A perfect family activity

Most people think of the martial arts as an individual pursuit.  But the truth is, martial arts training is the perfect family activity.  Unlike football, basketball, soccer, or other team sports, mom and dad can't get out on the field and play with their children.  Sure, you may practice with them at home or the park, but you can't get on the actual field or court when their team competes.

However, the martial arts allows families to learn together, compete together, and grow together.  The ability of parents to "get in the game" makes it even more fun for the kids.  And just like their performance at school, the more involved a parent is in their child's training, the better the child will do.

If you're looking for an activity that's fun, will improve your family's physical and mental health, and reinforce those life skills that are important at home, at school, and at work, then try out a martial arts program.  You'll find out why we say, "The family that kicks together, sticks together!"

Time to Start Thinking "Back-to-School"

Yes, we just celebrated Independence Day, and it's the early part of July, but it's already time to start planning for your child's return to school.  Our favorite question to ask at this time is, "What will your child be doing after school?"

There are no shortage of options for you to choose from, when considering after school activities for your children.  But we believe the best after school programs will include these important elements:

Physical Fitness - Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions in our country and our state.  Children need to develop a lifestyle that includes fitness.  Obesity places young people at risk for diabetes, heart disease, and other diseases.  Unfortunately, many schools have eliminated physical fitness as part of their programs.  Giving your child the opportunity learn the benefits of physical fitness at an early age will benefit them throughout his or her entire life.

Mental Dexterity - Just because the school day ends doesn't mean your child's mind should not be active or that learning should stop.  Your child's after-school activity should continue to stimulate their thinking, and help them stretch their mental capabilities.  Such a program will actually help improve their performance in school.

Self-Defense/Anti-Bullying Education - Bullying continues to be an issue facing our schools.  We've posted a variety of information about that topic on this blog.  Any after school activity your child is in should give them the skills to both recognize and overcome bullying behavior (both in others and themselves).

Life-Skills Development - The best after school programs will help develop the skills necessary for your child to succeed in life.  They will include important character qualities like courtesy, integrity, perseverance, and self-control.  In addition, they will help your child learn how to set and achieve goals.  They will also help your child develop problem-solving skills.  These life-skills will benefit your child at school, at home, and in any other activity they participate in.

Long-term Perspective - A quality after school program will understand it is helping prepare your child for life.  Its staff won't just be focused on short-term benefits or performance.  Instead they will ensure that a strong foundation is laid for their future success.

Finding a program that can meet all of these criteria can be challenging.  However, All American Martial Arts has created a Taekwondo After-school Pick-up Program (T.A.P.P.) that meets each of these requirements.

The Martial Arts is a great way to help your child develop a healthy lifestyle.  Our T.A.P.P. program develops coordination, balance, flexibility, and strength.  In addition, our programs will also challenge your child mentally.  Your daughter or son will consistently be challenged to stretch their thinking and improve their problem-solving skills.  The Martial Arts are known for self-defense instruction. 

Our T.A.P.P. will give your child not only the physical skills to defend themselves, but the skills to end conflicts before they become physical.  Through our T.A.P.P., your child will also develop the life-skills to be successful in every area of life.  And we know that what's really important is that your child has a solid foundation for their future growth and success.

If T.A.P.P. sounds like a program you would like your son or daughter to participate in, then we would like to visit with you.  Click on this link to find out more about the program and for the most convenient way to contact us.
