How to learn karate for children

When many children were young, some parents let them learn karate. Karate is also a type of taekwondo, but karate is easier to practice. Practicing karate can also make children's bodies better. When children practice karate, it is a sport that can cultivate children's interest. If girls learn such a sport, it can be a self-defense sport. Let's take a look at how children learn karate.

1. Karate pays great attention to etiquette, which helps children develop good etiquette while strengthening their bodies. Through long-term practice, children's inner qualities can be effectively stimulated and their hard-working and persevering willpower can be cultivated.

2. There is no need to say much about the physical fitness function of karate. After various forms of practice, children can effectively enhance their muscle strength and exercise the body's ligaments to a certain extent. The improvement of children's physical fitness is self-evident.

3. Long-term practice of karate can give good stimulation to the brain. The practice process is not only the contraction of skeletal muscles, but also the comprehensive exercise of right brain functions such as spatial perception, experience, and type recognition. Therefore, it is very beneficial to the development of children's right brain functions.

4. Karate can train children's ability to adapt to the environment, help them overcome psychological inertia, and hone their strong willpower. Children can have strong coping abilities when they encounter difficulties.

Practice Method

Generally, for beginner kumite, both parties assume actual combat stances, each keeping an appropriate distance. The attacking party then informs the target and boldly attacks the target, while the defending party freely uses learned techniques to counterattack. This can be said to be a preparation for future free sparring, and is also the best way to develop the visual field and the sixth sense needed for attack and defense.

The advanced kumite is called free kumite. The difference between it and actual combat is that the target of attack is assumed to be an inch in front of the vital parts of the human body, which is called "inch stop". You must practice basic movements repeatedly, become familiar with each "form", and undergo basic kumite training before you can enter this stage.

Before you have mastered the basic kumite, you should not practice free kumite. There are two reasons for this:

1. Prevent danger: Because free kumite requires you to attack on the one hand and defend against the enemy's attack on the other, accidents are prone to occur before you are familiar with the basic techniques.

2. Prevent quirks: If you do not pay attention to basic movements and are obsessed with winning or losing, it will be easy to develop a fighting-style karate, which will hinder your progress. Karate masters not only have superb skills in competitions, but their basic movements are also very graceful, enough to convince bystanders.

These are the various methods for children to learn karate. If you want your children to develop a better body when practicing karate, then you must let your children persist in exercising. Karate is likely to make children bored. If the children are bored, then if the children don’t want to learn, then don’t let them learn. This is the child’s hobby, and they can only persist if they are willing to learn.
