Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for martial arts, there are several gifts you can consider that will both enhance his training and show your support for his interests. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas:

1. Training Gear: Invest in high-quality training equipment that aligns with his martial arts practice. This might include a new set of sparring gloves, shin guards, or a mouthguard. By providing him with the right tools, you're demonstrating your commitment to his growth as a martial artist.

2. Training Accessories: Consider purchasing accessories that can aid in his practice and technique development. For example, a heavy-duty punching bag or a freestanding- adjustable speed bag can help him improve his striking skills. Alternatively, a grappling dummy can assist him in practicing throws and submissions.

3. Martial Arts Apparel: Look into getting him some stylish and comfortable martial arts clothing, such as rash guards, grappling shorts, or a new gi (uniform). Personalize it with his name or initials to make it feel special and unique for him.

4. Martial Arts Book or DVD: Expand his knowledge and understanding of martial arts by gifting him a book written by a respected martial arts practitioner or a DVD with instructional videos. Choose a publication that focuses on his specific discipline or one that explores the history and philosophy of martial arts.

5. Private Lesson with a Master: Arrange a private session or workshop with a renowned martial arts master in his preferred discipline. This experience can be incredibly valuable, providing him with personalized guidance and mentorship, as well as the opportunity to learn from someone with years of experience.

6. Competition Entry Fee: If your son enjoys competing in martial arts tournaments, cover the entry fee for an upcoming competition. This demonstrates your appreciation for his dedication and talent, and encourages him to push himself further in his training.

7. Martial Arts Inspirational Artwork: Find a piece of artwork that captures the essence and spirit of martial arts. This could be a painting, a photograph, or even a sculpture. Hang it in a prominent place in his room to remind him of his passion and keep him motivated.

Remember, regardless of the gift you choose, the most important thing is to show your support and enthusiasm for his love of martial arts. These ideas should help facilitate his growth as a martial artist while also strengthening the bond between you as parent and child.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
