April Life Skill: Self Control

April Life Skill:

Self Control

“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found in not finishing the activity but in doing it” – Greg Anderson


At Peak Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness 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 Self Control. Through Harry's adventures this month, we are going to learn ways to control our temper, and ignore the people or person who is trying to get under our skin. We are also going to learn to control our appetite for junk food and learn to walk away from the temptation.

Parent tip of the month: This month show your child you have self control by setting goals to exercise and eat healthier.

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

Here is a link with Harry and his coach explaining Self Control.

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 Mixed Martial Arts we specialize in both! We are always working to improve our curriculum to make sure your child is learning the best skills.

Self Confidence
     At Peak Mixed Martial Arts 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!
