“Your Childs Inner Potential, Determination, And Unshakeable Focus are Just a Few Martial Arts Classes Away!!”
From giving kids a sense of focus and discipline… to helping kids overcome ADD and other hardships… our martial arts classes are shocking parents at the kinds of results their children are seeing. Read on to see how we’ve helped kids of all ages, shapes, and sizes greatly improve their lives – and have a TON of fun along the way!
Not Achieving Their Full Potential In School?
Many parents have really smart kids – but they just have a hard time focusing, and getting their work done. As a result, their grades suffer. And often, their self- esteem goes down with their grades. If only they could learn to focus and pay attention.
Issues with Bullies
It’s never easy hearing your child talk about being picked on by a bully. You want to feel safe sending your child to school – not on edge and worried about their well-being. Unfortunately, every school has a bully in some shape or form… But what if your child knew how to easily deal with them (in a non-violent way?)
Trouble Finding Their Passion?
Some kids have trouble finding something they’re passionate about. For other kids – its easy and natural. But there are some kids
who just haven’t found the right activity yet… They seem a bit “lost” or maybe like they don’t care. But really, they just haven’t found something that’s right for them.
They Crave Physical Activity, But Just Aren’t The “Team Sports” Type.
Does your kid love running around and exercising – but just doesn’t seem to fit into team sports? They’re not alone. Many kids are like this. Team sports are not for everyone. In fact, team sports can often hurt your kid’s self-esteem if they’re just really not cut out for them. However, your kid could really be a shining athlete.
Maybe they just haven’t found the right sport to shine at yet. Martial arts could be just the thing to get them going – and help them develop their natural, athletic abilities.
ADD, ADHD, And Overall Rowdiness (The “Can’t Sit Still” Syndrome)
Some kids just cant sit still. They seem to have this inner-fire constantly burning – and they just cant relax and take a deep breath. If only they could find a way to be calm… their lives would change so much for the better. Many people think medication is the only thing that can help – but they don’t feel comfortable with it. They want a natural, healthy way to help their child… To be honest – there are more reasons than I could possibly name why people come into our doors. Maybe you could really relate to some of the ones above… or maybe you have reasons of your own. However – through martial arts we’ve helped children with all of these issues and more. In fact, nothing makes me happier than seeing a child’s self-esteem shoot through the roof… or hearing how their grades have improved… seeing them open up and come out of their shell… It’s what keeps me going, day in and day out 🙂
THAT’S WHY WE USE THE SECRETS OF MARTIAL ARTS, COMBINED WITH GOOD AMERICAN FUN, TO HELP YOU AND YOUR CHILD SEE THESE AMAZING CHANGES IN YOUR LIVES!
Unshakeable focus and attention.
In martial arts, we help children calm their minds to give them a sense of unshakeable focus. As a result – they make better grades, pay better attention during conversation, and are overall more calm and at peace… And as a result, they smile bigger, and more often. They open up more, and feel happier and more confident in themselves.
Better grades
Believe it or not – we’ve seen plenty of kids go from D’s and F’s to A’s and B’s! And kids who were making B’s and C’s are now making A’s, too! When you learn to control your mind – and direct your focus and energy – the sky’s the limit. Also, your child will feel proud of their grades. When you hang those great report cards on the fridge – they’ll be ecstatic. And you’ll get to show them off to all of the other parents, too 🙂
A deep respect for self and others.
One of the things parents often tell us is what their kids’ teachers are saying. Many teachers are simply dumbfounded by the level of respect kids in martial arts give them. They refer to them as “sir” and “ma’am” – and don’t have to be told more than once to get things done. This goes for school, and home! If you have to tell your child 10x before they’ll get anything done – get ready for a major change…
The ability & confidence to stand up for themselves – and others.
The myth about bullies is absolutely true: if you stand up to them, they back down. However, most kids are too scared to stand up to them. But when your child’s confidence dramatically grows, they’ll have the confidence to stand up for themselves – and other kids – when a bully gets in their face.
No kid will ever be able to pick on, or take anything away, from your child. Ever. Your child will have the ability, and the confidence, to defend themselves and others.
And of course – FUN!
Don’t be surprised when your kid starts reminding you that it’s time to go to martial arts class! It happens all the time. Parents who are used to “dragging” their kids everywhere breathe a sigh of relief… when their kids are the ones anxious to get out the door.
Frequently Asked Questions:
“Will martial arts make my kid violent?”
Absolutely not! We don’t teach kids how to kick and punch so they can go down the street and beat up the neighbor’s kid.
Instead, we teach kids self-defense as a tool for personal growth and development.
Kids learn to treat others as they want to be treated. They learn to respect all living things – from their parents to pets.
Often, kids who were violent before they joined our class changed, and became non-violent. So no, martial arts won’t make your child violent!
“What if my child’s not athletic? Will he have a hard time?”
Often children who don’t find success in team sports come to martial arts. And they love it.
That’s because with martial arts you go at your own pace.
See, team sports actually harm the self-esteem of children who aren’t very athletic. When they don’t perform well, the other kids can be pretty nasty. And this can leave some serious scars on their self-esteem.
But with martial arts, they can’t let anyone down. Everyone goes at their own pace. Some kids learn quicker than others – but the children who advance quickly are not valued more than the kids who advance slowly.
Everyone is greatly encouraged – regardless of his or her athletic level.
“Will my child get hurt?”
I’ve had children come to my program for years without ever obtaining a single injury.
This is actually the case with most children.
Have children gotten injured in my martial arts class? Yes, some have. But the injuries were no different than those which kids who play baseball and other sports get.
In the words of a parent I recently spoke with, “The instructors pay attention to detail when it comes to safety.”
From padded floors, to proper gear, to step-by- step instruction – we do everything in our power to insure your child’s safety. I can’t guarantee your child won’t be injured – but I can tell you that almost no children receive injuries in my program.
And that’s because we take your child’s safety very seriously.
“Will my child have fun? Will he want to stick with the program?”
When parents take their kids to appointments – normally the parent has to run around and do everything in their power to get their children to the appointment on time.
“Hurry up!” they shout, “We’ll be late!” (How many times have you said this?)
But with martial arts, something fascinating happens… Often the children are the ones yelling these things! They don’t want to be late, and they never want to miss a class.
In fact, I know of many parents who use martial arts as an incentive to get chores done. If the kids are good, do their chores, and do their homework – they get martial arts as a reward.
That’s because your child will have a ton of fun. He’ll be laughing and smiling throughout the entire class. And because He’ll constantly be setting and reaching goals – He’ll want to stick with the program.
It will become a part of his life as if it was always there.
“Is martial arts just for boys? Or can my girl take martial arts too?”
On this page I’ve said “he” a lot. But the truth is, there are just as many girls in many of our classes as there are boys.
Girls love martial arts just as much, and get the same fulfillment out of it as boys do.
Also, if I’ve learned anything in my years of teaching, its that girls are just as tough as boys. Many are even tougher!
So you don’t have to worry about your little girl getting hurt, or feeling scared because she’ll be practicing with boys. In fact, the boys may even be the ones who are scared.
“Will my child learn a talent that they can be proud of?”
Many children find pride in being able to do “cool” things like dancing, juggling, singing, playing an instrument, etc., etc., etc.
I’ve seen many kids enter talent shows, and show off their martial arts skills. The crowd is blown away every time!
There’s simply something fascinating and exciting about watching martial arts. And your child will take great pride in his abilities.
“What age is appropriate for martial arts?”
We have programs for kids who are 4 years old all the way to teenagers. And we even have programs for adults.
So to be honest – every age is appropriate. No child is too young or too old. We have a class that fits just right.
Warning!!!!!
Word about the results children are seeing is spreading from parent to parent like crazy! Our classes may fill up at any time. To insure that your child gets a spot, take action now and Contact us, or call today! I can’t wait to meet you and your child, and get started!
