The Black Belt Myth

The Black Belt Myth (What They Never Told You About Being a Black Belt) By Jesse Enkamp For years, you’ve been told a lie. An ugly, dirty lie. Indoctrinated by people you trusted, with the implicit purpose of “protecting you from reality” , you’ve been secretly brainwashed since you first discovered martial arts. Why? The short answer: Because a convenient lie is safer than an inconvenient truth. The long answer: Because if you knew the truth, the whole truth, you’d probably never have started martial arts to begin with – and you’d most likely not be reading this paragraph. I know… Mind-blowing, right? Let me ....

In fact, many parents whose children have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) report great success with these ....

BY MELINDA BORING Martial arts teacher Rodger Pyle was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a child, but he didn’t let it hold him back. “The public school didn’t know how to channel my energy, but I knew I could learn. I needed direction,” he says. Pyle found direction in martial arts. It gave him the confidence to work toward his goals. Today, at the USA Seibukan Martial Arts Training Center, in Columbus, Ohio, he helps ....

Martial Arts Training Can Help Autism

Martial Arts Training Can Help Autism New work reveals that traditional martial arts practice helps communication. Posted Oct 29, 2016 Training in traditional martial arts requires physical and mental focus. As contrasted with martial arts that that focus exclusively on competition and fighting, traditional here means those practices emphasizing overall skill and character development with movement patterning. Such training is essentially a holistic synergy of mind-body coordination. Habitual practice in martial arts, particularly when structured patterns of attack and defence are repeated, can serve as an excellent tool for physical and mental training. For those with autism ....

BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM

BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS FOR KIDS WITH AUTISM Posted by Century Martial Arts on 8/20/2019 If there is one thing that martial arts practitioners believe, it is that a foundation of discipline, respect and training will help bring you success.

SARAH PICONE, KARATE BIRTHDAY PARTY MOM

We had our son’s 5th birthday party at Rising Sun Karate Academy. If you’re looking for something unique this is a great place to have a child’s birthday party. They were professional and took care of the set up and clean up. Sensei Koerner & Sensei Bush were great with all the children.

By far the easiest party I’ve had for my kids because they handled everything for us. It was especially nice to have the place to ourselves. Felt way less chaotic than a party at urban air for example. They were very accommodating as they opened for us on my requested party date (they were supposed to be closed). They had fun activities planned the full hour and a half and kept the kid’s attention the entire time.

Great place. I highly recommend!

My grandson LOVES Rising Sun Karate!! He's 6 years old and has only been in the program for 3 months. He can't wait for the next class. He loves to practice at home. He's learning karate, structure and respect. The teachers are fun and attentive to each child.

SANDY KEENAN, MOM OF 2 RSKA KARATE STUDENTS

Maria had a fantastic class as always! She learns so much from each and every class. Darren really enjoyed his class... he loves when Kyoshi Alex is there. He loves all the Instructors, but there is just something special about Kyoshi Alex. I am so happy with the progress that both of my kids have been making! Sempai Haye is always amazing! He makes it fun and so enjoyable that my kids look forward to going to class each week!

Thank you for doing such an amazing job!

Sincerely,

Sandy Keenan
