Canton Martial Arts - Folkestone

Let's get real, Folkestone.

Ever feel isolated in parenting? You're not alone. 🤝

Here’s why community is crucial in parenthood (and how to find it):

Community offers support, shared experiences, and relief from the parenting journey.

Being a parent changes everything, including so much about our identity!

In order for us to embrace the change, and even grieve for our life before parenthood, we need a safe community that can help us through the adjustments.

To take the best care of our family, we also need to take care of ourselves.

Parents of our children martial arts academy get the community all the time.

Come join us. But don't stop there. Search for local parenting groups and community events for children.

Building your village can make all the difference.

You're not alone, Parents.

We love you!

We can’t thank you enough, Folkestone!

Your feedback inspires us to keep improving.

Big thank you to all the parents that helped in class tonight, the Samurai’s loved it . Great work from the juniors and Adults and a big shout out to Eira who attended her First Adult class 👏👏

Leading by example isn’t just a leadership tip—it’s parenting gold! 💫🥋

Our children are constantly watching us, learning from us, and even copying us!

On the one hand, it sounds scary...

On the other hand - it means our actions do a lot more teaching than our words.

I've heard from many parents, "I hope my child will do it better than I did..."

But these parents don't realise it's never too late to do better. Right now is a perfect time to start.

It means being respectful in front of our children, even when it's hard.

It also means admitting when we've made a mistake, or lost our cool, and apologising, even if we don't think our children are watching.

Show your children how to handle stress, celebrate success, and work hard.

When they see you embracing life’s ups and downs with grace, they learn to do the same.

Let's model the behaviours we hope to see in them.

🌟 Your words motivate us and help us see the positive impact martial arts has on children.

Thanks for being an incredible part of our community, and sharing this with us!

Such a great vibe in all classes tonight . You were all awesome and this morning s why I love teaching you all . Keep up the good work 👏👏🥋

Just like Sophie in ‘Howl's Moving Castle,’ our children often shine brightest when challenged. 🏰

✨ At Canton Martial Arts, we create a supportive environment where they can face challenges safely and grow.

Remember, children are much stronger and more resilient than we think.

That means, they get frustrated and have trouble doing things sometimes, too!

But every challenge is an opportunity for them to get back up and keep going!

It's our job as Parents and Mentors to show them how. 💪

Martial ARTS family...

What kind of art gets you motivated, and why? 🎨🎵

Choose your muse!

❤️ MUSIC!
👍 Action Movies!
😭 Thoughtful Books/Poetry
👀 Something else!

Drop your emoji and tell us why it gets you to take action!

Feeling off your game? Agitated? Down?

Remember, movement is key to mental health!

And a little bit truly goes a long way.

Here are some quick exercises to integrate during your week to help jumpstart more movement, and bring your life into a better balance:

1️⃣ Chair Squats – Great for leg strength.

2️⃣ Desk Push-Ups – Keep that upper body strong.

3️⃣ Breathing Exercises – Reduce stress, focus your mind.

Every little bit helps keep your mind and body in tune!

Set a small goal (like 5-10x each) and watch yourself crush it.

Well deserved Samurai and Junior Student of the month . You have worked so hard to achieve the Golden Belts 👏👏

Every review helps us grow and continue providing the best experience for our young martial artists.

Your support means the world to us. Thank you!

Bluey's outlook on challenges is exactly what we aim for at Canton Martial Arts! 🐶✨

Martial arts can be tough, but it’s the 'fun kind of hard' that keeps children coming back.

It's about turning every challenge into a game. Every attempt makes you stronger and more focused.

We love making training fun and rewarding for your little champions!

Lots of effort tonight from everyone and the smiles whilst training say it all 🤩👏👏

Which one surprised you the most?

Is your child struggling to get homework done?

Try the 'Martial Arts Minute Break'! 📚

After every 15 minutes of focused work, let your child do a minute of martial arts

Set a timer for one minute

Have your child balance on 1 leg, or run as many laps as they can around the room

This little break can boost concentration and make homework time a bit more fun!

It’s all about balancing discipline with enjoyment.

Really good classes tonight . Samurais went through their Basic and sparring combos and improving their kicks . They also received the Fitness badges and some were awarded Japanese counting and Belt tying 👏👏
Well done Malaika for your first class in the Junior class , you did a great job 👏

Big shoutout to everyone dropping reviews! 🌟

We're so grateful to hear from you!!!🥋

Resilience: something we focus on in every martial arts class! 🐷🥋

When your child learns to stand up after a fall, they're not just practicing a skill, they're building the confidence to face any challenge.

Encourage them to 'keep playing the game' of life with courage and a smile!

Happy September, Folkestone families!
