Using Martial Arts To Develop Character Is Not A Unique Idea

Martial Arts has been used to teach character development for thousands of years. Most of us have childhood memories of seeing TV Karate Masters teaching life lesson to their young pupils. The difference today is how these lessons are taught. Children today want to have fun while learning.

America’s Best Defense has spent the past 20+ years perfecting our teaching methods and curriculum in order to make learning that’s not only fun, but relevant and exciting for our students. Our motivating instructors not only challenge and encourage our students to advance their skills in the practice of Martial Arts, but also to apply the character development lessons in every area of their life.

Our life skill lessons are easy to learn, practical to apply and very relevant to the challenges faced by our youth. Because most of our instructors are parents themselves, we know first hand the challenges that our youth face on a daily basis. From bullying to striving for better grades, America’s Best Defense is dedicated towards teaching lessons within our classes that equips our students to handle life’s daily challenges and give them the best advantage possible.

What Will Your Son Or Daughter Learn?

In every class students are challenged to improve their Martial Arts skills by learning different curriculum that increases in intensity as they grow their skills. What’s more, in every class students will learn a different lesson about what it means to be a Martial Artist, and how to apply these lessons to every part of their life. Students learn: How to Develop a Positive Attitude, Self-Discipline, Respect, Modesty, Courtesy, Integrity, Self-Control, and Perseverance. We teach these lessons through inspiring stories and candid discussions. But it’s more than just talking. Through out the class students are challenged to apply the messages to their own training which helps them develop winning habits. Our students are encouraged to carry the messages with them as they leave the school – applying it to every area of their life. As a result, our students become leaders within their peer groups, academic achievers at school, and role models for the community.

Every Child Needs Unshakable Confidence

Our children need confidence. Without confidence they won’t stand up against negative peer pressure or bullying, nor will they develop and use their unique talents and skills. Without confidence a person will never realize their true potential. How do we develop this confidence?

America’s Best Defense uses a positive reward system that encourages children to be and give their best. Through the motivation our instructors provide, we teach children to develop their own personal potential by looking for the good within themselves and believing in their own individuality. Our reward system of belt achievement teaches students how to set and attain goals. Through this belt achievement system they also learn the value of working for things and the confidence that comes when you achieve your goals.

The Essence Of Martial Arts Has Always Been Respect

From its early stages Martial Arts has always taught the importance of respect for self, others and authority. Students are first taught respect through the protocol and the culture of our schools. Through this protocol, students learn how to respect authority, themselves and their peers. Students learn how to be more accepting of others and how to treat everyone as if they are important. Finally, students are encouraged to walk in integrity by practicing these lessons outside of the Karate School. As a result, our students become more respectful at home with their parents and siblings and at school with their teachers.

Self-Discipline Is Doing Things Without Anyone Making You

Martial Arts has always been known for developing self-discipline. When most people think of martial arts, they immediately think of self-discipline. The more a student learns how to use their discipline to do the things they need to do without anyone making them, the more control they will have over their own life. At America’s Best Defense we teach and challenge our students to develop their Self-Discipline through a variety of ways. First, students learn to develop self-discipline through their training, however, it doesn’t stop there. Students are then encouraged and rewarded for using their discipline at home by doing things without being told. Doing homework and chores are great examples of how we encourage our students to practice and develop their discipline. Focusing their mind and body at school, turning in work on time, giving your best effort and following directions are all ways we help our students develop their discipline.

The Best Defense is Self-Defense

Self-Defense is one gift you can give a child that will help them for the rest of their lives. As parents, we naturally want to protect our children; unfortunately, we can’t always be there for them. The goal of our self defense program is to teach our students how to protect themselves. Children are taught effective ways for defusing bullying, stranger awareness and tactics for avoiding confrontational situations. The are also taught hand to hand defenses. The children’s self-defense taught at America’s Best Defense is known as Kenpo Karate. Because we teach our students to be responsible and to temper their self-defense training with the philosophy of Martial Arts, children learn effective techniques for self protection without learning how to be abusive themselves.

Finally, America’s Best Defense Is Good, Clean, Fun For Kids

We are very careful to mix the education of Martial Arts with the latest teaching methods for retaining our student’s interest. From our high energy classes to the latest curriculum that kids love to learn – America’s Best Defense offers classes that make learning fun.

Not to mention the hundreds of students that have made America’s Best Defense their place for self-defense and personal development.

Muay Thai is a form of hard martial art practiced in large parts of the world, including Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries.
Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of Eight Limbs", as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.

This is NOT one of those watered down cardio kickboxing class.
