Children and adults alike, greatly benefit from this valuable training. The New England Bushido Institute stands firm in its commitment to teach children more than just karate technique. Through karate training, children learn respect, humility, courtesy, and discipline. In addition, children learn the importance of attention to detail, and the ability to focus. This results in a greater attention span which can help to improve their overall performance in school.
Parental support is essential.
A parallel, disciplined environment is required if what is taught in the dojo is to take root in the student outside of the class. If the demands and expectations of a child's behavior are not consistent, what is learned will not be practiced, and therefore is pointless. The instructors of the N.E.B.I. wish to be in partnership with all parents. We urge parents to stay in constant communication with the instructors and to share all concerns about their child. Flynn, also a United States Branch Chief since 1992, is the Director and Head Instructor of the New England Bushido Institute's Marubashi Dojo, located in North Attleboro, Massachusetts.
