5 Tips To Making It Happen This Year!

Happy New Year from all of us here at Team MAA! The start of the year is a crucial time… It’s a unique window of opportunity to take the right actions that will set you up for the rest of the year. In this window of opportunity, you have two choices. To settle or to take action. For most people, they will let another year slip by. It will be a different year with the same excuses.

A Note For Parents About Setting Expectations

PARENTS - REMEMBER THIS..... Sometimes we set unrealistic expectations for ourselves and our kids. But that only leads to frustration and STRESS. But if we look at things more “realistically,” and set goal to make them better… We’re happier overall :) Here are some things to remind yourself as a parent: “All kids misbehave sometimes. It’s okay for a child to act out sometimes.” “It’s okay that I don’t have all the answers as a parent. I can figure things out as I go.” “I always have a second chance. If I didn’t handle something well with my child the first time - I can do better the next time.” ....

6 Awesome, Easy Tips For Better Homework This Year!

Get the energy flowing first
Moving the body motivates the brain. Try having your child walk or bike after school, play outside, do chores around the house, or go to the dojo (karate school). Make sure your child has had a chance to run, walk, or jump around before sitting down to do homework. If they are a student of the martial arts, a few kicks or blocks in a safe place will do the trick. Turn off screens and cell phones
Before your kid tackles homework or does anything that takes concentration, turn off the television. Or if others are watching it, make sure your child is far enough away that he/she can’t be distracted by it. Also, shut down or move him/her away from ....

"In the dojo, young students learn to bow to their sensei and to their opponents. Respect is instilled from the very first lesson." 2) Instill Discipline

5 Unusual Forms of Meditation That Improve Focus & Concentration
We've talked about meditation a lot in these newsletters. I don't care who you are - a grungey, hardcore MMA guy or a house mom just wanting to get in great shape... Meditation will change your life. Why? It's pretty simple. We live in a crazy world. Mental stimuli is everywhere. We all have deadlines, responsibilities, relationships, careers or school, etc., etc., etc. But our minds are cups that can only hold so much.

Fantastic place, great workout, nice staff. My mother and I have been taking kickboxing classes here for a few years and I highly recommend it. It's a blast!

Jessia R.

Beyond proud of my Little Dragon who was awarded his yellow belt today! Thank you to the staff of Martial Arts America for helping him grow, building confidence and independence along the way! The look on Matthew's face when he got that belt was priceless! He knew he had accomplished something great!

Rick W.

Simply, AWESOME, great instructors who really care about you and encourage you to do your best no matter what fitness level you're at. I joined kickboxing 3 years ago and said goodbye to the jelly belly and hello to a six pack of abs. A year later I started the Martial Arts program that not only created self-discipline but gave me the confidence to protect my family and myself. MAA is constantly enhancing their facility, fitness, and martial arts programs so you will never get stuck in a rut. I will recommend MAA to everyone.
