January Life Skill: Initiative

January Life Skill:

Initiative

Initiative is doing the right things without being told." ~ Elbert Hubbard


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 Initiative. We will learn that we are old enough to remember we should brush our teeth before going to bed and if we see that our room is messy, we should clean it up without being asked. We will the importance of practicing and doing our homework without being told by our parents.

Parent Tip of the Month: This month show your children you have initiative by choosing to eat healthy and ercise, instead of drive through dinner, make a healthy dinner at least three times a week for family time and get the kids involved.

Get the whole family involved in a weekly exercise that can also help them in their martial arts training like taking a walk, a run, or even working out on a bag at home. (It's a great stress reliever, and your kids will love the new quality time they have with you.)

Remember, you are your child's BIGGEST role model. They want to be just like YOU!

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

Weight Control
     Kids 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!
