Here are some benefits of martial arts training at the James Martial Arts Academy

Strength and Power

While form is important for an effective karate punch or kick, strength is also needed to ensure that your attack is powerful. Conversely, practicing martial arts classes in San Diego will provide you with the opportunity to train your body to become stronger and more formidable.

Such martial arts disciplines as Kosho-Ryu/Kajukenbo require a lot of strength, when it comes to some of its techniques. These kicks, punches, and other moves will increase your entire body’s strength over time. Repetition is another factor that can help improve your body’s musculature.

Flexibility

Executing such things as high martial arts kicks or dodging attacks requires a lot of flexibility. In addition to that, having a more pliable body can help reduce the likelihood of injury, making flexibility important for any athlete. Certain disciplines – such as karate and jiu-jitsu – can help you improve your flexibility since their moves require that of your body.

Cardiovascular Health

Meeting the physical activity guidelines of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention can be difficult. According to their research, only one in five adults actually meets their suggested amount of exercise. Cardiovascular health, in particular, is very important to manage, as it is closely linked to heart health. Especially during training, drills can really help ramp up one’s heart rate, helping you build cardiovascular endurance and increasing the positive impact of your aerobic exercise.

Words from Sigung

I’m Sigung Darryl James Chief the martial arts instructor, and I with my wife Cheryl a practicing Child Psychotherapist and faculty member at San Diego State University and the proud owners of the James Martial Arts Academy. As a Kosho-Ryu and Kajukenbo martial arts instructor with extensive experience training kids, there is nothing better than seeing them grow firsthand.

But more important than the martial arts skills they learn… is the personal skills they develop and carry for life. Because karate/martial arts is so much more than just kicking and punching, and getting the next colorful belt. It’s about developing confidence, discipline, character, focus, and respect. With every class we teach, your kids are growing in mind, body, and character.

That’s because martial arts provides instant positive feedback. By learning to focus on the core moves, they develop discipline and respect. They can instantly see and feel a difference, making them destined to build confidence, self-awareness, and self-respect.

And of course, it’s a ton of FUN! That’s why I love teaching martial arts to kids in this community, and why I know your kids are going to LOVE training. So please have a look below to find out exactly how your kids can benefit from our fun martial arts classes. I'm looking forward to meeting you at our San Diego academy.

Thanks You!

There are simply not enough good things I can say about this school or Sifu Darryl James. He loves these kids as he loves his art, and he is equally devoted to both. His curriculum is sound, and my sons discipline has been enhanced exponentially. This is not a dojo. This is a family, and we are proud to be part of it.
