Kids Martial Arts Portland Classes Promote Mindfulness

My name is Aaron Paul Harvey and I have been practicing martial arts for over 6 years. I believe that martial arts have helped me become a more mindful and more connected adult…. and I kind of wish that my parents had taken me to Jiu Jitsu or other Kids Martial Arts Classes when I was younger, and that’s the truth! Why not start these good habits in your kids early?

Jiu Jitsu Keeps Kids Engaged: Kids Martial Arts Classes Portland

Does your kid have trouble focusing or even have ADHD? Adults share commonalities with children in that both adults and kids need to workout. Kids especially have all have this pent-up primate energy that needs to be expressed via a physical activity for our overall wellness, as MD will tell you. So, you want your kids to be in shape this summer and be involved in an activity that will help them develop to their full potential, right? After seeing Owner of Mata Leao Omar Santiago train his kid students, I am convinced that this is the best place for any kid to come learn martial arts.

The Science Of Mindfulness Meditation

I feel uniquely qualified to inform you about this is partially from my academic background in child research. I obtained 2 degrees from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, the latest focusing in Cognitive Neuroscience.  I spent my Senior year participating in studies involving kids with ADHD and also collaborating with the Dalai Lama’s Deputy Secretary for experiments in meditation.

I learned that a major marker on the frontier of neuroscience is the concept of mindfulness as it pertains to mental health, especially when it comes to children. I believe wholeheartedly that there are SERIOUS parallels to this concept of mindfulness and also what I see going on at Mata Leao Gym, right here in SE Portland.
