If you have seen the movies, you know that nun chuks can be a very effective weapon, as often seen in the Bruce Lee movies. While it looks great on TV, it takes a lot of training and practice to get good. Taking classes on how to use these weapons is available by highly qualified instructors.

Get in Shape

In addition to learning how to use these weapons, you will need to get in shape. The classes emphasize losing weight and getting fit and they have the exercises needed to take the pounds off. Being highly flexible, as well as being coordinated, is necessary for the proper use of the nun chuks and martial arts.

Other Benefits

In addition to getting in shape, the sport will add the ability to have a high level of concentration and focus. Students must learn how the weapon moves and be able to use it interchangeably between hands. This requires that you know how it is moving and where it is at all times.

Being able to concentrate is a benefit that will extend into school, allowing students to be able to listen better to the teachers and study with greater concentration. Everything they do in life, if they are going to succeed at it, will be helped by this ability.

Developing stamina is another benefit. This enables them to continue doing something repeatedly, or trying something new without quitting – even if it hurts. Before long, they will be able to do things without being asked, because of the greater self-discipline that will develop, too.

Self-defense

This weapon is excellent for use in close-up self-defense. Its greatest value comes when a student can use it well after lots of training and practice. It is important to understand where it may not be legal to carry it. In addition to the training in weapons, the student will also learn punches, kicks, blocks, etc.

Belt Ranks

Different belts can be gained from training and much practice with the nun chuks and other martial arts weapons. The more practice that a student does on their own will result in faster promotion.

Self-control

Instruction in any form of martial arts, as long as it is continued, will lead to a strong development of self-control and self-discipline. It takes self-discipline to master any move and get it down correctly. These qualities will benefit them for life.

Students are also taught only to use a martial arts weapon when absolutely necessary, and that would be only after other channels have been tried (if possible). Instructors are careful to instill in the students to have respect for other people, and safety is always emphasized in all of the classes.

The Amerikick Martial Arts gym provides instruction in the use of nun chuks. Our instructors are trained and certified. We invite you to come and attend a class in our Staten Island, New York location for free, or to come and talk to our instructors about the class. They will be glad to answer any questions you have.

Our Kids Karate Classes Develop:

Focus

From the very first class, your child will learn the importance of eye contact, posture, and active listening skills that will benefit them not only in Karate but at home, on the playing field, and of course, at school. Both teachers and parents often notice the dramatic difference in children who study the Martial Arts. Your child will be more focused with school and homework.

Self-Control

When confronted, a child’s first option should be to get away; fighting should be the very last resort. It is a myth that the Martial Arts fosters aggressiveness in children. On the contrary, with continuous training, there are natural increases in a child’s confidence, discipline and self-control.

Self-Discipline

The Martial Arts instills discipline in students by requiring full attention in class, refraining from unruly behavior, the importance of arriving on time and being prepared. Students are also taught to follow instructions and not interrupt instructors. Kids are expected to keep uniforms and other items clean and organized.

Self-Confidence

Many parents enroll their children in Martial Arts to boosts their confidence, self-esteem and feeling of self-worth. Kids put forth their best effort, defend themselves, recognize their own potential and believe in their abilities. Because of their own efforts, there is a feeling of pride with each rank advancement.

Respect

Nothing does a better job at teaching the “old school” values of respect and courtesy. Martial Arts training teaches children to answer in a respectful manner to instructors (“Yes Sensei” or “No Sensei”), bow when entering and leaving the dojo, tag hands before sparring, stand straight before class begins and raising hands to answer or ask a question.

Goal Setting

At a very early age, Martial Art students are encouraged to set long term goals. The most obvious goal is reaching the rank of Black Belt. The Martial Arts instills indomitable spirit so children never give up on their dreams. Learning to set goals encompasses the life experiences of a Martial Arts student.

Fitness

“Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years.” (CDC, 7/2013). “Two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese.” (Flegalet al., 2012). We hear about it all the time. Did you know that in many cases, the bad lifestyle habits that lead to obesity start in childhood and can get worse over time? Fortunately, the Martial Arts help families avoid falling into these statistics by teaching healthy lifestyles and fitness early on. The Martial Arts improve flexibility, endurance, balance, agility, strength and motor skills.

Self-Confidence

Many parents enroll their children in Martial Arts to boosts their confidence, self-esteem and feeling of self-worth. Kids put forth their best effort, defend themselves, recognize their own potential and believe in their abilities. Because of their own efforts, there is a feeling of pride with each rank advancement.

People About Us
Aleksandra Simanovsky

Want to praise the excellent team at AmeriKick camp! My kids (8yo girl and 6yo boy) look forward to the program each morning and have the most excitement when I pick them up as they can’t wait to show me the new moves they learned !! Best part is that it’s not all fun and games – the staff also encourage academic learning with a weekly trip to the library where kids read and then write about what they read ! (Love that camp does this even when I can’t). Not a huge fan of the extended hours small crammed room, but the kids don’t seem to mind it.

Amerikick is an amazing school. I started taking the ladies fitness class in march and I noticed the difference almost immediately, I physically feel better and I have more energy. The instructors are very caring and even though you are in a group setting they take the time to work with you one to one and give constructive criticism and encouragement if needed. Every class is different and challenging, no cookie cutter workouts here. So, if your looking for a great school with caring instructors and workouts that will actually yield results this is the place for you.
