Junior Achievers Program
(7 -13 years old)

Martial Arts Begins and Ends With Respect

Our Junior Leadership Program is based on the core values of Martial Arts
training. "Martial Arts Begins and Ends With Respect." From this basic
premise, we develop your child's awareness and skills in three primary areas:
Respect, Discipline and Self Control. Our core curriculum includes hi-energy
drills and skills designed to build and condition each child's attitude, behavior
and overall character development. Our Black Belt Champions and Elite
Leadership training helps children and young adults develop greater
self-control and self-discipline in everything they do. Our training instills
confidence through positive coaching, lot's of encouragement and a powerful
mentoring relationship with role model leaders. We also teach valuable life skills that focus on Goal-Setting, positive attitude,
relationship building, communication skills and leadership. We offer an exciting step-by-step coaching series to develop these
critical personal development and hi-level achievement skills.

Practical Self-Defense & Safety Awareness

Safe kids make for happy parents. Kids tend to listen to people they like, trust and respect. Our highly trained teaching staff
will share vital safety tips and teach your child practical self-defense. Most important is that your child understands some
simple rules of safety. They will learn tips such as safety in numbers and learning to practice safe habits in their daily routine.
Knowledge is power; we provide an explanation of common abduction lures and teach kids to be cautiously aware of their
surroundings. No parent wants their child to live in fear, yet they want to know that their child is safe. We believe strongly in
helping your child become confident and capable young adults who understand right from wrong and will know when to stand
their ground and when to run-yell-tell. We also stress non-violent conflict resolution, how to avoid dangerous situations and
practical techniques for getting away from a range of situations being cornered, being grabbed and being tackled to the
ground. Our practical self-defense skills include karate, kickboxing and on the ground grappling defense. Your child will be
trained when and when not to use their self defense skills, and our students have a clear understanding of being responsible
for their actions and attitudes.


Champions are always Victors and never Victims...


    Kids who learn to defend themselves usually will never have to. They have
    learned to walk with confidence and they are less apt to be a prime target for
    bullies and/or abductors. Studies prove that anyone who wants to harm a child or
    has ill intent is more likely to go for the weakest looking kid they can find. Kids
    that are aware and act in a more confident manner are the greatest deterrent to
    bullies and dangerous adults. Kids who train in the Martial Arts become more
    assertive and less aggressive. Just like Adults, if they have a healthy outlet for
    their energy, they will let go of stress and frustrations. Watch the level of energy
    our kids exert in a class and you'll understand why they sleep well at night. Kids
    with a high level of self-confidence are also better able to deal with negative peer
    pressure and "Say No" to dangerous situations and threatening adults.



My name is Pierre DeSocio my son Zachary, age 9, is enrolled at your dojo. He is currently a purple belt committed to be a
BBC. I just wanted to say that his attitude, attention span and school grades have all risen to new heights! I and everyone
else should applaud the whole Clay Team for your dedication to karate and your students. I would like to tell all of you a story
that has begun to change Zachary in school and in life. Zach's grades were below average and his attention span was about
five seconds long, especially when he had a school test. So one day when you guys and gals were teaching Zach the focus
(hand) symbol, it dawned on me to tell him to use this before and during a test. It has Worked!!! He says he puts his hands
together under the desk and starts to focus like he is in karate class. With this, Dad's happy and so are his teachers. This
story was told to some Administrators at Willowfield School, and they have since recommended Karate to some parents that
have kids with limited focus skills. Again, thank you all.

Healthy, Wealthy, Happy & Fit...with a Fighting Spirit that will Never Quit!

Television, video games and fast foods present significant temptations and challenges to our young people today. We strive
every day to deliver a program that builds a sense of balance for your child. Our Junior Leadership Program inspires kids with
specific instruction on how to live healthier, how to exercise and how to build energy and a dynamic spirit. We want your child
to be better prepared to face life's challenges and be successful in everything they do. Statistics tell us that 1/3 of all kids are
obese and that fully 2/3 are overweight and at risk of preventable health challenges that could lead to early death. Most kids
are less active than previous generations and spend too much time on the computer or playing video games. They barely
even have a structured gym class in school. Combine the lack of activity with the ease of fast foods and the junk that kids can
easily become addicted to, and it's easy to see why our nation is creating kids at risk. Our program will get your child in the
best shape of their young lives. We'll increase their flexibility, strengthen and tone their muscles and give them greater
endurance. All while they are having fun and learning valuable life skills that will carry over to becoming successful adults.
Our instructors are experts at motivating kids and bringing out the best in them. We love to team up with families to instill a
non-quitting spirit in kids and help them become Black Belt Champions in life.


Habits we Train...are Habits we Gain!

We take our job as Instructors and success coaches very seriously. We know that we can
make a difference and we have been developing innovative and successful systems for
over 30 years. All of our USA Black Belt Champion classes are taught in a safe, fun,
upbeat and energizing environment. Your child is developing habits everyday; anything
they do over and over again is becoming habit. Good habits are easy to live with,
however, they can be tough to develop on your own. Most people need a coach and
that's where we come in. Unfortunately, bad habits are easy to develop and are very
tough to live with. Our teaching style is based on positive coaching, goal setting and lot's
of encouragement. We never give up on kids; we always team up and we have plenty of
success stories to keep us committed to instilling habits of excellence in the lives of
children. The vast majority of our Junior Black Belt Leaders are high-academic achievers,
great kids and highly athletic. The majority don't start that way, with time, training and
teamwork, we have seen thousands of kids become highly successful in every aspect of
their life.

How do you get your child started?

It's easy to start. We start by scheduling a FREE PRIVATE LESSON for your child with one of our highly trained and Nationally
Certified Instructors. We require a parent or legal guardian to be present so that we can get to know you and your child
better. At the same time, we will give you a tour of our training facility (called a Dojo), educate you about our school, our staff
and the programs we offer. You will have the chance to see if our program is right for you and your family. There is no cost or
obligation for the evaluation lesson. Our tuition rates are reasonable, competitive and affordable. Call the location nearest
you right away and we'll show you how we can make a difference in the life of your child.
