TEEN KENPO
The benefits of martial arts are numerous. Focus, Self confidence, Self control, Self Defense, Concentration, just to name a few. Teenagers are quickly growing into their bodies. At this point in their life, physical conditioning such as the martial arts is a great way to build the neurological connections between the brain and muscles for better coordination and balance that will be used the rest of their life. While this is true with any sport, martial arts has one advantage, it doesn’t have to be competitive. Therefore this leads to a much more positive atmosphere and to greater success and longevity.
Another aspect to take into consideration aside from the physical is that of the mental strength that is built. Martial arts practitioners are placed in difficult and stressful situations periodically throughout their training and yet are still expected to perform and think rationally. And to promote positive thinking, traditional family values and the importance of respect.

How do I learn Tai Chi?Tai chi is practiced as a “form,” a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles.

In class teachers demonstrate the movements, and students practice them together as a group. The teachers give you hands-on adjustments to help you feel the best alignment for the movements and postures.
