Benefits for Children

With the New Year approaching, the need for Martial Arts for children is greater than ever. Thirty years ago there was little distraction for kids, less options, it was simple growing up. Today, it is totally different; kids are subject to much more than older generations were. There is more pressure in children today and choosing an activity is something that few parents have the time to do.

Martial Arts are an individual sport. It is something that will build your child’s spirit. While team sports are good to show children how to work with others, the Martial Arts teach both teamwork and individual practice. Children move at their own pace, train for their own needs, and practice for their personal best. When they want to quit, the only people they are letting down is them.

As your children grow up, they will be faced with many personal decisions. With martial arts training, they will be given the tools to make the right decision on their own. Through teaching self-discipline and character development, Martial Arts groom your child to be a leader. We are not suggesting that your children not participate in team sports, however we are suggesting having your children participate in something that will develop their self-discipline and spirit.

If you would like more information on how we can help your child through Martial Arts training, please respond to this message and we will contact you regarding a free lesson at our school in order to demonstrate how Martial Arts will help your child. Invest in your child’s future in 2010, and get results that will last a lifetime!

As I sit here watching football and occasionally looking out the window two things occur to me.
First, now might be a good time to remind everyone that if Marysville schools are closed due to snow so are we.
Second, I am reminded how lucky I am to be sitting here in a warm house, enjoying football with plenty of food in the cupboards. There a lot of people this holiday season not nearly as lucky. Next time you come to class, please, please, please bring some non-perishable boxed or canned food for our food drive. There is a big red container in the lobby next to the bulletin board. Let’s do our best to fill it. If you are feeling extra generous, and I hope you are, you can also bring an unwrapped toy or gift. All of the donations we go to the Marysville Food Bank. Let’s do what we can to brighten the holidays of those less fortunate than us.

December Yoga/Pilates Schedule

If you attend any of our Tuesday or Thursday morning Yoga/Pilates classes, be sure to check the bulletin board for the revised December schedule.

ATTENDANCE

Regular class attendance is key when it comes to learning the martial arts or any other skill.

As a parent it can be tough to juggle all of your daily activities, let alone those of your children. Still, you must remain diligent so that you can ensure your children are receiving the very best.

As much as it is your responsibility to make sure your children attend regularly and on time, it is our responsibility to assist you and make sure we are providing you with the tools you need.

As some of you already know, we have been working hard to implement a new attendance tracking system. This new systems notifies us whenever classes are missed. If we notice that a student’s attendance is slipping a bit, we will be giving a quick courtesy call and sending an email to make sure that everything is Ok and find out if there is anything we can do to help.

This system is still fairly new to us and we expect to make a few mistakes. If we call you or email you by mistake please let us know.

Also, if you know your child will not be in class, please give a quick call or email to let us know. This way we can enter their absence as ‘excused’.

Together we can ensure you child’s consistent attendance and continued growth.
