Monday, April 4, 2016 Martial Arts & Manners You may be new to the martial arts or you may be a
seasoned black belt but, whatever your rank, it’s always a good idea to practice your martial arts manners. If you are
a parent of a student, reinforcing manners at home is key to growing the character of your children.A popular reason for enrolling children in the martial arts is to develop “life
skills”. These skills include discipline, self-control, patience, confidence, and courage, among others. The idea with
these skills and this motivation is to reinforce what is already being taught at home. Martial arts classes can be a valuable
tool for helping to really drive home the points you make at home in a very real way.Proper etiquette is a cornerstone of Martial Arts. While each martial arts school may vary
in what is considered proper, there are certain rules that remain consistent throughout the worldwide martial arts community.The atmosphere inside any martial arts school is one of courtesy
and respect, which is often very different from the atmosphere outside the classroom. For example, inside the school students
must address instructors with a respectful title, no matter the age of the instructor. However, outside the school, students
are accustomed to calling people by their first names. So it is no surprise that those new to the martial arts often are confused
by the etiquette

And if there are situations for which there is no clear rule, it is always wise — whether wearing a uniform and belt or not — to strive always to be modest, courteous and respectful to all, in particular those who are senior to you. |
