December Life Skill: Appreciation

December Life Skill:

Appreciation

“Appreciation can make a day - even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary." ~ Margaret Cousins

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 Appreciation. We will learn to be grateful for the gifts we receive during the holidays, and we will learn to appreciate our parents and teachers for the everyday things that they do for us. We'll also learn to appreciate our toys and take care of them.

Parent Tip of the Month: Show your children you appreciate them by simply hanging a picture that they drew for you on the refrigerator for everyone to see. Show your appreciation to your child's school teacher and instructors, and let them see you complementing them, so your child will feel proud of their teachers and themselves.

By demonstrating appreciation in your own life, your child will grow up understanding that family and friends is what really matters in life and the fun memories that they will take with them.

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 appreciation.

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!


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.

Your child will get all of these and more in every one of our Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Keller, Trophy Club, Roanoke kids martial arts classes. And our fun, expert instructors will be there to guide them every step of the way. Click here to learn more and enroll your child today.
