The Confidence to Shut Down Bullies

If you have watched the ‘80s film ‘The Karate Kid’ or its 2010 remake, there are many life lessons to be learned, key among them about firmly facing bullies.

Sportsmanship in Kids and Teens

It's not about teaching our kids how to handle success, it's about teaching our kids how to handle how to come back from being unsuccessful at something. In martial arts we lose.... we lose a lot. We lose so much that we start to understand how to win. This building process through failure in a safe environment is what shapes the "winning attitude" in our next generation of young leaders. Has your child ever been a "sore loser"....?The even tougher question, have you ever been a "sore loser"....? The cure to this is very simple. Lose more and get good at it. 😉 Which do you think is more important? Learning how to win or learning how to lose? ....

Martial Arts vs Children & Video Games

Would you rather have your kids on video games or interact with real people? 🤔 Did you know that video games trigger dopamine receptors in a child's brain? That's right..... the same receptors as any other addictive substance would trigger. Did you know that's why kids throw a tantrum if you try to pull them off the games? It's a form of withdrawal. That's why we believe so highly in martial arts. Rather than being dependent on a device.... we actually teach the kiddos the healthy way of developing a way to feel good.

Routine after Summer Break

Parent obstacle tip. "How will I get my child back into their routine after summer break?" We love this obstacle. What's the answer....? It's simple: Kids definitely need a break, just like us parents. However, they still need a structured routine as well. If we stayed home from work for a week, we'd still have plenty of responsibilities as well. Kiddos are the same, just on a smaller more age-appropriate spectrum. Rather than let them veg out completely, layer in fun and "work' throughout their day. Chores✅ Play✅ Chores✅ Family time✅ Play✅ Bedtime routine✅ Using this layering method you can keep them focused on growth and not have any trouble getting them back ....

My preschooler has participated in the tiger classes at Park Karate for about 4 months and we’ve already noticed a growth in his confidence and focus. I appreciate the flexible class schedules and that the owner is more often than not present and very active. Multiple sets of siblings are enrolled, it is obvious why this is one of the more popular programs around.

I love the place and the experience the instructors have is superb. Master Raimundi is a caring instructor who not only worries about the karate improvement of his students but also of all the aspects of the kids personal improvement.

This school is amazing!! My younger brother attended this school and I had the pleasure of watching him grow up into a respectful young man. I know that it was his attendance to the ATA Park Karate program that helped shape him into the young man he is today. In fact he told me that being in the program helped him become the disciplined hard working individual he is today. Knowing that I decided to enroll my 5 year old son in the program when he was 4 years old and I can already see the positive changes in my own child. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a positive activity for their child.
