Kickboxing has grown enormously in popularity in recent years. Especially young people and ladies have discovered this sport. The benefits of kickboxing are countless, from increasing your physical fitness to improving your self-confidence. Children in particular benefit greatly from gaining more self-confidence. It's a tough world and unfortunately bullying in schools is still rife.
A confident child is much less likely to end up in threatening situations. The physical and mental aspects of martial arts increase children's self-confidence and teach them to be assertive in a playful way. The children learn to set boundaries and stand up for themselves! But children with a short fuse also benefit from taking kickboxing lessons.
A good teacher/kickboxing trainer can teach children who are difficult to educate some discipline. It is precisely by taking out aggression on a punching bag that these children are able to direct their anger in one direction. Research has shown that children who control their aggression will achieve better results at school. The group process supports this.
