We took children's martial arts to the next level! We run a successful program with proven records where children will improve, focus, discipline, self-confidence, self esteem and fitness. Stop by to observe a class or let you child take the two free tryouts and see for your self! You have nothing to lose, your child has everything to gain.
Weight Loss
Child obesity is one of the major problems with children in America. Children must have a physical activity where they move their bodies and break a sweat!
Strength and Conditioning
During our warm up, kids work out! We do age appropriate forms of exercises and stretching. Such as jogging, push-ups and sit-ups, abdominal crunches, cart wheels, wheel barrel and leap frog to name a few. These exercises will improve children’s endurance, stamina, cardio, flexibility, strength and overall fitness.
Self-Defense
Our Judo/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is an excellent style that teach self-defense, awareness and how to use common sense to indentify dangerous situations and stay out of trouble. They are taught to use their skills when absolutely necessary.
Discipline and respect
In our programs we emphasize the importance of discipline and respect for others and themselves! We preach that it takes hard work and time to achieve goals in life and the importance of self-control. We guide them on how to concentrate, breathe and meditate.
Self-Confidence and Self Esteem
Martial arts is proven to boost children's self-confidence; with only a few classes children will show improvement on how they conduct themselves. Their confidence will show by the way they walk and interact with people. By building their self-esteem, it will automatically influence the way they view themselves. We propel children with positive reinforcement and positive attitude.
Academic Grades
We emphasize the importance of maintaining an average of “A s" or “B s" grades. Most children enrolled in our programs are good students or become good students due to the fact that it boosts their self-confidence and self-esteem. It is only natural for them to develop a sense of wanting to be the best that they can be. In time, they develop the determination to achieve their goals by acquiring the sense of responsibility with their homework and studies.
As parents we all know that children must to understand that everything that worth something in life requires time, hard work, dedication, determination, honesty and that is characterized as discipline of the mind and body. Everything else will follow into place once the child understands this concept. I am pleased to hear from parents how our program has effected positively their children's life.
In our children's program we created an exclusive system to improve the children's perception of life's rewards and consequences. This system is directly related to how each child behaves in class and outside of Powersource.
We pay close attention on each individual and praise the importance of been good listeners, follow directions, effort, show good sportsmanship.
Their behavior will determined if they deserve to be rewarded or penalized.
The reason behind this is for the child to understand that hard work pays off and there are consequences for miss behaving in class, home, school.
We also use a parent stripe on their belts. If a parent takes the parent stripe off the child's belt, that child will not receive a reward at the end of each class.
At the beginning of the class, I emphasize the importance of being good listeners at home and school, do their homework and chores, do the things they are told to do at the first time they are told, be ready for school on time in the morning, have good grades, take care of their personal hygiene and have a good attitude. We also talk about different themes such as having self control etc.
The point is; the parent can always remind their children about our conversations during class and the consequences of not been cooperative in home or school or any other place. So parents have the power of take the parent stripe off as they see fit.
We run a successful program where we focus in the behavioral aspect, physical education aspect and martial arts aspect. We set the bar high and students are expected to strive. We will help your child excel in these areas.
