Every child is born with something special – unlimited potential.
This unique gift just needs to be uncovered!
Their success and happiness is only really held back by two things . . . Fears and limiting beliefs.
The three most common things we help parents with are:
1.Shyness: Children that are afraid or hesitate to do things that are new or hard. It usually has to do with fear and/or lack of self confidence. (a clue: they want to stop or quit when they start doing something hard, uncomfortable or difficult)
2.Bullying: Children that are being bullied or treated meanly by other. They do not have the courage or skills to stop it. Nothing crushes a child's self confidence and spirit faster than bullying! (Many children in Brampton are bullied or treated meanly in school or in their neighborhood, and parents often never know!)
3.Behavior: Often referred to as "high energy" boys (and girls). Everything from the mild inability to listen and focus to the more severe cases of ADD, ADHD, Autism etc. (We have helped many parents keep their children off medication!)
“How can karate do all this?!” Look at it this way. Your child’s first and biggest challenge comes not from “fighting for his rights on the street”, or “beating up the neighborhood bully”. It comes, instead, from battling more sinister forces. Your child’s own fears and self doubts!
“I’m not as smart as John.“I’m just not good at math." “I wish I was as (strong, pretty, popular) as Sally.” “Why does Jim keep picking on me?”
Well here is the secret:
Martial Arts is less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting...themselves. Their innermost fears and self doubts. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within themselfves a powerful, unstoppable force. A force that gives her the strength to kick down the doors of her own self doubts, a force that opens your child to the life changing power of values, principles, character and the ability to reach his full potential.
You’re probably thinking “come on...how can punching and kicking improve my child’s self confidence, focus and self control?” Well, I’m here to tell you, in many more ways than you can begin to imagine. It is about developing a child from the “inside out.”
