  • Developing a Growth Mindset in a Competitive World

    Developing a Growth Mindset in a Competitive World

    In today’s world competition is everywhere and it often starts at a very young age. It begins as a fun, skill-developing event but can quickly become time-consuming and competitive. While some parents want their children pushed to help them learn the hard lessons of life, others want to protect their children from the disappointment that can come with competition. Both sides have pros and cons, but a balanced approach is what will truly help a child develop a competitive nature in a healthy way. Competition can be fun and exhilarating, especially if you are on the winning side. This drive to compete and win is very strong in our society in every age group and industry. When ....

  • Martial Arts: The Secret Senses To Better Behavior

    Martial Arts: The Secret Senses To Better Behavior

    We’ve all heard of the main 5 senses; taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing. However, there are two other, very important, senses that don’t get enough attention. Those are the vestibular sense and proprioception. These two senses are vital in the development of a child but are often overlooked, especially in today’s world. This is mostly due to the fact that safety is of the upmost importance for anyone working with children. And while safety is important, the constant lack of “risky play” is contributing to the underdevelopment of these two senses. The vestibular sense is most easily understood as the sense that helps us with balance and movement. This ....

    Is It Rude, Is It Mean, Is It Bullying?

    As they say, kids will be kids. And yes, children and teens can be unkind to their peers and feelings get hurt. The problem is when these behaviors become common and target the same person repeatedly. This is when kids being kids begins to cross the line to bullying. And while bullying is a very terrible thing for anyone to endure, it is important to look at the actual behavior and determine if it really is bullying or if it is children being rude or mean. Bullying is a term that has become more prevalent in recent years even though the actual act of bullying has been around for a very long time. Although studies have shown that the rates of bullying incidents have actually decreased, ....

  • Skills-Based Training vs. Technique-Based Training

    Skills-Based Training vs. Technique-Based Training

    Most martial arts forms are rooted in tradition and have been taught the same way for years. And while tradition is vital to keeping the art preserved, the way it is taught in today’s modern world isn’t as effective. As times change and as we become more educated, we must adjust to meet the needs of the people we serve. This is especially true when teaching children. Traditional martial arts is taught as a set of techniques that progressively get harder as each new level is attained. These techniques are the same for a 3-year-old as they are for a 13-year-old, yet the abilities of these two ages are completely different. Because of this, most children often become ....

  • Martial Arts Cross Training - The Secret to Developing More Well-Rounded Athletes

    Martial Arts Cross Training - The Secret to Developing More Well-Rounded Athletes

    An athlete is defined by Merriam-Webster as “a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina.” Athletes in specific sports train to be at the top of their game, but how much better of an athlete would they be if they had a well-rounded cross training program? For years, martial arts has been viewed more as an “art” than a “sport.” And while, there is much beauty in it, there is also a lot of blood, sweat, and tears that go into the training. However, that is the part that the general population does not see. Training in any form of martial arts is rigorous and is, by far, one of the ....

  • Fostering Self-Actualization in Children and Teens

    Fostering Self-Actualization in Children and Teens

    When we think of human behavior, we often first focus on the problems or deficits that people have and how this affects their achievements, or lack thereof. Rarely is the first thought of what motivates someone and how to utilize that to help them grow and develop. Abraham Maslow’s development of the “Hierarchy of Needs” helped create a shift in psychology and how we view human behavior. When Maslow created his “Hierarchy of Needs” his goal was to look at human behavior from a different perspective. All other schools of thought, at that time, were focused on the problematic behaviors of humans. So, this new viewpoint challenged professionals to approach ....

    Goal Setting - Unleash Your Child's Potential

    Goal setting is one of the most highly linked characteristics to the success that individuals have. Top athletes and successful people all use goal setting. And while it is a trait that is most often associated with adolescents and adults, younger children can also benefit greatly from beginning this life skill at an early age.

Our experience here has been great so far. We love this place and the instructors. They are dedicated and have lots of patience with the kids. They are very attentive to the kids and correct them if they are not paying attention. Special thanks to coach Tan for doing such great job communicating with the little kids and connecting with their feelings. And also thanks to coach Troy for being playful with the younger kids to make class more fun but strict enough to the older ones when needed to be discipline.

I absolutely love everything about Wushu Central! The instructors are great and have such patience with the kiddos. They are good at communicating with the kids when they need correction and or help. Watching my kids is sometimes hard since I’m not on the floor with them to correct or help them. The instructors always see those that things I do and jump in to help them. You can see the passion in what they’re teaching at Wushu Central and I see the benefits of all that work at home in my kids! Thank you Wushu Central!
