Training Together - A special kung fu programme for Parents and Children to train together, at the same time...

Here are the issues we keep in mind when we plan our kung fu programmes:

1. Worried about the increased risk of mental and physical violence to your child...for example bullying at school? What about children and adults facing the rising risks of knife attacks, robberies, and assaults?

2. Worried about your child becoming overweight? We know that regularly exercising your children is very important for their development and growth.

3. What about the life-threatening diseases that children and parents can suffer because of excessive body weight?

So would you and your child like to prevent serious illnesses that will affect your life if you are owerweight...diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and even poor mental, emotional and physical health?

Both parent and child can get the health benefits of kung fu. Here' what The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick 2006 has to say:

“Active parents mean active kids … Doing things together starts healthy habits … You'll enjoy spending time together, you'll feel healthier and your mood will improve!”

As parents we are well aware of our responsibility to our children, but we are just as prone to being unaware of our responsibility to ourselves.

We place our children’s needs first, making sure that even if we can’t fit in time for ourselves, we make time to ensure that they get what they need.

There is plenty of evidence to tell us that:

- physical activity reduces the risk of our children becoming overweight, that

- they are healthier when they are active and less prone to illness, and that

- they concentrate better and absorb more in the classroom when their bodies have enough to do physically that

- they are generally happier and more relaxed when they are active on a regular basis.

What we often forget is that if it’s good for the kids – it’s good for us too!

But where do we fit it in? Can kung fu help?

In making sure our children have the best opportunities that we can possibly provide, there is very little (if any) time left for ourselves. In fact, time can be so short that we have difficulty finding time to be with our children and participate in things with them.

Golden Lion Academy believes that what benefits the kids, benefits the parents and has come up with a unique and family-orientated solution:

Let’s do it together - Parents and kids doing kung fu in the same class...TOGETHER!

Training kung fu together has many advantages:

- everyone goes at the same time, no trying to fit in multiple trips

- parents (mums and dads) and kids learning the same techniques, so you can practice together at home, help each other out, spend time on a common interest

- you’re getting your workout and the kids are getting theirs

- the benefits to the kids are now your benefits too

- and it’s a lot of fun!

In this unique system, you will have the benefit of two instructors; one working with your children to ensure that they get the best from the class, and one working with you to make sure that you reap the rewards too.

You’ll learn the same kung fu curriculum; the same techniques, forms and weaponry, all side-by-side with your children. You’re able to see them train, and they’ll be able to keep a watchful eye on you too!

The class is structured to ensure that parents get as tailored and structured a workout as their children, and that you both have the opportunity to train to your personal best.

Then, at home between classes, you can practise together and strengthen the bond found in sharing this unique mind and body exercise programme. Or, if you like you can add an adult class to your training as well.

Take the opportunity to include yourself in some of the fun and activity you know is great for your kids! Contact Us Now.
