4 out of my 6 kids are already Black Belts. I found that 3-4 years old was the best time for them to start their training. Here’s why…The younger, the better.
When kids are small they don’t get “easy” or “hard.” What they do understand is boring and fun.
Meet Manesha one of newest probationary Black Belts.
Earning your black belt at our academy is no small feat
mind you, but Manesha’s victory is especially sweet!
The best way to build a competitive spirit in your child is to “challenge” them. You see, kids love a challenge.
When you bring your kids to our academy, we challenge them right from the outset.
First we’ll teach them a skill and then we’ll turn it into a game. Games are fun!
The one that concerns (and keeps us up at night) most is grades. When our kids don’t do well in school we blame ourselves or even worse our ego gets involved and we say “But I was good in school!?” so we blame our significant other’s gene pool 😉
I can’t tell you how many times I have parent in my office (pulling their hair out) because they’re struggling getting their kid to follow direction. This is when I share our #1 Teaching Skill—PCP.
PCP stands for Praise-Correct-Praise!

Let’s be honest, when we don’t see our kids succeeding, we parents feel like failures. You know what I’m talking about…that little voice goes off in our head saying “You’re doing it wrong!”
And yet we keep doing things the same way? Isn’t that the definition of insanity—doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?
I can’t tell you how many times a week I have a young parent in my office (usually a Mom in tears) pulling their hair out, because they can’t get their child to sit and do their homework.
When this happens, I always relate the story of Matthew…
