Changing Lives ATA Martial Arts in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake

“Helping students improve better grades by training in ATA martial arts”.

ATA Martial Arts is well known throughout the Hampton Roads area on beneficial training in martial arts for children, teens, and adults; however, studies show that the earlier your child starts martial arts, the more it can help him or her throughout their developmental stages. Changing Lives Martial Arts in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake encourage your children to grow in body, mind and spirit. As a TOP TEN Martial Arts School in the ATA, Changing Lives Martial Arts is a leading martial arts training facility. ATA Martial Arts Schools in the State of Virginia are top notch MA training academies. Please see below for Virginia Martial Art Schools.

Senior Master Tracy Lee Thomas, 7th Degree Master Instructor, recommends that children participate in physical and mental activities to encourage physical maturity, personality growth and socialization with others. Developing these skills will in turn promote better grades since children will be practicing focus, self motivation and more. Not only does learning martial arts meet the developmental needs of children, it also effectively enhances their physical fitness levels and improves scholastic grade point average.

Changing Lives Martial Arts has been recognized throughout the Virginia Beach and Chesapeake areas as a way to give kids the ability to face the daily pressure in school and life. Martial Arts helps to improve focus, requires concentration and martial arts students need to pay attention to the instruction of the teacher. To be successful in martial arts, children must learn to listen well and carefully absorb the lessons. These same life skills can easily be applied throughout their schools years to help improve their grades.

Martial Arts builds confidence in children. Other than building self-confidence, martial arts can bring many positive changes to help a child greatly improve their grades in school.

1. Through martial arts, children will be more disciplined. Self discipline is a difficult trait to develop. Studies show that in many learning environments children often struggle not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack the necessary discipline to get better grades. Changing Lives ATA Martial Arts encourages children to practice their life skills in school as much as they do during training. Martial Arts classes offer repetition, detailed drills, and consistency that build discipline in a positive manner using positive correction.
2. Changing Lives ATA Martial Arts believes it is very important and essential for children to be physically fit. Taking martial arts classes definitely helps keep children active and provides a fun environment as well. Not only do martial arts classes build overall fitness, but it also helps a child develop their coordination. Both of these attributes can improve grades. Changing Lives ATA Martial Arts is offering a free 3 Day Confidence Course at all their Virginia Beach and Chesapeake locations. Visit us on the web at www.atakick.com.
3. Self-motivation is all a key life skill for better grades with martial arts. Changing Lives ATA Martial Arts actually tracks individual progress and success as students work up to different belt ranks. Children work for their own motivation factors while building awareness that they are actually responsible for their actions. As adults, we understand that our actions cause our successes; CLMA Martial Arts applies this lesson throughout each child’s journey in martial arts. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."

Changing Lives ATA Martial Arts in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake would like you to take that first step. They encourage parents to allow their child (children) to participate in our Free 3 Day Martial Arts Confidence Course.
