We have seen success in self-esteem, self-reliance, discipline, better grades in school, conduct and many other areas.

Do you know why children and adults LOVE USA Martial Arts & Kickboxing School?

Self-Confidence As you train in martial arts, you will notice a lot if improvements, such as your physique, balance, awareness, flexibility, and many other physical and mental characteristics. Martial Arts will teach you how to combine these capabilities and use them to succeed in competitions, attaining higher belts, building friendships and protecting yourself if necessary. The more you can do, the more confident you will be.

Self-Defense One of the most common reasons to study martial arts is to learn how to defend one’s self. A number of schools may dedicate class time and/or offer a scheduled class that strictly goes over self-defense tactics. Also, depending on the MA style or school, self-defense can be a large part of the curriculum, which can be beneficial to those interested in "applicable arts" (arts you can use in every-day life) as opposed to "traditional arts". 

Self-Discipline Webster defines self-discipline as the “correction or regulation of oneself for the sake of improvement”. Whether it be trying to make a high-school team or meeting company deadlines, once you learn the focus necessary to succeed in Martial Arts you can apply it to the rest of your life. Success is mental, and Martial Arts will teach you the self-discipline necessary to succeed at anything you put your mind to. 

Coordination Martial arts does require a lot of hand, foot, eye, and mental coordination, but all of this is developed over time. If you consider yourself as an uncoordinated person, training in the martial arts will help you grow those skills. You’ll be amazed what your body is capable of doing! Even if you are a natural athlete, standing on one foot, while kicking with the other, and blocking with your hands is quite difficult and involves coordination. 

Fitness Martial Arts does not have to focus only on fighting or self-defense as some styles are based more on fitness. Tae Bo and Tai Chi are two examples of this. However, those with an interest in the fighting & self-defense aspects of Martial arts will find their fitness levels quickly increasing as training not only develops various muscle groups, but flexibility and balance as well. One's level of fitness can be just as important in winning a match as one's skills and abilities. 

Family Enjoyment This is an excellent way to spend time together with your family! Some martial art schools allow families to train together and others separate classes by age groups. Regardless of how classes are segregated, families find themselves enjoying the time spent together. It is not unheard of having a family all test together for various ranks and black belts. 

 Meet New People Our martial art school has 2 age groups: Kids – which can range from about 4 and up. This allows you to train with people that are relatively of equal skills and age. Often times people that start martial arts together and develop a bonding friendship end up obtaining their black belts at the same time because they pushed one another during their challenging times.

Holistic Self Defense for Kids Helps Them Defeat Bullies and Defend Negative Forces in Life

Holistic Self Defense For Children
You've probably heard positive things about Taekwondo for children and the amazing benefits in confidence, coordination and self control it helps kids develop. You may already know people who put their kids in martial arts to gain self-esteem or handle a bully.

Beyond The Kick, Punch and Throw

USA Martial Arts & Kickboxing Phoenix stands for something beyond the kick, punch and throw.  It is a positive place with encouraging instructors who lead by example and have accomplished some amazing things.  The care these role models show students is a key to instilling confidence, character and excellence at every level.

 
Defend Against Negative Forces

At USA Martial Arts & Kickboxing Phoenix, we teach how to defend against the negative forces in your child’s life. While your child may not be attacked everyday physically, how often will they be forced to face problems such as peer pressure, lack of focus, or lack of confidence?

This Training Goes Beyond What Other Sports Can Give

Give your children the opportunity to develop an inner-strength that will defend against outside bad influences that can hold them back, destroy confidence and become fearful, vulnerable or insecure.

All Martial Arts Schools Are NOT Created Equal

Rest assured, your son or daughter will know how to spot and avoid dangerous situations, conflict avoidance skills, and how to avoid using physical force.  Without ever throwing a kick, punch or even a block they will have tools to handle conflicts, bullying and aggression by using street smarts and martial arts wisdom.

They'll learn peace before punches.  Of course, if the need arises, your child will be prepared to handle themselves in a last resort self defense situation.

Phoenix Karate Kids Stand Against Bullying

For immediate release
Contact John Nottingham 602-896-8721

Today a group of Phoenix karate kids joined over 1.3 million students in over 2,100 schools Stand for Change against bullying.  As part of the Phoenix BullyProof project they teamed up with Defeat the Label to promote the demonstration of unity and peace.

The karate kids are from USA Martial Arts & Kickboxing Phoenix at Tatum and Greenway.  They were given fliers about the event in addition to training on how to handle bullying and the importance of treating others with respect, compassion and kindness.

USA Martial Arts Master Instructor John Nottingham said, "I started the Phoenix BullyProof Project to share peace education and conflict avoidance skills for bullying prevention.  Stand4Change was a great opportunity to partner with a national organization to promote awareness and give USA Martial Arts students a chance to put our leadership, citizenship and bullying prevention lessons into action. In addition to our workshops, camps and other bullying prevention training, it is one more way of reaching our community."

Defeat the Label/Stand4Change.org is promoting a series of events and promotions aimed at bullying awareness including a website, pledge, celebrity support as well as a song.  Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Ellen, Cody Simpson and the Jonas Brothers have already taken a stand and you can too.  Individuals can take the pledge here.

The force behind Stand4Change.org is Ken Kragen, known for his Hands Across America "We are the World" charity song project in the 80s.  The event kicked off a movement to raise awareness about bullying and to encourage discussions on respect and peace education.

Listen Free to Bullying Specialist John Nottingham's Radio Interview on Bully Busters

Bullying In Arizona and America

Arizona has adopted one of the more expensive and ineffective bullying prevention programs.  On a regular basis we see children who have fallen through the cracks and need help with bullying.  "Their parents are desperate to get them help that provides practical solutions to real life bullying problems."  When your childs school anti-bullying program has failed, where can you turn?  Now you can have answers from professional protectors, not impotent, fearful professional pencil pushers.

Bullying has become a prevalent problem in American Society and a hot topic in Arizona.  

Bullying is a widespread and serious problem that can happen anywhere. It is not a phase children have to go through, it is not "just messing around", and it is not something to grow out of. Bullying can cause serious and lasting harm.

The three conditions need to exist to be categorized as bullying behavior:

• Imbalance of Power: people who bully use their power to control or harm and the people being bullied may have a hard time defending themselves
• Intent to Cause Harm: actions done by accident are not bullying; the person bullying has a goal to cause harm [This has since been called into question as a defining criteria.]
• Repetition: incidents of bullying happen to the same the person over and over by the same person or group

Bullying Fact: Bullying is the #1 reason for absenteeism in schools.

What Are The Types of Bullying?

• Physical: kicking, pinching, punching, slapping, poking, hitting, pinning, pulling, tripping, shoving 
• Verbal: harassment, name-calling, teasing, taunting, insulting, mocking
• Social: spreading rumors, leaving people out on purpose, breaking up friendships 
• Cyberbullying: using the Internet, mobile phones or other digital technologies to harm others

Founder Was Target of Bullying

Founder, John Nottingham was the target of bullying and understands the pain, anguish, and trauma bullying can cause.  That is why John is so passionate about this subject.  

Feeling bullied and powerless was one of the primary reasons John Nottingham joined martial arts.  

If you feel powerless, trapped and frustrated as the target of bullying in school, at home, in the street, and on the playground then you have found an ally in John Nottingham.

Once John started training with martial arts, the bullying stopped almost instantly.  Once you know how to protect yourself and have these Bully Proofing skills, it makes a difference.  You carry yourself differently, address people differently and see problems in a whole new way.  

The empathy, compassion from remembering the feeling of helplessness is what makes our instructors so motivated to help children like us who experienced bullying.

Teaching Control - Not Violence

Some bullying prevention methods encourage violence, that is being a bigger bully and teaching them a lesson.  They forget that this often makes things worse and can escalate a situation to very dangerous levels of force.  Some other martial arts systems teach higher violence against violence which can get children into serious trouble, including with the law. 

"Our techniques are derived from teaching bouncers, law enforcement and bodyguards how to intercept violence before it begins and neutralize it in the most peaceful way possible.  Just as we do for law enforcement, we reverse engineer bullying attack scenarios children face and make them age appropriate.  We use strategy, leverage, distraction and mechanics to resolve bullying attacks. They are simple, proven and step by step bully violence neutralization techniques, concepts and principles that de-escalate a self defense situation."

Bully Defense The Wrong Way

Many martial arts (and hand to hand combat systems) teach a child to react with striking such as punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. These are problematic with school policies, not camera friendly, and can cause serious damage to another child.  In our oppinion, the punitive and percussive methods also may have a higher likelihood of escalating violence, retaliation or revenge attacks. 

http://kidslovemartialartsphoenix.com

Bully Defense The Right and Responsible Way

The Bully Proof Vest Self Defense program starts by teaching children how to recognize danger and avoid it.  Then they learn to verbally defuse potentially violent situations, to stop an attack or fight before it starts. However, if attacked, our students know force specific restraining self defense techniques that are defensive, use no striking, and can non-violently neutralize a bully attack. 

Fighting Fire With Water Peaceful Bully Solutions

The confidence provided by the Bully Self Defense program teaches our students, as the John Nottingham says, “to fight fire, be water and extinguish the flames.”

What Makes Our Bullying Solutions Approach Unique?

• Peaceful approach where physical intervention (self defense) is the last resort
• Based on Proven Bodyguard Tactics
• Builds The Individual's Confidence and Inner Strength
• Encourages Empathy, Kindness and Courage
• Force Appropriate So Children Don't Go Overboard (It protects both children)
• Proven practical for over 25 years - research and evidence based
• Fun teaching method that is age appropriate
• Continually updated and improved

Get started today and ARM your child with self confidence and inner strength to life a life of happiness and peace of mind.
