I never wanted to have to protect my daughter. I’ve always wanted her to be capable, confident and strong, able to take care of herself, able to protect herself. But, the world is a scary place, and as a parent, it’s hard not to feel that need to constantly look out for your child. We do what we can to try and keep our kids safe, but sometimes it feels like it’s not enough.
I’m not the kind of parent who is naive about the world. I know that bad things can happen to good people, and I want to do everything in my power to protect my daughter. I’ve learned that one of the most important things we can do for our kids is to help them learn how to defend themselves. That’s why I’ve decided that my daughter needs self defense training.
Recently, I enrolled my daughter at Life Skill Academy and I found out that self defense is an important life skill for everyone, but especially for children. Having a professional coach train your kids in self-defense can help give them the confidence to stand up for themselves in any situation. It can help them feel safer when out and about in the world and also improves physical fitness and focus.
In her classes, she has been developing the skills she needs to protect herself. I can already see that the training has helped improve her confidence and sense of independence.
No one ever expects a situation to arise in which they need to defend themselves or their loved ones, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a smart idea to be prepared. Self-defense training is one of the best things you can do for them, and it could very well save their life one day.
Here are just a few of the reasons why self defense is such an important life skill:
1. Kids are more likely to be targeted if they don’t appear to be able to defend themselves.
2. Self-defense training can help kids stay calm and focused in high pressure situations.
3. It can also help them build confidence and assertiveness. 
4. Self defense can help improve your child’s physical fitness.
5. Self defense can help your child develop discipline and the grit to never quit!
6. Self defense training helps kids have the skills to get home safe!
Self defense training can also help them develop a higher level of self-esteem, making them feel more empowered, which can be beneficial in all areas of life. And finally, classes at Life Skill Academy are a fun and empowering activity that families can enjoy together. So why not consider enrolling your child today?
