Summer Confidence Part 1
Confidence Building in the Summer – Part 1
I wanted to explain some of the particulars of how KarateBuilt Martial Arts builds confidence, which builds self-esteem which builds better grades (see the BUILDS at KarateBUILT theme?)…
Self-confidence starts with safety…
so as I mentioned in earlier posts, Self-Confidence gained by gaining the skills to defend yourself is a primal need. Lets face facts that in school (for kids – in life for adults) there are real dangers that – while may not be obvious day to day – are something we worry about as humans… This summer is the perfect time to prepare for the upcoming year…
The next steps…
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs states that after food, water, shelter that SAFETY NEEDS are the next most important needs… it looks like this on the right…
We need to fulfill the lowest level needs (like food and water) before higher level needs (like self-esteem or being sociable) are going to have any impact.
Karate at KarateBuilt Martial Arts builds skills so you (or your child) feel 100% confident in all safety situations. You can HANDLE YOURSELF… and while most people don’t get in fights (at least I hope you don’t) it doesn’t mean as a human we don’t need to feel safe.
Once SAFETY is achieved, there is still some work to do before you get 100% rock-solid confidence…
We’ll discuss more next time I have a chance to post!!
