Children can teach you a lot of patience and above all FOCUS. If you can focus on your instructor and your techniques, and ignore the distractions they cause, you will learn an important and valuable lesson that will help you throughout your martial arts training. You will also learn more quickly than they do, so you can soon advance into a class with more mature students.

Oh to be that age again ... no way; no thank; no hope; I have the same problem but am 35, more qualified than anyone else there (engineering PHd, military awards, management appointments, teaching diploma, sports instructor) but I still have to do as I am told because I too was once a white belt. You will be up the front of the class sooner or later and will wish that you were still in the ranks, its life, and martial arts teahces us how to deal with these things that get on our nerves the kicking/ punching realy hard is a means to that end. Discipline, dedication and hard work in the face of adversity

I too am a karateka. I'm 12 and am an orange belt. If you want anymore advice email me at colemarie94@yahoo.com. There are many young ones at the dojo I am instructed at. I try to calm down and remember that I was very young and annoying once too. I hang out with the kids my age at the dojo but I always try to understand the younger ones. I have helped one little girl many times and I am now realizing that they try to get your attention because they admire you and they want to be like you. When the time permits try to help them with their karate (if your sensei allows) show them how to work hard and focus. Also, you should not just be trying to get more belts you should slow down and smell the roses or, enjoy your classes, try hard, do your best and take in the beautiful experiences of martial arts.

A keep at it
B Don't get aggrevated by those kids, on the contrary train with them as much as you can. Women and children do not have great physical strength and thus have to rely heavily on technique. You can learn a great deal by working with kids

Focus... and set a good example to those younger than you.
Respectfully show them what it is like to train.
Watch them move. You can learn a lot from the softness of a child's moves.

Stick with it. Try and encourage one of your friends to join with you so that you can spar with someone who is a little more serious and also the same height as you. Good luck!

Can't you join an adults beginners class?
It might save you a lot of aggravation!
