Karate & Martial Arts Classes Benefit Everyone

By Katie Dahle, 3rd dan

All martial arts, including karate classes, have benefits for all kinds of people and situations, and the Colorado Taekwondo Institute (CTI) satisfies many needs. Parents looking for a program for their child to burn some energy might chose karate or taekwondo. Adults wanting to learn self-defense skills would consider martial arts for training. The benefits of self-control, developing confidence, learning focus and building leadership skills are also a part of the martial arts training with the CTI. 

Parents on the lookout for an after-school activity should consider karate training with the CTI. Classes are designed to burn energy through disciplined practice of karate skills and taekwondo martial arts traditions. Being active in childhood helps develop life-long healthy habits. Some children might not need to burn energy but do need lessons in self-control and focus. The CTI classes use karate training and other martial-arts skills to teach students of all ages how to control themselves. The classes require students to focus while practicing, and instructors create safe and supportive environments for children to grow into more thoughtful individuals. The focus, control and confidence skills developed in the karate training taught by the CTI will influence other parts of a child’s life. Behavior at school and home can be improved with consistent training with the CTI program.  

Kids aren’t the only ones who can find multiple benefits to the karate classes taught by the CTI. Adults looking for a long-term training program to get in shape should chose the CTI for the job. Classes are available for everyone to train in a healthy and safe environment with other people who have the same goals. Whether you’re old, small, big, wear glasses or even blind, you’re welcome at the CTI. It’s always the right time to get started with a program that develops healthy habits and exercises the body in a time-tested curriculum of taekwondo traditions. The karate classes at CTI also teach valuable self-defense skills which build confidence and teaches a respect for the power of those skills. 

Martial art training also provides a life-long learning experience. Karate at the CTI is a great environment to grow and train the body, mind and spirit. There are constant goals to reach for which provides motivation and support to the karate student. Even reach black-belt just means more opportunities to learn and grow. Leadership skills are developed too with the training at the CTI because of all the benefits the karate classes provide. Students learn how to lead through example as they advance in their training, which becomes leading through action as the student becomes a teacher of the skills they have learned over the years. 

The karate classes at the CTI also allows students to participate in fair competition and learn good sportsman ship skills at sponsored tournaments through the year. The CTI teaches martial arts classes at five different campuses in the Denver metro area which creates a unique sense of community. So, whatever your needs and goals, the program at the CTI is the program you need.
