You Can Increase YOUR Child’s Confidence, Self-Esteem and Focus…. Using Our Private “Do Karate After School Fitness and Success Program!” You’ll have the piece of mind knowing that your child is safe, your child is active and your child is learning valuable life skills that will make them leaders! Back to school season is in full swing. If you’re like many parents you’re scrambling to pick up those all important “School Supplies.” Topping the list are pencils, pens, notebooks, art supplies and many others. All will be much needed tools for your child throughout the 2011-2012 school year. But did you know that there are some very important intangible secrets that can help your child have a fantastic year? These “Intangible Secrets” usually don't make the “school supply” list. The Driving Force of Greater Academic Success... The core skills of success are character qualities such as self-confidence, personal responsibility, respect for self and others and self-discipline. Having these core character qualities in tact and, more importantly, developed, will cause your child’s attitude to be positive which will then enable her to excel academically. There's also a “physical” side to attitude...
Research now shows increased physical activity can help standardized test scores rise as well as – improve reading ability. Increased physical activity has also been linked to fewer episodes of fighting and better attendance. "It seems fitness and nutrition aren't just good for your health – they're good for academic achievement as well," said author Melanie Guertin. Major Breakthroughs... My Name is Master Eric Shields and I've been teaching Martial Arts right here in Puyallup since the mid 90's and what i've discovered is that when you combine intense physical exercise with the proper teaching of mental skills like focus and concentration – then add the core life skills training you can’t help but create a winning formula that will set your child up for success in school and life. But a key component to the formula is to make it fun. When you make it fun kids forget that they are getting in great shape, developing better mental skills and being ingrained with rock solid character qualities that will last them a life time. And we make it fun here at Champions Martial Arts Center Martial Arts Classes Are the Secret... A high quality martial arts curriculum like the one we use here at CMAC marries education, fitness and entertainment. Kids develop a sense of Self-Confidence by becoming proficient in the arts. As their sense of self-confidence rises it then positively affects their attitude which then affects their academic performance in a positive way. The fear of raising their hands to answer questions disappears. Children schooled in the arts are more capable of dealing with the inevitable “Bully” in a very tactful and non-violent way. They are less likely to give in to negative peer pressure.They are more driven and ambitious and they are not afraid to set big goals for themselves. But will my Child Stay With It? One major concern for many parents is undoubtedly commitment. Kids do tend to quite activities. The difference that we are seeing that helps retention in martial arts compared to other activities is the bond that they form with their instructors. The entertaining way in which our program is presented and the short and long range goals that students set for themselves really helps. Your child will always have something to reach for. Will My Child Become A Bully?
A lot of us might think back to the first “Karate Kid” movie and those thugs from the “Cobra Kai Dojo.” Many parents worry about extremely rigid instruction and their children becoming aggressive. If you sat in on a couple of classes at Champions Martial Arts and watched me teaching kids the Martial Arts you’d notice that quite the opposite is true. There’s so much respect for self and others plus the arts are giving kids a way to burn off a lot of the extra aggression.What you’ll actually discover is the aggressive kid calming down and the bully developing the self-respect he needs to prevent him from feeling he has to lash out to prove himself.
