Children’s Karate for: Survivors of Cancer In current treatment Have a parent or sibling that is a survivor or in treatment Karate training strengthens the body and mind. Children that are fighting, fought, or have family members with cancer are immensely strong and courageous. Consequently, they take to karate quite naturally. At Kicking Cancer your child will learn both the physical and philosophical aspects of karate. All classes emphasize the way of the warrior, Bushido, a life of gentle strength. We study two life themes: The Classical Hero’s Journey and The Seven Virtues of Bushido. Benefits of Karate: Increased physical strength Enhanced confidence Better balance and coordination Camaraderie with other children who have had similar experiences Instructor with professional expertise working with medical and emotional issues Every lesson
includes an in depth discussion about the life of a warrior and
hero. The Seven Virtues of Bushido: Integrity Respect Courage Honor Compassion Honesty and Sincerity Duty and Loyalty The Hero’s Journey: Call To Adventure (learn to take advantage of opportunities) Slaying the Dragon (courage is the response to fear) Transformation (continuation of our growth) Return (helping others)
