Self-Assurance – is having confidence in your own abilities or character. It is being confident in what we say and do and not doubting ourselves.

Dear parents/guardians,

This month we are learning about self-assurance and why it is such an important life skill. Self-assurance is having confidence in your own abilities or character. Self-assurance can open many doors for our children and is a big part of our class. We want our students to understand how self-assurance can help them succeed.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

  • Praise your child when they do well.
    It is important to let your child know you are proud of them. When they succeed at something, praise them and offer positive feedback.
  • Teach resilience.
    Nobody is perfect and succeeds at everything every time. Let your child know there will be setbacks and failures but these failures do not define them. Teach your kid to learn from their mistakes and move forward.
  • Be a role model.
    You must love yourself before you can teach your child to appreciate themselves. Praise yourself when you do well. Let your child know of your success and the steps you took to get there.
  • Help your child set realistic goals.
    When they start a new sport of course they want to be the best. Help them set small goals they can achieve before setting a huge goal that may be unrealistic.

About our programs

Early SKILLZ
Preschool - Kindergarten

3–4 year-olds are naturally curious. They might not be ready for the rigid structure of a traditional martial arts class ... but they do need to start learning about appropriate social behavior!

- DISCOVER -

Basic SKILLZ
1st Grade - 3rd Grade

It's often easy for teachers and parents to overestimate 5-6 year old children. They're better at following directions and paying attention than younger children, but they still need some help controlling themselves and focusing on tasks.

Core SKILLZ
3rd Grade - 5th Grade

Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily - far more easily than we do as adults. Not only are they getting healthier as they learn martial arts, but they're also learning the value of self-discipline and respect.

Junior Karate SKILLZ
Middle School Program

Karate may normally make you think of self-defense, fitness, and discipline ... the truth is, it's all of that and WAY more!
Our program helps our students build skills that they can APPLY to every area of their life and empower them to be the very best they can possibly be!

Teens Karate
High School Program

Instead of giving into the moodiness and attitude, take them to our dojo instead! Teenagers are smart and capable - but they can also be their own worst enemies. Between peer pressure, their innate urge to rebel against their parents, and their surging hormones, they can be impossible to be around. But all they need is an outlet for their frustrations - and an opportunity to be their best.- DISCOVER -
