National Karate Institute

Why Choose National Karate Institute For Your Family Arts Training?
We pride ourselves in being much more than a “karate school” or instructors of simple kicking and punching. We are an educational facility with a set, long term curriculum. Master Kim’s teaching of what is important in life is not necessarily the path you are on, but the way you proceed upon it. Physical discipline is only a part of what we teach at our institute. We repeatedly point out, truly growing with our style of Kun Gek Do and the skills it entails is “80% mental and 20% Physical.” Character development that happens through Martial Arts training here at NKI is one of the biggest benefits you can give your child and yourself.

Here Are the Five Top Benefits of Enrolling in National Karate Institute

Benefit 1:  Life Skills / Character Development
In today’s society, discipline is greatly lacking. Teaching discipline, respect and courtesy is one of our main focuses here, and one of the major benefits of enrolling your child in NKI. We teach our students to live by five codes which are Respect, Loyalty, Confidence, Responsibility and Honor. Instilled in our students is the idea that these behaviors are not simply a set of qualities to demonstrate only in certain situations.

Instead, in totality, they define a “way of being” at all times. Whether it is in the dojang, home, school, work, or with friends, all of our students, from our preschool “Mini Mites” and “Ninja Turtles” to our adults, are expected to consistently demonstrate these qualities as lifestyle choice in order to be true to our style and the Martial arts.

We teach respect by requiring students to “answer up”, say “yes sir” or “yes Ma’am“ when addressing other students, adults and Instructors. Five Codes are the major “life skills” that are cornerstones of the National Karate Institute program.

 

Benefit 2: Self-Confidence, Self-Respect, Self-Esteem and Self-Discipline
As your child develops here at the National Karate Institute, you’ll notice an amazing transformation takes place. NKI can help your child’s confidence grow. How? We start by giving him or her small, relatively attainable goals with lots of praises. For example, in the beginning, we give students with very easy techniques to master until they reach higher belt rank. We do not make the bar high in the beginning because we want the students to build positive momentum, to give them confidence in their ability to learn martial arts.
With these types of approach, you’ll see your child having a better posture, better eye contact and a loud clear voice, which are signs of a confident person. At NKI, we will provide positive experiences for all our students, and offer tangible goals and rewards that help you and your child to stay focused and self-assured.

 

Benefit 3:  Physical Fitness
Of all the lifestyle factors affecting health of American citizen, physical fitness is unquestionably the most important. Today’s children have many weight and health problems due to lack of exercise. Modern day technology and lack of gym classes at our children’s school are hurting our children. National Karate Institute can help you increase cardiovascular health, better muscle strength and endurance, Flexibility, weight maintenance, and stress management while having fun.

 

Benefit 4: Self-Defense
Unfortunately, today’s society can be a dangerous and threatening place for adults as well as kids. The self-defense skills your child will learn at NKI can literally save their life. While most parents don’t enroll their children here specifically for this reason, it is a powerful benefit of training in National Karate Institute.

Bullying is another big threat for kids these days. Unfortunately, one out of every four children will be a victim of a bully at some point this year. And one out of every five children admits to be a bully him/herself!

The martial arts skills your child will learn here at National Karate Institute is a highly effective solution to schoolyard bullying. We teach kids (as well as adults) the skills they need to defend themselves in all types of different situations.

 

Benefit 5: Family
The NKI family is just that … a family. From the never ending support demonstrated by students for each other in every class, to the love, heart, and dedication shown by our instructors and staff to each and every student, the warmth and positive energy is felt as soon as you walk through the door. Come experience it for yourself!
