In today's fast-paced world, parents often find themselves navigating a maze of options when it comes to their children's extracurricular activities. One question that frequently arises is, "Should my child learn self-defense or pursue competitive martial arts?" At Self Defense Academy COS, we believe in a different approach. Our focus isn't on winning trophies or medals; it's on equipping your child with the skills they need to be champions in life.
Why Self Defense, Not Competition?
The difference between self-defense and competitive martial arts is profound. While competitive martial arts are a great option. They emphasize winning and losing. Where as in self-defense its about much more than that. It's about teaching children how to protect themselves, build confidence, and develop resilience in the face of life's challenges. At Self Defense Academy COS, we don't just teach techniques; we instill life skills that will benefit your child on and off the mat.
Youth Program: Building Solid Kids
Every day in the United States, an estimated 150,000 kids miss school due to fear or intimidation from bullies. Many believe that fear of bullying may be the leading cause of low self-confidence in children. Even more concerning is that less than 15% of kids actually report acts of bullying. Bullies, often driven by their own insecurities, target those they perceive as smaller or weaker, leading to psychological trauma that can last a lifetime.
This harsh reality drives parents to seek out solutions, and that's where our Self Defense Academy COS Youth/Kids Program comes in. Our program is specifically designed to address these concerns, providing children with the tools they need to stand up against bullies and navigate life's challenges with confidence.
The VB Method: Education for Life
Our Youth Program, based on the Valente Brothers (VB) method, focuses on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of our students. This is not just about learning how to defend oneself; it's about building a solid foundation for a happy, balanced life. Through our curriculum, students gain discipline, respect, courage, athleticism, and patience—traits that are crucial for success in all areas of life.
One of the unique aspects of our program is the 753 code, a framework that helps children develop the characteristics and skills they need to thrive. We emphasize nonviolent resolutions to conflict, teaching our students that strength is not just about physical prowess but also about mental and emotional resilience.
Building Self-Esteem Through Self Defense
A strong self-image is the cornerstone of a well-functioning, happy, and successful child. At Self Defense Academy COS, we place a significant emphasis on the development of self-esteem. Our curriculum integrates physical education and self-defense techniques with conditioning and skill-oriented games designed to improve your child’s coordination, motor skills, agility, and flexibility.
Our instructors are trained in our unique teaching methodology, ensuring that they can connect with each child in a way that suits their individual learning style—whether visual, kinesthetic, or auditory. This personalized approach helps children not only learn but also enjoy the process, fostering a love for self-improvement and growth.
