January Kickin’ Newsletter – 2024
New Year, Fresh Goals!
Enrolling your child in karate classes is a fantastic way to expand your child’s capabilities, interests, character skills, and positive outlook. Karate isn’t just a proven way to learn self-defense skills… Karate works on the principles of self-discipline, focus, patience, and achieving goals. The focus here is not for your child to master the art of karate, but to probe his or her true potential and gain new self-confidence and respect through perseverance and good attitude. Training year-round in a martial art is shown to improve their performance in other sports and academics as well!
As we jump into the new year, we and our students work to apply martial arts lessons to every facet of our lives. The greater control of our bodies and minds that we develop, the closer we come to reaching impressive goals. It is only when we try our best that we come to know our limits – and set new ones!
