Children and the Martial Arts
June 25th, 2009I am a medical transcriptionist. I am also a martial artist. I do not practice the hard styles much anymore. As we age, our bodies simply do not cooperate with the things we tell them to do regarding martial arts. I stick to Tai Chi. It is a wonderful way to manage stress. However, I do occasionally turn wild and wooly and throw some kicks or do some forms. I am not dead yet.
I was required to put in some teaching hours to progress in my own training. What I enjoyed the most were the children. It was such fun teaching the little ones. They have lots of energy and can be a riot on the workout floor. They are also little sponges that soak up martial arts forms just as easily as they do other things that capture their attention.
