It is true that martial arts teaches children how to kick, punch and block. However it also teaches many life skills that are deeply embedded into the ancient arts. Child psychologist Jeffrey Bernstein says, The power of martial art "discipline comes not from side kicks or sleeper holds, but rather from an unrivaled ability to teach confidence and self respect."
