March Life Skill: Determination

March Life Skill:

Determination

"Determination is doing the right thing and never giving up!"


At Peak Performance we build our kids up to be champions in life! One of the ways we do this, is through our life skills program. Each month we go over the Life Skill: defining the skill, giving them examples, asking them to give their coaches examples, working on each Life Skill at home and school, and we also incorporate the Life Skill into our classes.

This months Life Skill is Determination: Doing the right thing and never giving up.

Determination is one the greatest assets we can possess.  Determination can bring out the best in us.  Determination is the tool we use to defeat discouragement.  Determination is the tool we use to overcome temporary failure to prevent failure from becoming permanent.  Determination is the tool we use to produce patience.

Determination builds character.   It helps us become a more reliable person.   It helps us meet our commitments.    It helps us prioritize and manage our time to maximize positive results. 
Determination is the tool we use to give us the will to win. Determination is the tool we use to help us win in spite of our limitations.  Determination is the tool we use to dig ourselves out of a hole.  Determination is the tool we use to improve our relationships.   Determination is the tool we use to reach our goals.  Determination is the tool we use to succeed.  

At Peak Performance we use all of these examples when instilling Determination. Example: When your child is training and finds them-self in a situation that they might want to quit or give up, we coach and encourage them to find a solution or an escape from a bad position. At the end of class, we go over some bad situations and ask them how they overcame it. This encourages them to see the success in being determined!

What benefits do martial arts offer that teams sports don't?


Self Defense
      By teaching your child how to defend themselves, ether standing up and/or on the ground, we are teaching them the best forms of self defense. Without a doubt Muay Thai Kickboxing is the best form of stand up martial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best form of ground martial arts.

Most martial arts schools only focus on the stand up self defense or the ground self defense. At Peak Performance MMA we specialize in both! We have the highest ranked BJJ AND Muay Thai Coach in the area. We are always working to improve our curriculum to make sure your child is learning the best skills.

Self Confidence
     At Peak Performance MMA we believe in not only making champions in martial arts, we believe in making champions in life! Our programs are designed to increase your child's confidence, self esteem, and help to make them a better person!

Discipline
     Having your child involved in mixed martial arts will teach them discipline, respect, and self control. These necessary tools will help them throughout life, as well as avoid fights, and defend themselves when conflict in unavoidable.

Individual Achievement 
     Instead of trying to "make the team" or sitting on the bench, everyone is able to participate. They are able to rank up (belt/strips), compete, and progress as an individual.

Gender Equality
     Martial Arts is one of the few sports where boys and girls can play/train together.

Weight Control
     Martial Arts classes are one of the best ways for your child to get in shape and lead a healthy life. Unlike team sports, where a lot of kids sit on the bench, in martial arts training every child is pushed to make themselves better. This is very important in this day and age where kids just want to play video games. The workouts are fun and a lot of the time the kids don't even realize they are exercising while they are learning self defense.

Never Ending Season
    Unlike team sports, which have seasons, they are able to train all year round!


If you're like the many parents whose kids take our martial arts classes... you don't just want your child to learn self-defense. You want them to also learn respect, focus and discipline for a successful future. And you want them to get great exercise for health and wellness.
