Kids Introductory Lesson Script

3 Rules of Concentration

We are never taught how to listen, and concentrate, we find that the smartest children are the ones who can concentrate, the kids who are not so smart are the ones who are looking out of the window when the teachers talking

we teach the 3 Rules of Concentration to develop the very important skills of Concentration, these are Focus your Eyes, to show your concentrating always look me in the eyes (look away) I am concentrating now, would I be a good teacher (thumb down) no, and guess what it’s the same for students too, Focus your Mind so think about whats being said to you so you understand, and third Focus your Body always sit and stand straight and tall (do both). (Get the child to go through it saying with you”.

Yes Sir/No Sir

(name) whenever I ask you a question I want you to Say Yes Sir or No Sir, can you say yes sir well done (name)”

Self Control & Concentration

(Practice set position)

can you say self control and concentration, we start by practicing controlling our body once we can do this the mind will follow, self control to be able to stop yourself from punching someone when your angry, or when you are in the sweet shop and you havent got any money and your real hungry and you want to take a chocolate bar what stops us is good self control

Respect

(Practice bow)

If I was mean to you I mean really mean! Would it be easy for you to be nice to me, no it wouldnt, would it! But if I was nice to you, what would happen, that’s right you would be nice to me, so Respect is treating other people how you want to be treated. But Im not going to wait for you to be nice to me; I am going to be nice first. Do you know who the most important people in the world to respect are, that’s right your Parents and Teachers well done (name)

Self Defense Stance Victim/Victor

(name) we are all a little bit like aliens we have antennas which give off signals that tell us what kind of a person we are, there are two kinds of kids, victims and victors, victims are the kids that get bullied they don’t appear very confident, they don’t look people in the eyes, their shoulders are hunched over, they take small steps and look weak. The Victor, the child that doesn’t get bullied is the one that looks people in the eyes, stands tall with shoulders back, and takes bigger steps, and looks strong. Which one would you like to be (name)

If we feel threatened by someone we don’t want them to get too close, and we don’t want to stand like this, where we can be hit every where, so we put our hands up like this and stand like this, and say I’m too angry to talk right now I need to calm down

Guarding Stance Spirit and Intensity

When we jumped into stance we shout loud and move really fast and strong, this helps develop our spirit and intensity, now I am not going to pay you to do this well, but these are the kind of qualities that an employer will pay lots for when you you get older.

How High Can you Kick

You can always do better than you think you can 100 times rule/perseverance

(name) can you show me how high you think you can kick with your hand, wow that high, (raise about 6 inches) I think you can kick this high, (they kick your hand)

How come (name) you said you could kick this high when really you could kick this high! Do you know what that taught you You can kick higher than you thought you could! And in life we can always do better than we think we can, at school, at home, at martial arts, this is really important (use hand) if you think your this good that’s as good as you will be! But if you aim higher with your goals you will definitely achieve more repeat after me You can always do better than you think you can

How many time would you have tried to kick my hand before you gave up 10, 20, (they answer) well we have a rule in the martial arts we try everything for 100 times, Ill let you into a secret mine is 1000 times! (to parent) as an adult we often tell our children to keep trying but we forget to do this ourselves, after all we didn’t stop trying after a couple of times when we where trying to walk, we kept going until we could, martial arts develops an unshakable commitment and perseverance to everything we do, these qualities are priceless

Punching Pads

SPEED POWER AND CO-ORDINATION

As well as the mental benefits martial arts develops such as self control, concentration and respect, we also develop physical skills like speed, power and co-ordination which improve their athletic ability and also help with other sports too!

Student Creed

We also have a Student Creed, all the children recite the Creed at the beginning of the lesson, the student creed articulates the values of training in the martial arts such as avoiding negative peer pressure, smoking, drugs, and alcohol.

Go through Creed 2 with Child

I will develop Self Discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and other

Discipline is where your Mum/Dad says (name) go and tidy your room and you go and do it. Self Discipline is where you know your room needs tidying and you go and do it without being told, this is the best kind of discipline. To practice your Self Discipline I want you to keep your room tidy for your next lesson, show me with your hand how tidy it’s going to be! Wow that’s going to be really tidy, and Ill ask your parents next time you come in how well you’ve done

Parents martial arts class is the only class that will teach your child focus, discipline, respect and self control any child needs these skills to be successful.
