Martial arts benefits

Are there still anyone who doubts (in general) the benefits of martial arts training for children?

Story:
Martial arts benefits outweigh its negative stereotypes.

Practicing martial arts is said to increase a child's coordination, social skills and confidence. Plus, instructors at local martial arts studios say they have seen positive changes in the behavior of children they teach.

Gaining self-esteem is one way children who study martial arts benefit, Thompson says.

"Children who do martial arts walk differently because they develop confidence. And because of that, they don't get picked on as often."
