Children's Kung Fu Classes
Kids typically find Kung Fu classes fun because learning and practicing the moves feel like playing. Tina does not teach sparring in her Kung Fu classes. Using an "angry face" and punching, chopping, and kicking (the air) all allow children to express frustration or anger in a safe space. Venting aggression this way helps kids master self-control in other situations. It is important to note that Kung Fu practice does not encourage violent behavior: In fact, all Chinese martial arts emphasize the concept that fighting is used only as a last resort.
It can be especially hard to find a sport that works for kids who learn and think differently. Tina creates an inclusive environment for her Kung Fu classes because the focus is on self-improvement, not competition. Each child works toward a set goal at their own pace. Respect is a core value of Kung Fu; good behavior is emphasized both in class and in other environments. Like all great martial arts coaches, Tina has clear class rules and constantly reinforces them, so participation fosters respect for her and for classmates.
