Moving with Martial Arts
February/March 1996

Kids of all ages can develop self-discipline and improve concentration, self-esteem, and physical fitness with martial arts, such as karate, tae kwon do, and judo. When choosing a class for your child, follow these tips from
John P. Mirrione
, a certified karate instructor at the
Reebok Sports/NY.

*Check with your local recreation department, YMCA, or martial arts school for information on classes.

*Observe a class to see if the kids involved are enjoying themselves and like the instructor. *Talk to the parents of children in the class to find out whether they're happy with the class and its instructor. *Make sure the instructor is certified; check references, the Better Business Bureau, and other certifying bodies. Also, make sure he is trained in first and CPR. *Check that floors are covered with padded mats and that full line of protective gear is available. *Let your child change his mind about taking the class.
