Body and Brain
The Muay Thai and Boxing elements of class help to develop coordination, strength and discipline. They also happen to be extremely fun and great exercise. Kali stickwork not only improves focus, it promotes healthy brain development in surprising ways. The two-handed weaving motions fosters “cross-lateralization” between the right and left hemispheres of the brain, creating a stronger synthesis between the creative and analytical qualities of the mind.
In addition to kali stickwork, our instructors lead fun and creative martial arts games that encourage teamwork, strategy and problem solving. To get a better idea of how Kali can improve your child’s cognitive fitness as well as their physical fitness, check out this video by friend of MKG Guro Paul McCarthy:
The MKG Youth Program has all the character-building benefits of traditional martial arts systems but it takes a modern approach. Our instructors genuinely care about the students and work hard to make sure that each child feels included. Students in our program feel both supported and challenged—physically, mentally and through belt testing. Bring in your child for a first lesson and see what makes our program so original!
