Adventure Mixed Martial Arts

My son has been suspended on an average of about every 3 months from school. And because his bad behavior I was in teacher's meeting once to twice a week. At home he would throw a two to three hour fit just to get his room cleaned, kicking and screaming on the floor, toys everywhere he would through them out of the toy box and make a bigger mess than before. Now of course, the results after only being at Adventure Karate for only 2 1/2 months the teachers, his babysitters, the whole works, are just absolutely amazed. His grades have gone up. He actually scored in the top 10 percent in the nation on his CAT 9 test. His grades were on a C/D average, and now he gets straight A's. In the last two and a half months, I have never even seen the trash full. He gets up in the morning and it's taken out. I don't have to ask.

In previous years, my daughter was very shy. She didn't have a whole lot of friends. In fact, all of her birthday parties have been with family only. Now of course, her self confidence has risen to extremes. She has tons of friends. We just had our first slumber party for her birthday. We had tons of girls over. And for the first time she ran for Class President and only lost by one vote. That didn't make her quit, she volunteered to help the President out at any time that they may need some ideas or help running the show. Now, it used to take her about 3 to 3 1/2 hours to do her homework every night. She now knows how to remain focused and doing her homework now only takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Lastly she just put on weight over the last few years. And from going to Adventure Karate she is losing about a half a pound every week, and she has actually dropped a total of 7 pounds in the last 2 1/2 months.

Our kids are both students here. Actually, karate was way low on things we wanted to do with the kids. They play a lot of sports and are involved in a lot of activities. When we read about what this school does and what the focus is we and came in and spoke with you and then saw it, was when we changed our minds, and both kids had to come. It's not about fighting at all. That is amazing. It's really about what it does for them personally. Within the two and a half months they've been here, they're picking up the room on their own. They get their laundry put in a basket. They're far more helpful. They are far more self-disciplined, just in their mannerisms with one another. When I introduce them to adults, they greet them and look them in the eye, things that they wouldn't listen to when I was trying to get them to do it previously. It's more of The Karate Kid movie karate, without the fighting.

I have lost more than 12 pounds in kickboxing at Adventure and I'm starting to fit into the clothes I wore 3, 4 yrs ago. As long as my pants are still in style I will be happy. I have so much more energy and I see and feel more defined muscles in my whole body especially in my legs. At my age 53, this program gets my metabolism working as fast as possible. This is the best whole body workout I have ever had and I am extremely happy here at Adventure Karate.

When I thought of karate before, I thought oh great, Power Rangers. The kids are going to be kicking and hitting each other all day long at home. That's not it at all. It's the character issues like you said. It's the respect for adults. It's focusing. It's doing things without being told. It's having self-control, it's less chaotic at home.
