Gary has a bit of a temper, but I've already noticed the change. He's more respectful to me. And his teachers can't believe it! He calls them "ma'am" and "sir". No other kid in his class shows their teachers this much respect.
It really makes me feel great, and I feel like I've done a great thing for myself and my child by enrolling him in this martial arts class.
At first I wasn't sure if Ashley would like the program. After all, she's only 6, so she never really sticks to anything.
Boy was I wrong! She gets extremely upset if we ever have to miss a class now. And I can tell she's more focused, more attentive, and just all around happier after starting this program.
When Brian got off the bus today, and got in the car, he couldn't stop talking about how he stood up to this bully who had been picking on him for weeks! He said the bully backed down, and everyone saw it! I got so choked up that he looked at me and asked me why I was crying.
I just told him I was so proud of him.
Thank you
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Michael did his homework today the first time I asked him! I'm still in shock! I know it's because of what he learned in class.
You have put together an incredible program. Thank you so much.
This is crazy... Even when I let my stomach hang out - I still see the muscles! I didn't even have a stomach like this in my teen years - or in my 20s.
When we go to the beach... Or when I go for a jog and wear a sports bra... I feel GOOD. No more feeling self-conscious or worried about how I look. I just feel great, and energized.
I've honestly never felt better!
Just wanted to let you know the other day I was at the club, and accidentally bumped into this guy. He must've been a little "off" or something because he started yelling and screaming calling me names. I looked him in the eyes and politely said, "Hey, I'm sorry for bumping you man. I'd rather not fight, but if we have to, let's go outside." And I just looked him straight in the eyes.
Normally I would've backed down. But after just a couple months of Martial Arts - I feel like I can defend myself. I'll never back down again.
One of the things we learn in class is not just how to control our bodies - but how to control our minds and emotions too.
I feel now that I have an inner-calm now. It's like nothing can shake me. I'm polite and courteous in situations where I used to sometimes be short with people. I smile genuinely at all of my customers. I'm more appreciative of my family and friends.
This is NOT just learning how to defend yourself. This is learning how to make your life even better. In every way.
