Dear new Ancient Ways parents,
Even though everyone comes here to AWMAA for different reasons, we can still offer a different, guiding experience for each student. For instance, you may notice we are stronger coaches with certain students who are ready to be coached and pushed. Some need it and thrive on it. Other times we will pour on the specific and exacting praise and extra specific guidance for those who need to build their confidence first. Everyone has a different path. This is why we have different programs such as Core, Lil’ Dragons, Black Belt Club. Master’s Club, Leadership Team and Legacy, just so that we can address each individual’s goals.
Now, the reality is that kids just want to have fun, that’s their goal. They aren’t old enough that they can rationalize how much this is going to positively change their lives, that the purpose of this is more than just “fun.” That’s why we need you to understand…for their sake, and to make this decision for them. This is therapeutic and you shouldn’t let your child make the decisions about anything that you know is good for them. Please understand that we expect tough times, complaints of tedium, challenges and the “I don’t want to go days.”
Your goals are confidence, impulse control, improved focus, self discipline, respect. That is much loftier than your child’s goals. We can do all of that and more. Talk to any of our Black Belt Parents. They will tell you. They know who their child was, who they would have become and who they have become instead thanks to the training.
Our goal is not to entertain your child. Although we want them to love martial arts like we do. Our overall mission is to use the training in practical martial arts to give them the strength, resiliency, self-discipline, perseverance and confidence so they can, more easily, make their own lives whatever they choose as they grow into powerful adults.Our goals are self actualization and personal development, using practical self defense oriented martial arts training.
We do that best by working as a team with you. Please use the link below to schedule a face-to-face progress check with me. We will discuss your specific goals for your child. I will answer any questions you might have. I will also explain about our methods for helping your child to achieve a level far beyond anything they believe they can do.
I look forward to getting to know you and working together for the future of your kiddos.
