Lani Nashi
I recently relocated to this area of Chicago and was looking to get back in to the study of martial arts. I had been searching for quite some time for the right studio. I had questions on transferring my previous experience in a different style, curriculum, testing requirements, etc. My questions were more than answered during a phone conference with one of the owners. Later on, my daughter joined TBK and loves every minute of it. They teach more than just karate - character development, discipline, humility, respect, customs, traditions, and history, all in a safe, supportive, non-aggressive family and training atmosphere. COVID-19 has also presented a host of challenges, all of which TBK overcame with originality and in compliance with the ever changing set of rules. Highly recommend!

KIDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS OBESE
Children need our support. We work hand in hand with parents to ensure our students make the right choices. At True Balance Karate we work with each student one on one with support when needed.
Focus & Concentration
Concentration is like a muscle that needs regular exercise to grow stronger. Martial arts provides kids with strategies that help improve their ability to focus and maintain their attention. Schoolwork requires students to be able to concentrate for extended periods of time. Participating in karate requires even more concentration. This ability to concentrate and sustain attention is crucially important. As students learn and improve, they will grow life skills such as self-confidence and positive self-esteem.
Enhanced Self-Control & Self-Discipline
Almost all young children are naturally impulsive. How do you teach a child to deal with this impulsive behavior? – Self-discipline. A child who has self-control and self-discipline has a huge advantage in dealing with life’s challenges.
So many problems can be avoided when a person has self-control. Martial arts is the perfect solution to help teach students self-control and self-discipline.
Better School Grades
Martial arts training and educational training share a very important goal: to inspire attitudes and actions that turn students into motivated, confident, capable, and self-reliant leaders. In school, high test scores are rewarded with good grades. Martial artists develop skills and traits needed to meet diverse challenges, such as studying to earn good grades. Just a few more are discipline, self-control, self-esteem, self-worth, courtesy, and respect for others.
This is a GIFT that will last a lifetime through school, college and into the work world.
