August Life Skill: Respect

August Life Skill:

Respect

“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.” – Albert Einstein

At Peak Performance Family Martial Arts 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 Respect. It's easy as a child to spend a lot of time thinking about your own needs. To teach respect, we have to drive home the realization that other people have needs and feelings just like them. Treating other people the way we want to be treated is a natural outgrowth of such a realization. Speaking respectfully helps us strengthen the relationships with everyone we interact with and for children this can really help us at school, at home, and in martial arts!

Parent Tip of the Month: This month show your children you have respect by addressing them respectfully, (Respect flows both ways!) Our example, is always the best teaching tool!

Positive reinforcement is the second best, so make sure you catch them being respectful and give them lots of praise.

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!
