Martial Arts for ADHD: Focus and Energy in Surrey
Children and adults with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) often have incredible energy and creativity, but they may also struggle with focus, impulse control, and confidence. At Absolute Martial Arts in Surrey, we’ve seen how martial arts provides the perfect balance of structure and activity to help students with ADHD channel their energy in positive ways.
Why Martial Arts Helps with ADHD
Martial arts is designed around discipline, movement, and achievable goals, which makes it especially supportive for students with ADHD.
• Structured Classes
Sessions follow a consistent routine — warm-up, drills, partner work, cool-down — helping students stay on track.
• Positive Outlet for Energy
Martial arts uses kicks, punches, and movement to release energy in a focused, constructive way.
• Improves Focus and Attention
Students learn to follow instructions, concentrate on technique, and stay engaged in short, manageable bursts.
• Encourages Self-Control
Martial arts traditions like bowing, respect, and waiting for your turn teach impulse control in a natural way.
