A fun, structured, fitness & leadership, after school program
Hello Busy Parents,
Back to school season is in full swing. If you'r 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 you child throughout the 2009-2010 school year. But did you know that there are some very important intangible secrets that can help your child have a fantastic year? These "Intangilbe Secrets" usually don't make the "School Supply" list.
The Driving Force of Greater Academtic Sucess...
85% of your child's success in school is going to be based on his attitude. His attitude will affect how receptive he is to his teachers and how well he adjusts to his classmates. A key to academic success is how your child adapts to his classroom enviorment. His attitude will affect his ability to deal with the challenges of new school work. The truth is that your child's attitude is either going to be postive or negative. I'm sure you'd agree that he'll be better off with a postive attitude, right? So the question is..."What's the secret to any child developing and maintaining a postive attitude when there's negativity to drag him down?"
A postive attitude can only come from within. There are some core "life and character" skills that, when developed properly, can manifest a postive. The good news is that all of these "Core Skills" can be learned. What are the core skills? The core skills of sucess are character qualities such as self confidence, personal resposibility, respect for self, and others and self-discipline. Having these core character qualities intact and more importantly, developed, will cause your child's attitude to be postive which will then enable him to excell acedemically.
Major Breakthroughs...
My Name is MeLisa Strongheart and I've been teaching martial arts right here on Mercer Island since 1997. What we have found is that when you combine intense physical excercise 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 a 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 a lifetime.
"I just wanted to thank you for running such a wonderful program , especially for kids. My kids love the
program and look forward to it every week. I love the fact that, in addition to teaching martial arts skills
you also teach great life skills (respect, cooperation, goal setting, courage, gratitude, postive attitude,
knowledge, and focus) that have shown immediate results at home. Great work". -Rob Wooston, Parent
Life Enhancing Benefits--No Special Skills Required...
We found that it really doesn't matter what the child's current fitness level or social skills are. To benefit from our program they doen't have to be a "star athlete", "socially outgoing" or already have good concentration skills. Many parents whose children have attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder show great success with our program because of the self-control and concentration are excactly the skills underdeveloped in these kids.
We've been helping kids and families on Mercer Island for 12 years and I know first hand that Martial Arts classes are not just for the athletic kids. Kids that are out of shape and even kids with disabilities can do things that they or their parents never dreamed possible. Ove active children begin to focus their energy and concentrate better. Shy children come out of their shells. Athletic children get to push themselves and learn highly techinical material
Our Program Helps Kids develop:
The self esteem to believe "they can do what they put their minds to."
The self-assurance and personal confidence to say "NO" to unhealthy peer pressure when the time undoubtedly comes
The poise and mental toughness to stand up to the bully without violence.
The ability and know how to set and acheive powerful goals.
The physical fitness that will help them with any sport that they want to play.
The ability to be more responsible for their actions and not always blames others for their mistakes.
The good news is that you really can give your child the most important school supplies this school year!
Confidence, Discipline, Focus, Leadership ability, Concentration, and physical fitness. These skills and character qualities are a perfect fit for any parent looking to bring out the best acedemic performance this year!
Of Course Space is Limited!
Because Mercer Island Martial Arts operates like a private school we really are limited on the amount of new students we can let in during this back to school season. As of now we are allowing 31 new students. They usually go fast so it's a good idea to take action NOW!
