Kid classes are a staple in martial art programs. Having your child learn martial arts is a great way to teach them self defense. More importantly these kids learn focus, discipline, mental strength and self confidence. We at Archimedes have a unique spin on kid classes called Dual Mats. Dual Mats allows kids to train at the same time as the adults. This training concept has two primary benefits over a traditional kids class. First is the benefit is for the children modeling the behavior of the adult students. The second benefit is that the kid students can train at the same time as their parents.

The first benefit over a standard kids martial art class is getting to model the behavior and discipline of the adult students. Kids who are learning alongside adults would need to emotionally mature at a faster pace than kids who just train around kids closer their age. This will naturally affect other areas of the child’s emotional maturity in school and other extra curricular activities they participate in.
The second benefit of Dual Mats is that it allows kids and parents to train at the same time. In most Jiu-Jitsu gyms it’s not uncommon to see a parent who trains Jiu-Jitsu, depending on the length of the classes, spend 2-4 hours at the gym. However in the Dual Mats the whole family gets to train at the same time. You could share a new hobby with your kids and watch them grow in this Art/Sport.
Get out there and train with your kids! Share a new hobby and help them develop the focus, discipline, mental strength, and self confidence.
