Most parents do everything
they can to teach these things to their children. But many
parents need some help. After all, with our busy 21st Century
schedules, it's hard to find the time and resources to
really help them with these important life
skills.
You would think and
expect that they would learn about perseverance, positive
mental attitudes, self
discipline and goal setting in school,
but they really don't.
Students
who attend Mr. G's Ojai Valley Kenpo
Karate Studio are
a step up on others because we teach them about these important
life skills and how to develop them to their fullest! Success
traits that will pay off for the rest of their lives.

Dear Parent:
The
fact that you are reading this tells me you want the very best
for your child. So how do you go about preparing them for the
challenges of our fast paced 21st Century? How do you teach
them how to have a positive attitude, to be self motivated,
to set and attain goals and to learn how to concentrate and
focus? This is no easy task as this specialized type of education
is not taught in our schools. It is not taught on our football,
baseball or soccer fields either. Unfortunately it's not even
being taught in our community organizations or religious groups.
These life skills, if taught to children at a young age, can
have a tremendous impact on the outcome of their lives and how
successful they become.

Courtesy, Respect and Self Discipline
mean better grades in school.
|
|
During the many years that I have been training and teaching
martial arts I have seen countless numbers of young boys and
girls who were very shy and lacked anything that resembled self
confidence. Some of them could not focus or concentrate for
more than a few seconds at a time. Others were overweight or
were slower learners than their peers. Many of these children
were not doing very well in school or in social situations because
of their lack of self confidence.
I have a soft spot in my heart for these youngsters. I know
that with the right direction and training their lives can be
changed significantly for the better. I made it my goal many
years ago that we would teach much more than just kicking and
punching. That our organization would specialize in personal
development. In teaching life skills that would make a difference.
We
have focused our entire program around this premise. Yes, I
believe we teach the best in martial arts training, but that
is not enough. Our entire children's curriculum is centered
around what we call the Principles of the Black Belt.
Principles of the Black Belt
|
| |
Courtesy |
Honesty |
Integrity |
| |
Perseverance |
Self Control |
Indomitable Spirit |
| |
Humility |
Loyalty |
Sportsmanship |
| These
important qualities along with the understanding of goal setting,
self discipline, concentration and a positive mental attitude
are the cornerstone of our programs. |
|
Over the
years, I have seen hundreds of children
benefit from our unique approach to teaching martial arts.
- Overweight children who
lost a few pounds through self discipline and exercise gained
tremendous amounts of self esteem and self confidence.
- Smart children, who
were bored in school, learned to set goals and reach higher.
- Shy children were brought
out of their shell and learned to enjoy life.
- Overactive
children learned to channel their energy and focus their attention.
|
| They
say that once you learn to ride a bike you never forget. Likewise,
the skills and habits of success, once learned, become a part
of your child. Theirs forever to achieve, grow and improve. I
have witnessed this through hundreds of children who have experienced
our programs. I have had countless parents tell me their child
is a different child after only a short time at the studio. Parents,
teachers, and principals report a growth in confidence, improved
self-discipline, growth in leadership skills, better grades in
school and on and on. |
I
have seen a major improvement in her attitude since she
has joined Mr. G's program. She has a better respect for
other people. She tries harder in school. Alicia works very
hard at being a good example to her younger siblings. I
am very proud of all of Alicia's hard work and I thank Mr.
G for his positive influence on her.

What better gift to give your child than to empower them with
greater self esteem, confidence, focus and concentration. At
Mr. G's Ojai Valley Kenpo Karate Studio
we have developed a specialized program which combines physical
training with life skills development.
Our
belt promotion system is based on the principal of steady consistent
improvement. Self confidence and improved self esteem are developed
through a series of winning experiences. This is how it works.
- Set a goal
- Have a plan
- Work hard towards it's achievement
- Persevere until you reach the goal
- Set higher goal
Of
course the key is to make sure they succeed. How? We have a
curriculum that is divided into small, achievable goals. When
you set a goal, then work for it and achieve it, you begin to
believe in yourself. Do that a few times and a person begins
to feel successful.
|
Our specialized children's program will
truly give your child
a head start in life all while having fun!!
|
|
Here are a few of the benefits:
-
Improved concentration through what we
call the "Rules Of Concentration".
-
More Self Esteem and improved self confidence.
-
Understanding self discipline and why it
is absolutely necessary for success. This alone often improves
grades in school.
-
Increased motivation and the development
of a positive mental attitude. This allows them to learn
from their failures and grow from their successes.
-
Goal setting skills and practical application.
-
The self confidence and self discipline
to say "NO" to drugs and other negatives.
-
Stranger Danger training. Learning how
to spot and avoid danger. What to do if danger is unavoidable.
-
Social interaction, sportsmanship, camaraderie
and fun!
It
is important that your child have some fun in class. We have
developed a series of skill and conditioning building games.
We try to include some fun things in every class!

Don't
just take my word for it, listen to what other parents have to say
about Mr.
G's Ojai Valley Kenpo Karate Studio's unique programs.
"Training with Mr. G has helped my daughter to develop an
attitude of respect for others. Mr. G's training in "Stranger" safety
has given her a healthy sense of environmental awareness."

"My
children and I have been students of Mr. G's Ojai Valley Kenpo
Karate Studio for over 5 years. Three of my four kids have reached
the rank Junior Black Belt. The other is a second degree brown
belt and will be an adult black belt in a few months. More importantly,
they all have a sense of self-confidence and self- respect.
The training they have received at Mr. G's has improved their
study habits, they are more responsible, and they have a greater
sense of respect toward others."
Jose
Diaz - Dad
"Since
my daughter's entry into Mr. G's karate studio, she has learned
some valuable lessons. She has learned excellent strategies
for dealing with conflict in school and at home. She has learned
techniques for dealing with predatory behavior (it can be a
sick world out there). Mr. G teaches his students strategies
for dealing with peer conflict in a verbal non-violent manner.
Along with martial arts training Mr. G teaches students to develop
a sense of personal ethics. In addition, Mr. G makes the classes
fun. My daughter is motivated to be in class regularly and to
succeed."

"Since
my daughter Cindy started martial arts training at Mr. G's Ojai
Valley Kenpo Karate Studio we have noticed a sense of pride
in everything she does. She definitely has a higher sense of
self-esteem. Cindy is more respectful than ever towards her
parents and elders. Cindy is more enthusiastic about being involved
in projects at school. She shows more respect towards her peer
at school and she has more patience towards her 2-year-old sister."
Sherry
Bowhall - Parent
"We
were at our wits end with our daughter's behavior before we
enrolled her in Mr. G's Ojai Valley Kenpo Karate Studio. She
had a poor attitude and was having trouble in school. She would
not focus on her classroom work and as a result was a disruptive
influence in class. She was very physical with fellow students
and showed no respect towards school staff. Since enrolling
her in Mr. G's OVKKS there has been a remarkable change. Tiffany
is showing a great attitude improvement and a positive outlook.
At OVKKS, Mr. G helps students to focus on goal setting. I'm
impressed that Mr. G requires good grades and respectful behavior
at home and school as a prerequisite to all promotions."
Dale
Godfrey - Dad
"When
I enrolled my children at Mr. G's Ojai Valley Kenpo Karate Studio
my goal was to improve their self-esteem and self-discipline
and to have them learn self-defense. They have achieved that
and more. Mr. G is not only my children's martial arts instructor.
He is the definition of what a mentor/role model should be.
Mr. G's is more than a karate studio but you will never fully
understand this until you have seen what I have seen."
