Schools are not giving children enough physical education
Schools are not giving children enough physical education
Hi, my name is Kun(Sean) Yi,
While parents send their children to school to get a well-rounded education, many are concerned about the level of physical activity that kids get throughout the average week. In fact, a new study from NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health found about one-quarter of more than 1,300 parents of public school children in grades K-12 believe schools don’t pay enough attention to physical education.
In addition, 28 percent of respondents would give a C, D or F to their kids’ school when it comes to the allocation of time to educate about the importance of being active.
Schools need to do a better job
What may be the most startling statistic determined in the study is that 68 percent of parents said their children’s schools do not provide daily physical education classes. Some schools are simply ignoring the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control, which recommend for them to have daily physical education classes.
“Experts recommend that high school and middle school students get 225 minutes of physical education per week during the school year, but in fact many don’t get that much,” said Dwayne Proctor, who directs the childhood obesity team at the RWJF. “Parents should let their state boards of education and their local school districts know that they want more PE for their kids, and encourage state and local policymakers to provide the necessary resources for full implementation.”
Parents have to take matters into their own hands
With fewer than half of children in the United States getting the recommended 60 minutes of daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, or even 150 to 225 minutes of physical education per school week, it is up to parents to ensure their kids are keeping their bodies healthy. By getting children involved in something they like to do, it’s much easier for them to get the appropriate amount of exercise on a daily basis.
Dr. Jim Marks, director of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the CDC, said it is the responsibility of parents to reinforce a physically active lifestyle for their children. This is why it may be a good idea to get children involved in Tae Kwon Do or Karate classes. Martial arts training not only gives children a place to exercise, but they can also meet a lot of new friends along the way.

Martial Arts for Teens
Martial Arts for Pasadena Teens
Did you know according to the American Council on Exercise that by the time they reach high school, 63% of kids are no longer physically active! I think you can agree this is not a good trend.
Hi this is ,
As the owner of National Taekwondo Center-Pasadena here in Pasadena, I have great concern for the teens in our community.
I have good news for you because the training at National Taekwondo Center-Pasadena can prepare your teen for a lifetime of success and happiness!
In addition to the benefits of physical fitness, teens develop a positive mindset where problems become challenges to overcome, rather than insurmountable obstacles. Beyond mere physical self-defense, your teens will also learn emotional self-defense against negativity.
Even more, we teach teenagers how to set goals and how to grow stronger emotionally with each accomplishment; they build the self-confidence to continue to challenge themselves in everything they do, and to be the very best they can be!
National Taekwondo Center-Pasadena instructors provide inspiration and motivation to teach your teens to motivate themselves and others! When you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything!
Lastly, your teens will develop camaraderie with Martial Arts classmates, and use the positive influence at his or her academic school, to inspire other students!

Martial Arts Training at National Taekwondo Center-Pasadena is truly an investment in your child’s future!
Hi, this is Master Kun(Sean) Yi,
As one famous singer said and I now echo, “I believe the children are our future.”
You know your child spends more time being sedentary on iPods, iPhones, and iPads, which leads to many chronic health problems according to the American Council on Exercise.
Martial Arts Training at National Taekwondo Center-Pasadena is truly an investment in your child’s future! Martial Arts training has been shown to greatly improve concentration and focus.
Martial Arts classes are not only a great means of exercise for our little bundles of energy, but also a valuable supplement to academic education in Pasadena and Altadena, Kinneloa Mesa. Kids learn to set and achieve goals, which builds self-confidence; in addition, kids learn leadership skills and develop lasting friendships among their classmates.
The best defense against bullies is confidence. More often than not, bullies will walk away when their victim has the confidence to stand up for him/herself.
Training in the Martial Arts has been proven to establish healthy habits for children early in life so they become happy, healthy, well-balanced adults.
