Childrens Martial Arts Classes As Daycare Alternative in Chicago



May 5, 2005 -- The Chicago Military Arts Institute (http://www.militaryartsinstitute.com) has long been recognised as Chicago's premier school for martial arts training, focusing primarily on the major korean martial arts systems (Taekwondo, Korean Judo, and Hapkido). Under the guidance of Grandmaster Kyung Kim Shin, a world-famous martial arts competitor and instructor, the school has been teaching Chicago area and Chicagoland men, women, children, police, military, and the special forces martial arts since 1962; one of the oldest and largest martial arts schools in the Midwest.

Recently, however, the school announced a new direction in its development: children. The Military Arts Institute is now offering full-blown martial arts classes for children as an after-school program (http://www.militaryartsinstitute.com/Martial-Arts-For-Children.html), being billed as a healthy, smart alternative to traditional babysitting and daycare services. "Conventional daycare centers focus on keeping your child busy. Babysitters focus on keeping your child from hurting themselves or getting into trouble. Our program offers much more!" states the organisation's website, going to point out that martial arts training provides several valuable life skills, including mental focus, concentration, meditation, and calm, as well as the confidence to handle any situation.

The package includes complimentary pickup from area schools, a valuable timesaver for working parents. Children in the program change into a taekwondo uniform at the school and participate in an hour-long class, organised by age and skill level. Fun games and activities are used to build up coordination and focus in younger children, while older children are introduced to more rigorous martial arts training. The school also offers full gym facilities for older students, as well as showers, locker rooms/changing rooms, and complimentary telephone services for children who need to contact their parents during or after a class.

Priced competitively with traditional daycare and babysitting services, the Military Arts Institute plans to give North Chicago daycares a run for their money with a safe, supportive environment, world-class training facilities, and a very viable and productive alternative solution to the childcare problems many working adults face on Chicago's north side.
