Why Wanting to Quit is Good With Karate Kids in Stamford CT

Self Discipline

As a parent, I want the best for my son, but just giving things to him his entire life is doing him a disservice.  The only true way to make someone feel secure and happy with themselves is by achieving goalson their own, and of course too know how to defend themselves.  Let’s touch base the SELF DISCIPLINE and why I feel that when a person wants to quit it’s actually a good thing and not bad.

Self discipline and focus is apparent here at the Stamford CT Tiger Schulmann’s

Think about this, if someone is doing really well at something will they want to quit?  Of course not, they’re awesome at that activity and feel on top of the world.  It’s when someone wants to give up because the activity in front of them is way too difficult to achieve, that’s my time to hold their hand and walk them through the difficult task at hand.   This is when I can do my job as a martial arts instructor, because how can you teach someone how NOT to quit unless they want too.  That discipline that I teach eventually is no longer an outside source of encouragement, it becomes internal source or what you would call SELF DISCIPLINE.

Self Discipline plus Self Defense creates one thing, SELF CONFIDENCE

Once that self discipline is developed in my students and we add self defense to the mix a new sense of confidence is developed.  This self confidence is what anyone wants for themselves, and especially parents for their children.  True confidence can only be developed from within which happens to all my students at the Stamford Tiger Schulmann’s.
