TRAIN OUTSIDE
This is fun! When you get outside, it inspires your imagination, unleashes creativity, relieves stress, and allows you to enjoy the beautiful world around you. This is a fun way to practice your martial arts training. You can train in the backyard, at a park, at a friend’s house, or with your parents. Bruce Lee was famous for this. He trained in the sand, in streets, on dirt, logs, mats, in water, and anywhere else he could fi nd that was different. Training in different places makes it unusual and makes it fun – and of course, practicing makes you better. Getting outside opens your eyes to the world around you, beyond what you see through television, computers, and books.
Try this: Pick a few days to go outside and practice. Next, choose where you want to practice. Then, decide if you are going to practice by yourself, with some friends, or with your parents. Have fun!

Parent’s Night Out: Kung Fu Panda Movie Night (5.7.11)
April 9, 2011 by Mr. McNallan · Leave a Comment

This is a totally awesome kung fu movie with tons of fun. The major themes are: believe in yourself and never give up. It also teaches lessons in self-discipline which is a fundamental concept in martial arts. There is also an excellent element that teaches to respect those who older as they are wiser, which every mom and dad should appreciate given the flood of movies that encourage kids to disrespect adults. All of these themes along with the basis in Chinese culture provide excellent material for activities and discussion.
Student’s and friends ages 5 & up: Join us Saturday, May 7th 4-8pm for Kung Fu Panda Movie Night.

Kid Power Health & Fitness (3.26.11)

THE CHALLENGE
The US government has declared obesity a national epidemic. Nearly one in three children in America are overweight or obese. During the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled. It is considered to be the number one cause of disease and death in the United States. It is linked to developing depression and low self-esteem in children. Obese children have a 70% chance of remaining obese even in their adulthood.
One third of all children born this decade will suffer from chronic obesity-related health problems like:
Heart Disease, Type-2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Cancer, Strokes, Sleep Apnea, Asthma and more…
The annual cost to society for obesity is estimated at nearly 100 Billion dollars!
THE ANSWER
Kids Need to be Motivated, Educated and Inspired. The primary cause for obesity is the imbalance between calorie intake and calories expended. One in five school age kids eat up to 6 snacks adding up to 1,500 empty calories per day. Portions and beverage sizes are up 2 to 5 times and meals average 31% more calories. With proper education and motivation we can help inspire the youth to improve their habits.
