How are your children spending their time after school?
The 3-4 hours that kids spend after school before their parents get home are
some of the most important hours in their lives. The average child of working
parents has 3-4 hours of time between the end of school and when their parents
get home from work. A child spends about 200 days in school out of the
year - and this doesn't even include the 8 hours a day for 2-3 months during
the summer.
200 days times 3 hours is 600 hours a year - that 4200 hours over the course
of first-seventh grades! What are kids doing with all this time?
Some go to baby sitters. Some go home and play with their friends.
Others get into serious trouble.
Not our students.
When our students get out of school, their parents know that their children our
being trained in real life skills. Students who attend Steve Odom's Martial Arts Academy
learn discipline, perseverance, and respect for themselves and others. We teach
them about these important life skills and how to develop them to their fullest!
Girls need martial arts training just as much as boys!
Our children's classes are full of bright and powerful girls who are not only
getting their exercise, but they are also learning how to defend themselves.
Best of all, the martial arts do not focus on body type and weight the way many
other sports do for impressionable young women. The emphasis is on developing
strength, speed, and focus - not losing weight or being skinny.
Our Program Can Change Your Child's Life!
How could one activity have such an impact on my child?
Our Kids' Jitsu and Extreme Karate Programs will arm your children with a host of positive
mental and physical skills that will help them in school, at home and in life.
Recent studies show that programs like ours that focus on personal achievement
are vastly more effective than team sports! The martial arts combine the best
of both worlds: students can judge their own specific progress and be proud of
their individual accomplishments, like solo sports; but they also work in pairs
and groups, which encourages team spirit, patience, and camaraderie.
In our program, we don't believe in just teaching children to punch and kick.
We work to help build your child's character. During classes, you'll see your
child's energy, confidence, and spirit rise while he or she becomes strong and
confident. We're not just talking about physical strength - but the kind of
strength it takes to resist peer pressure and other negative aspects of life.
You'll see a new kind of discipline emerging - the kind that will positively
affect all areas of your children's lives. You'll notice an increased respect
for others, and most importantly, for themselves. The result? A powerful mind/body
connection that makes them unstoppable in life!
In Our Program Your Child Will Experience...
•Grade Improvement: The grades go up and stay up! Our program helps
with a lot more than just self-defense and physical agility. It is an educational
program that will give your child the discipline needed to study, complete homework
and organize their time wisely. Ultimately, this leads to better concentration at
school and better grades. We make success a habit, not a chore!
•Leadership Skills: To help them succeed in life! martial arts will
teach your child how to set goals and take responsibility for their own
actions. These qualities, more than any others, will help your child develop
as a leader and not as a follower. This, in turn, will ensure their success
in school, college and life!
•Increased Physical Aptitude and Fitness: To help your child develop
physically! Our programs increase speed, stamina and agility in children.
They also help develop balance, coordination and timing, all of which help
your child in sports and other activities.
•Mental Development: To give your child the courage to say NO in the
face of peer pressure! One of the scariest problems facing many parents today
is the possibility that their child may become involved with drugs. The number
of children taking drugs at a younger age is staggering. But at Steve Odom's Martial
Arts Academy, we help promote anti-drug programs that are designed to promote
self-confidence and self-esteem--giving your child the strength to resist
peer pressure.
•High Energy Classes: Fun-filled classes your child will truly enjoy!
From the children's point of view, the best part about our program is how much
fun the classes really are. We focus your child's energy in a positive and
productive manner.
•Realistic Self-Defense Skills: That could save your child's life! While
we wish it didn't have to be a factor in our program, we nevertheless live in a
world full of potentially dangerous people. We don't give children a false sense
of reality by teaching them how to be victorious only in competition. Our program
teaches your children how to protect themselves in real-life threatening situations.
This invaluable skill could be the difference between life and death!
•Personalized Attention: To ensure rapid progress! We focus on quality
instruction and personal attention. Our students are treated as individuals.
All of our classes are taught by highly trained instructors committed to
excellence and continued learning. You'll feel safe knowing your child is
receiving the finest instruction possible!
