 Who Else Wants Their Children To Benefit Greatly From
Effective Martial Arts Training and Become Champions in Life? Martial Arts is unique in athletics, not just in being a "self defense" form, but because it is a Total Learning Experience. To get a better idea of what we mean by Total Learning activity, let's compare baseball for children and Martial Arts. While baseball is known for developing competitiveness, most beginning programs must by necessity assume the new players already possess the basic physical skills for the game. The ability to run, throw a ball, and other simple, hand-eye coordination skills are taken for granted. Many children, however, are underdeveloped in these skills, which prevents them from really taking part in the game and they end up as "bench warmers." Only the "naturals" end up receiving a full enjoyment of the sport. Children learning Martial Arts begin by practicing the basic skills that are the foundation of the sport. These skills, which help build their coordination and balance, let the children become active in their sport as they progress, instead of just sitting on the bench. These fundamentals are the building blocks of all athletic skills and allow every child to progress -- no matter what abilities they first bring to class. Put in box: "My martial arts training have helped me excel athletically and academically. Thanks to Chirico's School of Karate, I have excelled not only in karate, but also in football and basketball.

He taught me the steps that helped me go FROM NOTHING to: A SELF-ASSURED 4th DEGREE BLACK BELT, who now helps children of all ages develop the STRENGTH, COURAGE, and DIRECTION they need for SOCIAL SUCCESS." - Eric Gruber, 4th Degree Black Belt, Rutgers Grad, and Business Owner In Box: "When I first started my martial arts training at the age of 4, I was afraid to talk and express my feelings, emotions, thoughts and ideas, as I knew I was not able to communicate as well as others. I was lacking the confidence and self-respect. I truly thought I was dumb. Boy, was I wrong! Thank you for opening my eyes, and encouraging me to aim for my fullest potential. Now, I'm a confident 4th degree black belt, and outstanding student at Fairleigh Dickinson University majoring in restaurant management." - Carl Gruber, 4th degree black belt Benefits for your child that will last a lifetime There are only a few programs available that will offer your child so many benefits that will help them develop physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
