Quick Tip for Increasing Kids Confidence


Here is a Quick Tip for Increasing Kids Confidence
Would Your Child Benefit From More Confidence?

The secret is out. Most parents now know the power that martial arts has to increase children's confidence and improve their self image.  In this article I will reveal a way to instantly see and feel a difference in the confidence of your child.

One of the secrets that martial arts has been using for years is the attention stance.  Here's why:

1. It improves posture
2. It helps evoke a feeling of pride and strength
3. It centers the mind and body
4. The eyes focus
5. Breathing improves from the diaphragm
6. It exercises self discipline
7. It exercises self control
8. It projects a positive self image to others
9. It promotes a feeling of being anchored
10. It improves first impressions

Practicing the attention stance has many benefits.  That's why military forces around the world use it to train soldiers.  Most of all, it is a way to practice standing tall, which influences a child's state-of-mind and being.  With practice, it improves, much like exercising a muscle.  Soon people notice the eye contact at first impressions, the good posture with shoulders back, chest up and a confident demeanor.  The position itself projects confidence and a centeredness that puts others at ease.

One lesson I learned from a wise Grand Master was that he insisted his children stand up to attention when either parent came home and be offered a polite greeting of the day.  Today his children are respected and known for being well mannered, confident individuals.  Additionally, they are highly successful in their fields.  Practice makes habit!

Discover how our Martial Arts Program will help you raise a safer, happier, healthier child all from learning to kick, block, and punch



WHAT'S THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR CHILD?...
CONFIDENCE!
A confident kid is UNSTOPPABLE!
Discover how our Martial Arts Program will help you raise a safer, happier, healthier child all from learning to kick, block, and punch

"I laughed when I heard that karate could help him in school…
Now he's a Straight A Student"

It's amazing, but true . . .  

(learn the same lessons that I have - with this special FREE offer!)
And all of it comes from learning how to "kick, block and punch." Still, you're wondering if this will work for your child. I understand.

Dear Parent,

I don't blame you. You're probably wondering, how could one activity have such an impact on my child?
Well, it's incredible, but true. The martial arts is not only a sport that can be enjoyed throughout a lifetime, but can also improve the quality of ones life! By teaching wholesome values and, success skills.

My name is John Nottingham, I'm the owner of one of the most successful martial arts schools in the Phoenix area.
For more than 20 years I've been nurturing children like yours with character building tools found only in martial-arts. No other sport can match them. I have consulted with over 10,000 Parents and many of them share the same concerns and priorities for their children.

Parents talk about the importance of positive influences, organized activity, developing discipline and confidence, goal-setting, and physical exercise.  I'm happy to report that many parents also found that training at USA Martial Arts can accomplish all these objectives.

Your child's Biggest Challenge comes from:

Their Fears and Self-Doubts.  And it's this limited way of thinking that is all around them that holds them back more than anything.

"I'm not as good as John."
"I never get what the teacher is saying."
"Other kids are getting all the breaks."
"How come I can't be as popular as Jane."
"I'm not good at this, it's just not for me."
"How come that kid keeps picking on me?"

The list goes on and on.  The question is: How can your child defend themselves against these attacks everyday?

When your child uses the power of martial-arts to conquer their fears, they have the power to transfer that to all other areas of life.

Martial-Arts lessons are the best way for your child to develop a continued feeling of confidence and achievement. When it is time for them to move up in rank we require they have your permission and the permission of their school teacher.  That is just one of the ways we encourage good academic performance.
Watch as your child increases in confidence, energy, and spirit.  You'll be amazed as they become unstoppable in their quest for:

 Greater Academic Accomplishments
 Superb Attitude   
 Fitness
 Unshakable Self Respect
 Personal Achievement   & Black Belt Excellence
All of this while having fun!
"Master Nottingham: Be sure to keep developing great leaders and minds for today's world. You have no idea how influential you have been in not just my life, but many others. I honestly don't know what type of person I would have become without martial arts forming a backbone for character."



- Derek Roberts, Georgia Tech University Student


Your Child will develop the "I Can" "I Will" attitude that will, more than anything, set them a part and make them a leader!
It Does Not happen over night! Anything worth while requires dedication, persistence, and commitment.  These character qualities can be learned by doing.  I know you're one of those very select parents who realizes that investing in your child now will pay you big dividends later.
Through our program your child will learn the 
fundamentals of LEADERSHIP:

Courage, Follow Through, Goal Setting, Communication Skills, Team Work, Self-Discipline, Self-Control, and the list goes on and on.

It doesn't matter whether your child is out of shape or a star athlete. Martial-arts training will increase their flexibility, stamina and overall health.  I have seen so many kids who were at first, over weight or felt physically inadequate transform their appearance and their confidence in themselves by becoming physically fit.

I have seen many star athletes gain the winning edge with the techniques they learn in martial-arts. Over the years I've also watched asthmatic children develop the ability to breathe easier. (I'm one of them. You can read my story in TKD Times Magazine here.)
But don't take my word for it………
"We, the Fox Family, want to thank EACH of you for making this one of the best experiences we have had – individually & together. At every class – from fellow lower belts to the many helpful upper belts that assist in class – we are met with such enthusiasm and encouragement!"
      -April, Chris and Ashley Fox (Armstrong/Hornberger)

"From my training throughout the last six years, I have gained so much that it is hard to explain with words.
I've become stronger mentally and physically, continue to strive beyond my expectations, devise goal plans and structured schedules to achieve such goals, established myself as a person, as well as realized the friendships I have made through my martial arts family."




- Lianne Russo, Arizona State University student

"I just finished reading the book Living the Martial Way. After reading the chapter on the Ideal Master, I realized that is exactly what we found in Sabumnim (Master Nottingham) and the wonderful instructors at USA Martial Arts. Chance couldn't have brought us to a better school."  



- Mrs. Dawn Martin (The entire Martin family are members of the Leadership Program)

Our program can and WILL help your child increase their confidence, self- esteem and discipline, while teaching them life skills that will last them a lifetime and much more. (Let me explain why you MUST come see our program for yourself, it will be the best thing that you'll ever do for your child.)
Imagine how you'll feel when your child becomes unstoppable at achieving all of the positive things life has to offer and unstoppable at avoiding all of the negative things life has to throw our way.
In our martial arts program, your child will improve their confidence, increase their focus, and develop more self-control. We can say this with confidence because we have personally witnessed the positive effects our programs have provided for children just like your own.
Here a short explanation of how our programs teach these valuable life skills:



  • Confidence - By learning how to protect themselves, your children will develop confidence in their ability to handle life's challenges. In turn, their improved confidence will give them the courage to say "no" to negative influences.



  • Focus – We will help your child increase their focus by giving them clear goals and showing them how to reach those goals through hard work and being consistent. (Of course, they won't realize they're learning focus because our classes are so much fun! But keep that to yourself – it'll be our little secret…)



  • Self-control – Kids learn self-control in the martial arts by learning how important it is to have respect, both for themselves and for others. Martial arts training teaches that in order to get respect, you first have to give it. Once your child learns this important lesson, their self-control will naturally increase.
As you can see, our martial arts programs teach so much more than "just kicks and punches." We help children develop life-skills that will take them far beyond the four walls of our martial art school – benefits that will last them a lifetime.

Positive Role Models Who Will Encourage Your Child to SucceedText Box:
Kids need strong role models who set a positive example for them to follow. Yet, everyone knows that kids can't look up to professional athletes anymore – so where can they turn for positive examples to follow?
Our answer to this question is our professional staff of caring instructors. We honestly believe our martial art instructors are some of the best role models your child could have.

Experience has shown us that kids respond to our martial art teachers in way that no other coach or instructor can match. Because we realize how much our students look up to us, we work hard to set a positive example for them by living the martial arts principles of honesty, integrity, courage, kindness, and self-control.

As you know, children are hard-wired to seek attention and approval. So, when kids see positive behaviors demonstrated by our instructors, they are strongly driven to display those same behaviors in their own actions.

Karate is the Best Thing You Can Do For Your Child, Guaranteed!
To repeat, Martial Arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting themselves. Their innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within himself a powerful, unstoppable force.
A force that gives him the strength to kick down the doors of their own self doubts, A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values.

In other words, when your child uses the discipline of martial arts to conquer their fears, they have the power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know of no other sport that does this better than karate. (I should know. Remember, I've been teaching it for 26 years.)

As you can see there are many great reasons to get involved in our program but the many benefits your child will develop, don't start happening until you ACT!

Since many parents are not familiar with the benefits that USA Martial Arts PV provides, we would like to make a very special offer:

I'm going to allow you to check out USA Martial Arts Phoenix totally at NO Risk to you and at 100% my expense…
"Martial Arts has become a way of life now for Harrison as he has been a student for 2-1/2 years. He exudes confidence and has a tremendous willingness to learn. He was not athletic when he began, but has definitely built up both strength and coordination. I believe strongly that it is from training. The tenets of Taekwondo keep him on track."

What Are The Benefits of USA Martial Arts Paradise Valley?


Benefits From Our Programs

If you’re a parent considering what activity might be best for your child, please take a few minutes to read about the benefits your child will receive by enrolling in our Academy. This will give you a very good sense of what our students experience and what their parents see along the way.                                

Courage

Our students discover that they’re capable of much more than they thought possible. They develop the courage to take on challenges that might have intimated them before. They learn this in their martial arts training, and they apply it at school and at home. As they proceed through our program, they learn to face their fears and go forward in spite of them.

Perseverance

Students learn not to give up, even when the going gets tough. Even if at first they fail, they learn to persevere. Through regular conditioning, students also increase their physical stamina. They come to realize that physical stamina and mental perseverance go hand in hand. They learn not to let self-doubts get in their way and they strive harder and longer to reach their goals.

Improved Focus

Most children are easily distracted and have relatively short attention spans. Our students learn to “zero in” on critical tasks at hand and develop the ability to stay on task. Normal childhood distractions don’t get in their way. They learn to make eye contact with classroom teachers and pay full attention to what their teacher says.

Power Through Self-Control and Self-Discipline

As they develop the ability to maintain focus, our students learn to develop self-control. In learning the precision of our physical skills, children develop a high level of self discipline. These attributes combine to produce very high levels of competence. Students demonstrate high levels of effectiveness on the mat, and in school.

Respect

From the moment you walk into our school, you and your children will be treated with respect. Children quickly learn that for one to get respect, one must first give respect. As our instructors model respect, children quickly learn to emulate this. It soon becomes a habit and respect becomes automatic.

Goal Setting

Learning how to set and achieve goals is one of the keys to success in life. Through the belt system, our students learn how to set appropriate goals and how to stay focused to achieve their goals. As students earn progressively higher belt ranks, these lessons are reinforced. When they ultimately earn their Black Belt, the lesson of setting and achieving goals is ingrained for life.

Self-Defense

Let there be no doubt – Children in our Karate for Kids program learn practical and powerful martial arts skills. In every class at every level children learn, practice and refine highly effective self defense techniques.                                              


Personal Development 
In most sports, you learn life lessons such as “teamwork” and “being a good sport” on the field. But those life lessons are secondary to the sport itself. The goal in those sports is to win games. Not in Martial Arts. This is one big area that martial arts differs from other sports. The life-skills children learn in martial arts are not by-products of the training, they are the curriculum! Personal development forms the core of martial arts. Martial arts teaches courtesy, humility, integrity, self-control, discipline, confidence and leadership along with many other values as its foundation. Martial arts can become a very personal journey of self-discovery. Not all kids are going to get that from football, baseball, soccer, or any other sport. But in martial arts, they do.


Black Belt Excellence
Our goal is to help every student earn their Black Belt not only in martial arts, but in life. As students advance in our program, we continually emphasize the qualities of Black Belt excellence: respect, courage, self control, self discipline and commitment. Children that develop these skills today become the leaders of tomorrow.
If you are looking for an ever evolving activity. Based on good moral values and physical fitness. Dedicated to personal growth; rooted in the principles of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and courage. Something that will give your child confidence and build their self-esteem . . . then Paradise Valley USA Martial Arts is for you and your family!


Let us set you up for success!
