👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 7 Reasons Why Parents Should Join In With Martial Arts Lessons

By Sensei Andy

Martial Arts isn’t just for kids. At KRMA, we’ve seen time and time again how parents who step onto the mat experience real transformation—and even deeper family connections.

Whether you’re looking to support your child, improve your fitness, or find a bit of “you” time… this post is for you.


1️⃣ 90% of Parents Stay Because They Love It

That’s not a made-up number. In fact, the majority of parents who try Martial Arts after their child joins end up staying—because they genuinely enjoy the experience.
Once you try it, you’ll see why.


2️⃣ You’ll Understand What Your Child Needs

By training together, you’ll experience the same challenges, drills, and goals. That means you can support them better at home—and celebrate their wins with real understanding.


3️⃣ You Become the Role Model in Action

Your child is always watching.
If they see you training, working hard, and having fun… they’re more likely to stick with it too. You become the living example of what commitment and growth looks like.


4️⃣ It Builds a Stronger Adult Mindset

Life’s pressures don’t go away as we age. But our ability to deal with them can improve—especially through Martial Arts.
Training helps develop emotional resilience, focus, and calm under pressure. And we could all use a bit more of that.


5️⃣ You’ll Get Fitter, Healthier, and Feel Better

Martial Arts improves:

  • Balance

  • Co-ordination

  • Strength

  • Flexibility

  • Cardiovascular health

But beyond that—it makes you feel good. Training releases stress and builds a sense of personal achievement.


6️⃣ It’s a New Hobby You Can Love

You’ll meet great people, try things you never thought you could do, and discover strengths you didn’t know you had.
And the best part? You get to smile, laugh, and grow, all while kicking some pads.


7️⃣ Training Time is Your Time

Once you're on the mat, everything else fades. No emails. No housework. No pressure.
Just you, your body, and your focus. It’s like a reset button—and we all need that.
