training is that children's self-confidence enhances through improved physique, coordination ability, personal safety, and discipline. Boosted self-confidence helps them make appropriate decisions already in their early years both at school or in various areas of their own lives.

IMPROVED PHYSIQUE. 

The positive effects of physical activity upon children have been documented in numerous studies. Physically active children have fewer chronic health problems than those mostly sitting at school or at home. Every training session consists of continuous physical activities during which all muscles, joints, and ligaments are mobilised to avoid excessive strain on the body, such as overstrengthening the bones of the fist. Although a hard fist is a Kung Fu fist, we believe in the saying: “Hit the hard with softness, and hit the soft with hardness". Our Wing Tsun Kung Fu training sessions engage the whole body and teaching children the value of good physical fitness helps them become fit, healthy adults.

IMPROVED MOTOR COORDINATION. 

In addition to moving the body and improving fitness, Wing Tsun Kung Fu training enhances motor coordination, balance, spatial perception, reflexes, etc.

ENHANCED PERSONAL SAFETY. 

The ability to defend oneself in unpleasant or potentially dangerous situations results in inner peace and equilibrium. Most of the self-defence techniques mastered during training sessions will not be necessary to deploy outside of training. Leaving the training room, the person’s raised consciousness enables them to recognise and avoid violent situations and the conflicts that they may entail as much as possible.

IMPROVED CONCENTRATION 

Improved concentration is a natural part of Wing Tsun Kung Fu training sessions. The student has to master a number of movements and techniques and focus upon their precise execution. Unsurprisingly, it also has a positive effect upon work, school and private life.

ENHANCED SELF-DISCIPLINE. 

Learning Wing Tsun Kung Fu early in life may establish a lifelong pattern in children, helping them set and achieve goals through dedication and sacrifice. Since high-level competence cannot be acquired overnight, students realise that achieving their goals requires patience, hard work, and several years of training.

SHOWING RESPECT IS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF WING TSUN KUNG FU.

 Students show respect to each other, to their instructors, and even to their school. This conveys several messages: not merely gratitude for the knowledge received, but also respect and appreciation for the skills of their peers or instructors. Wing Tsun Kung Fu teaches the practitioner to respect the age, expertise, and experience of others. Respecting those who are more experienced than the student is—and have proven it—exhibits that the student is worthy of mastering the skills of Wing Tsun Kung Fu. This respect shown towards instructors and older students also extends to relationships with older family members, colleagues, schoolmates, and teachers. During pair formation, the students greet each other with a Kung Fu greeting and a bow, which signifies the following: "I take care of you, fellow Kung Fu student".

CHILDREN BECOME CALMER. 

Due to the intensity of Wing Tsun Kung Fu training, children can relieve school-related stress and tension. Experienced martial artists are able to keep their calm outside of the training environment too. Although this inner peace is the result of several factors, it is most likely the consequence of students being exposed to stress when learning self-defence—and learning how to deal with it. The confidence gained through mastering Wing Tsun Kung Fu techniques helps maintain composure even in stressful situations.

WING TSUN KUNG FU IS FUN AND FULL OF JOY!

The training of the children requires a lot of attention from the instructors. Partly because young people's attention wanders easily, and their ability to concentrate upon a specific task does not last as long as that of adults. However, they possess other qualities that make them more capable of mastering Wing Tsun. They are open-minded, honest, and able to accept statements that they themselves have not yet been convinced of. This is why it is vital that they learn in good hands with competent instructors. The instructors of the children's group in Miskolc participate in regular training sessions at the central training facility in Kecskemét, thus ensuring they pass on competence of sufficient quality to the younger generation. All our instructors are students themselves!
