Syosset Karate Kids kicking strong and being confident. In this video Masters Martial Arts Black Belt student Erica shows how to perfect the roundhouse kick.

Karate Kids in Syosset are getting stronger every day at Masters Martial Arts learning true martial arts skills.  Master Mike Lee at Masters Martial Arts teaches kids from ages 4-64! According to Master Mike teaching kids confidence, focus and self defense techniques that can help them is an honor.  But self defense alone is not enough as kids also need to feel confident by the way they look and feel and how they think others view them.  In this video Erica V. demonstrates a round house kick that requires focus and power.  Erica is also getting ready for the first Competition of the year at Queens Borough Community College this Saturday 10/4/14.  She currently places gold medals in forms and board breaking since her last 4 tournaments.

Round house kicks are an effective kick in self defense as it can be applied to the abdominal area or toward the inner thigh region.  Kicks are effective in self defense as the reach and power is stronger compared to punches when just using hands and arms.  The round house kick also keeps kids bellies trim as the core is engaged and also creating stability and strength in kids hips and on their standing leg.  Students at Masters Martial Arts NY have fun kicking paddles and punching bags when using the round house kick.  When applying the round house kick students need to make sure that they are warmed up and stretched out.  When aiming at targets students are taught to aim with their knee first and then strike.  The knee always determines the placement of the foot.  Putting all the right movements and having correct posture and technique gives children confidence in knowing that they are empowered and successful in kicking.  


Master Mike loves it when kids are smiling and sweating during his workouts and sees that they are getting physically and mentally with every class.  Kids training at the Syosset Dojang are always encouraged to do their best and are always safe as the staff teach them.
