1. Confidence
The belt system is the key. Your child will start as a white belt and then move to gold belt, orange belt and so on to black belt. As we prepare him or her to earn each belt, his or her skill level improves and confidence grows. Each belt presents a new challenge that your child will learn to meet and exceed.
Our parents tell us this gives their children an unshakable confidence that improves all areas of their lives. Their grades get better. They’re better behaved and they gain the confidence to say NO to peer pressure.
2. Self-discipline
One of the things that parents appreciate about our classes is the improvement that they see in their child’s discipline and self-control. We have an excellent staff of very patient instructors who are great with children. We have fun with the kids but we also set clear limits and boundaries. We also make a point with the kids that they must carry this behavior outside of the studio into their school and home.
We teach that black belt represents excellence. Even if he is not a black belt, he can have the black belt attitude and this is emphasized every class. We teach the kids that when they are in school to ask themselves, “How would a black belt listen to the teacher? How would a black belt do this assignment?” This is very powerful for motivating students to make massive changes in their behavior and attitude.
3. Hyper or Aggressive Kid
Some doctors actually prescribe children with ADHD classes at our school as a means of treatment. Our classes give kids with extra energy or aggression a positive way to channel that energy.
4. Getting Bullied or Self-defense
The first line of defense is self-confidence and Pro-Star is great for building the right kind of confidence in children. We will also teach your chlld the skills necessary for self-protection, should they be required.
