At Cassar Academy, we go beyond just keeping your child safe—we actively help them develop a sharper, more capable mind and body. One of the ways we do this is through cross-lateral movement: exercises and techniques that require both sides of the body to work together, crossing the midline.

Why Does This Matter?

Research shows that cross-lateral movements (where the right arm/leg crosses to the left side and vice versa) engage both hemispheres of the brain, strengthening the communication between them. This “whole brain activation” is linked to:

• Improved coordination and balance
• Faster information processing
• Better memory and learning skills
• Enhanced reading, language, and problem-solving abilities

At Cassar Academy, our complex coordination drills and techniques are specifically designed to maximise these benefits. Every class helps your child build not just a stronger body, but a more adaptable, high-performing brain.

Designed for Lifelong Health

Unlike many sports that can damage joints or encourage unnatural movement, every single technique in Choi Kwang Do is engineered to work with the body’s natural structure. No twisting knees, no forced flexibility, no negative joint rotations—just movements that build strength, flexibility, and resilience in the safest way possible.

In short:

While other sports may put your child at risk of brain and joint injury, long-term training at Cassar Academy enhances both body and mind—setting them up to become truly exceptional individuals.

If you’d like to see how this approach can benefit your child, I’d love to invite you to try a class and see the difference for yourself. My door’s always open if you’d like to chat about your child’s development, or if you have any questions about our unique philosophy.

Warm regards,
