Martial Arts makes a great choice for academic excellence.

Studies have shown that physical activity can have a positive effect on academic performance in children, particularly in areas like concentration and critical thinking skills. One study found that students who participated in physical education classes at least three times per week were more likely to achieve higher grades than those who did not participate regularly. Additionally, increased physical activity amongst school-aged children has been linked to improved cognitive functioning, improved attention span and improved mental health. Research suggests that increased physical activity can lead to an overall improvement of student's self-esteem levels which is beneficial for their academic achievement as well.

Not only can martial arts classes help your student’s health and make new friends, but it can also improve their grades/ cognitive abilities! The benefits of a structured program for students are numerous and warrant a much broader discussion.
