DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

Years ago, when my child first developed an interest in martial arts, this was all that was on the television. Big guys throwing punches and coming away unscathed. My child was determined to be like the people on television and in the movies – whether they were big named movie stars or one of the Ninja Turtles. We were recommended to a studio and this is where I got my first lesson in martial arts. I had no idea that my child would develop a deep sense of respect, an eye for detail, keen hearing and a fine-tuned memory. I would listen as the instructor would call out a combination of moves and then watch my child do every move with perfection – not once asking for the instructions to be repeated, but absorbing mentally each move as it was being recited. I wasn't watching my child learn how to "beat-up the mean people", but instead I was watching my child respect and appreciate the things he could teach his body to respond to. The first time he broke though a board or won a sparing match was worth every lesson. From a school standpoint, I have watched my child take a really difficult assignment and break it down as he would a complex move – figuring out each little piece until the whole assignment was complete. Very much like a difficult move – all little moves making a very powerful combination of moves. Of course, as with other sport or extra activity, he was a keen learner in finding ways not to attend classes – whether it be he was too tired or had too much homework. However, we stuck with it and he achieved his first degree black belt. There is no way to explain the smile that literally stretched across his face the day his instructor placed his black belt around his waist. For any parent thinking whether this is a good sport, think no more. This is more than a sport. This is more than learning how to hit a ball or make a basket. The martial arts training my child received at Karate Atlanta was better than anything I could have dreamed of. The self respect, the dedication to the sport and the idea of going for the "black belt and beyond" cannot be measured in dollars. Vickie
