Why Your Child’s Focus Improves When They Move More
Posted: August 05, 2025
Kids today are facing a crisis of attention. And while schools are cutting recess and adding screen time, martial arts is doing the opposite.
At the Academy of Kempo Martial Arts, we see it daily: movement improves focus. Our kids karate classes integrate physical activity with structure and mindfulness.
Here’s why it works:
-
Moving increases blood flow to the brain.
-
Martial arts teaches the body and the mind to listen.
-
Focus isn’t forced—it’s trained, step by step.
If your child struggles with focus, especially in a classroom, consider this: martial arts might be the most effective (and fun) brain-training tool they’ll ever try.
