Frustration to Greatness: 100 days to Awesomeness

By Rochelle E. Brenner

The goal is simple yet ambitious: to guide your child towards achieving the top 10 percent of milestones in key areas of growth and development. 

By enrolling in this educational plan at Action Karate, you are committed to supporting your child’s success and preparing them for school transitions, time-management, a healthy lifestyle, practicing pursuits, conditioning for athletics and mind-body development. New members embarking on this exciting martial arts journey will see new milestones within the first 100 days of training.  Students have the opportunity to earn stripes on their belt, patches, and demonstrate their progress each week.

The comprehensive program is designed to cultivate and celebrate the following achievements:

Set and Accomplish Goals: Your child will have the opportunity to set, consistently work toward and accomplish specific goals, fostering a sense of achievement and empowerment. Goals are strategically set to match the top 10 percent for their age for an area of development defined by health officials and child-development experts.

Social/Emotional Development: Through focus anchors, taking turns, working with partners and leaders, showing grit, overcoming challenges, your child will develop essential social and emotional skills that support their education at school and mental health

Language/Communication Skills: From mastering the student creed, memorizing moves, confidently answering questions, and training in each phase of the martial arts curriculum, your child will enhance their language and communication abilities.

Cognitive Development: Activities such as pattern recognition, matching, following multi-step instructions, navigating obstacle courses, memory repetition, and creative movement will sharpen your child's cognitive skills and problem-solving abilities.

Physical/Movement Skills: Your child will improve balance while kicking, improve form in fitness exercises, kicks, and stances, promoting physical strength, coordination, and agility.

Writing/Drawing: The Teachings of the Asah Shark book incorporates life lessons into engaging stories where they draw, write and talk to friends and family about their character.
