April Life Skill: Courage

April Life Skill:

Courage

"Courage is the ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous."

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 Courage: The ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous.

COURAGE is one of those magical qualities possessed by few, but found in all great individuals both in and outside of sports. Whether it’s standing up for what you believe in despite it’s unpopularity, remaining calm and composed under the heat of intense competitive pressure, consistently moving towards your fears and insecurities or maintaining a grace and dignity when you fail miserably, courage wears a number of different clothes. You don’t have to be a mature adult to be courageous. Children sometimes demonstrate far more courageous behavior than adults. You don’t have to be a world-class athlete to be courageous. As a matter of fact, you don’t even have to be that athletically inclined to develop and fine-tune this quality, which is one of the cornerstones of mental toughness.

At Peak Performance we use all of these examples when instilling Courage . Example: When your child has stepped onto the mat, maybe for the first time, maybe it is against a larger opponent, or maybe it's to face a student that has been training far longer, finding the courage within themselves to remain calm and composed under the heat of intense competitive pressure. 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 courageous!

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.
