Karate helps motivate kids!

4/19/2018

 
Does your child lack ambition?

Is it hard to get him or her motivated for school, homework, or anything important in life?

Picture
Well, you're certainly not alone.

There are so many distractions in a kid's life that it's no wonder they lose their focus, concentration and determination.


It's all about instant gratification and immediate stimulus.

That's why Kids Martial Arts (Karate, Tae Kwon Do, etc.) is more important than ever today.

Why? It's one of the only hobbies that is built around setting and achieving ever-more-difficult goals.

Parents, you would be surprised at how well kids respond to positive discipline, goal-setting, achievement, and reward from wholesome role-models.

Kids (people in general) are hard-wired to strive and be successful. It just has to be the right atmosphere and the right system - especially to counteract all the negativity in today's world.

That's why I wrote my book, "How to Build a Super Kid."

It's also why I give new parents (like you) a FREE copy when you enroll your child in our youth martial arts program.

Self-Defense is so important these days!  But it's useless to take a class if you don't like it and you won't go. 

That's why it's equally important to find the right class - one that is a good fit for your needs and your personality. 

Look for something that offers variety, excitement, a great workout, and quality instruction. 

Make sure that there are like-minded and FUN people in class -- so you look forward to attending. 

I believe that if you check out our Adult Martial Arts Program, you'll be pleasantly surprised :)

No Child should have to endure Bullying

9/22/2017

 
Picture
Bullying is unacceptable! 

Your child (or any other child for that matter) should not have to endure continued bullying at school, or anywhere else.  Bullying has gotten out of control -- and very dangerous!  It's not just "picking on kids" during recess either. 

Bullying includes cyber-bullies - ruining lives on social media and recording fights for entertainment.

The good news is that we are here to listen -- and to help. 

Allen Park Martial Arts Center has been in the business of teaching kids to be confident and strong (and the physical skills of self-defense) for over 20 years running.

Does Martial Arts Training help adults perform better in business & careers?

4/28/2017

 
Picture

Local Adult Members from Allen Park and the local Detroit Metro Area have been telling us for years that their martial arts training (karate, tae kwon do, kickboxing) gives them an advantage in business!

We have lots of success stories from around the state of Michigan where our members have leveraged the goal-setting, discipline, focus, and (most of all) CONFIDENCE to help them get ahead in business, their jobs, and their lives!

Of course, adults are attracted to our classes because of fitness, self-defense, an interest in the martial arts, and to have fun. But, the benefits don't end there...

Let us know if we can ever answer any questions. Just call us at:

(313) 928-5288.

Until next time,

Can martial arts help with school grades?

4/26/2017

 
Picture
Local Allen Park and other Downriver - Detroit Area Parents have been telling us for decades that our classes help their kids get better grades in school!

We're not surprised by this. If you think about it, advancing in karate, tae kwon do, and other martial arts takes discipline, focus, determination, and long-term perseverance. That's exactly what we teach and reinforce!

So why wouldn't children in our classes see improvements in their Academic Performance?

We even award a Merit Patch for "Academic Excellence!" That's because we VALUE strong academic achievement and other life skills.

Just like you do.

Until next time...

Is martial arts good for exercise?

Allen Park Martial Arts Center Adult Class (Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Krav Maga, Kickboxing)


We know that there are a lot of reasons that adult members seek out martial arts classes.

Some look for personal safety training - primarily to learn self-defense, so that they can be prepared for physical confrontation.

Others look at martial arts as a way to develop personal discipline and focus, so that they can learn to achieve important goals and commitments in other areas of their life.

Of course, many adults are looking for something fun to do! They've seen years worth of martial arts movies and T.V. shows and would love to learn some cool moves... and maybe meet some new people.

These are all excellent reasons to try an introductory program at Allen Park Martial Arts Center.

But, some of the most popular reasons ADULT MEMBERS SEEK OUT OUR MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES is to increase their HEALTH/WELLNESS and FITNESS levels, as well as, help to reduce their WEIGHT and STRESS levels!

Regular exercise (increased movement, cardiovascular exercise, body-weight exercises) can help to improve overall fitness and wellness - while at the same time contribute to reducing weight and stress levels.

But these things are only effective if you do them! And, you'll only do them if they're fun - and you enjoy it!

Our classes work because they are FUN! Plus, you're not really focused on the exercise - you're focused on the LEARNING!

The exercise is a by-product (so you don't even realize you're doing it!).

That's the true magic.

Give it a try!  We have a 6-Week Introductory Package for New Adult Members (so that you can see for yourself).

Call us: (313) 928-5288

What's keeping you from trying martial arts? Limiting beliefs?

4/11/2017

We all hear them. Sometimes they're loud and clear, and sometimes they're soft and discreet - but they're always lurking in the backs of our minds!

What, you ask? Those pesky voices in our heads that tell us, "you can't do it." "You're too old." "You're too young." You're not "smart enough," "rich enough," "experienced enough," "GOOD ENOUGH!"

They're called LIMITING BELIEFS - and they live in our imaginations, always ready to undermine our best ideas. And, these creatures are good at what they do! They're professionals.

They can talk us out of ANYTHING!

Picture
"Master Kevin" is also a Certified Professional Coach (Life Coach and Health & Wellness Coach)
The first thing that you learn in Professional Coaching School is that LIMITING BELIEFS DON'T REALLY EXIST! That's right. They're like the "monsters" that used to live under your bed when you were a child.

They seemed real -  but they were just a figure of your childhood imagination.

Your parents knew that there were no monsters under your bed. If you were lucky, they turned on the light, looked to make sure - and then showed you - to prove it to you.

That's what your coach will do too -- expose that your limiting beliefs are just a FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION!

Pretty cool, huh?


Watch this amazing video of GrandMaster B.C. Yu at the age of 82, and see how he SMASHED the limiting beliefs of Master Kevin and so many others!

GrandMaster B.C. Yu (click), is considered by some to be the "Father of Tae Kwon Do in Michigan." He was the original instructor to so many of the current Masters and GrandMasters (or their teachers) in the state of Michigan and beyond. For 55 years, he has had a tremendous influence on the development of martial arts in the entire Metropolitan Detroit area - especially Wayne County, Downriver areas, such as Allen Park, Taylor, Dearborn, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte, Southgate, Riverview, Dearborn Heights, Huron Township, Garden City, and more! He still attends APMAC as a guest instructor to this day! It's another reason why we have one of the most famous and successful martial arts schools in the entire area - for over 20 years running!
