Kids Programs

Many experts recommend martial arts for children because a good program will teach both physical and mental skills.

Our goal at Busby's Family Karate is to teach your child how to appropriately defend themselves, get them into great physical shape, and teach them special life lessons. In addition to the physical kicking and punching skills required to learn self-defense, your child will learn how to use discipline, respect, self-control, teamwork, and more to excel in academic school as well as at home with you. They can take these lessons with them and use them for a lifetime!

Our Children's Martial Arts Program:

  • Will get your child in great shape and improve his/her coordination

  • Teaches how to resolve conflict peacefully
  • Provides an outlet for extra energy
  • Reinforces ideals of courtesy and respect
  • Teaches a "yes I can" attitude
  • Uses positive reinforcement to make classes fun!

PARENTS PERCH JANUARY 2012　
 

 

  

 

For the Month of JANUARY 2012 we will focus on the powerful word; "health."

Being healthy is more than just feeling good. It’s total wellbeing and freedom from disease. As it’s the start of 2012, it’s only natural for us to take inventory of our health and the health of our family. But just as important, we need to help our children to understand and take responsibility of their own health as well.

Week 1     Health defined: Nutrition, Physical Activity, Good Hygiene, Sleep, and Stress

Week 2     Nurtitious Eating: Nutrition; the food groups and good hydration 

Week 3     Physical Activity: Exercise, Fitness, Endurance, Strength and Flexibility

                    Week 4     Unhealthy Choices: Things to Avoid and Healthy Goal-Setting for 2012

When children are young, parents choose what their children are going to do and eat. As children get older, the responsibility of the physical and nutritional choices shifts to them. Of course, we can still buy nutritious groceries for our homes and encourage the best physical activity here in class, but children aren’t always under the watchful eye of a parent, teacher, or coach! We must encourage them to make positive choices.

Interestingly, in a study published last month in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Dec 2011), researchers showed that when parents used stickers to reward their children each time they sampled a disliked vegetable for 12 days, children gave higher ratings to the vegetables-- and were willing to eat more of them. Previous studies (July 2011) also showed that children rated meals unknowingly fortified with pureed vegetables as either OK or yummy.

Children can improve or maintain good health through balanced nutrition, daily physical exercise, a good night’s sleep, good hygiene, and steering clear of drugs and smoking. Having powerful character may also contribute to wellness since a clear conscience and a giving spirit always makes us feel good!

We hope that 2012 is a wonderful, healthy year for all of you. Perhaps you can encourage your children to set some "healthy" goals for eating nutritious foods, physical activity, sleep, and healthy stress relievers for this year. This is the perfect time to make important enhancements that can positively influence the health of your family.

Thank you for your support. You are pivotal in helping to make our school one of the best personal development centers in the world.

Best Regards,

Master Stacy Busby SSBN
