Children’s martial arts train not only the body, but also educate the spirit. It is not for nothing that each martial art has its own philosophy or teaching, and masters or teachers of many directions act as unconditional authority among their students.
According to our observations, children who engage in martial arts differ from their peers: they are more disciplined and collected, they adapt more easily and act in unforeseen situations, they are more resilient and physically healthy. Moreover, such qualities are equally manifested in both boys and girls. As a result, the child has good academic results, it is easier for him to achieve his goals and accept the authority of adults.
And if the benefits of martial arts for children have been proven, the question remains: which martial art to choose?

Martial arts for children are contact sports. Classes are held in group and individual format. By choosing the first option, your child learns to interact with peers, and in the second case, to work one-on-one with a coach for more effective and rapid development.
What martial arts do we offer for children over 5 years old?
This age was not chosen by chance - from the age of 5, boys and girls are sufficiently developed to master strikes, throws, and grabs. The 5 Element fitness club offers the following children’s subscriptions for martial arts classes:
- classic boxing – this sport develops coordination, endurance and courage, and also helps the child strengthen the health of the circulatory and respiratory systems;
- kickboxing – martial arts develops not only endurance and muscle corset, but also flexibility and motor skills;
- Wushu – its main advantage is that there are practically no contraindications for practicing. Fist fighting techniques are combined with breathing and acrobatic exercises;
- Karate – this Japanese martial art strengthens not only the body, but also the psychological discipline of the child. Thanks to this, he becomes calmer, more self-confident and more disciplined;
- kung fu - skills of self-defense, flexibility, strength and stamina, creativity - this is how you can describe the result that this martial arts will give to children.
When choosing a direction, it is worth taking into account the individual characteristics and preferences of the child. Experts recommend martial arts (wushu, karate, kung fu) as “soft”. Children from 5 years old learn basic techniques without contact, and only as they become older and more experienced do they participate in sparring.
As for boxing and kickboxing, it is suitable for boys and girls aged 8 years and above. Considering the characteristics of strikes in these martial arts, the skeletal and muscular systems of children must be formed. At the “5 Element” fitness club, classes for beginners are built in stages, therefore, only after learning the basic techniques, throws and grabs, pair interactions become possible.
And remember: martial arts training for children is not only physical, but also psychological development, which will help raise a healthy, active and purposeful child.
The service is available to holders of “KIDS” and “KIDS PREMIUM” subscriptions.
