“Help Your Child Succeed”
Once the pop singer Madonna was asked what she would teach her girl child about boys and Madonna’s reply was “I’ll teach her how to respect herself.

It has often been said that Martial Arts Tournaments Are not Martial Arts, however nothing could be further from the truth. Those who say Martial Arts tournaments are not Martial Arts do not understand the origin of the Martial Arts, or the many purposes that Martial Arts have in the development of the “total” person.
There are many aspects to the development of a Martial Arts person, as is the case in a person’s development in any of life’s pursuits. As with a child’s schooling, for example, it would not be complete to simply study English and Science without the study of Arithmetic. A well rounded academic program has many facets, as is the case with a well rounded Martial Arts program. Continue reading →
