This May 16th, we had a very special day. We organized an open house summer camp for the parents. This open house was organized so that we will get to meet the parents. Parents get to meet us. During this meeting, we will able to share with the parents, the many summer time

activities that we plan for our kids here at our Martial arts and self-defense school. The primary reason kid’s join our self-defense class is to learn how to defend themselves if they should find themselves in danger. This is our main goal. However, martial arts do not exist in an isolated world. We also teach character development skills /lessons about discipline and self-confidence, respect, manners and much more. And this is what makes a difference in between our martial arts school and a Gym and our After school care program and a school district extended care. 

In some ways, it is better to define our classes as personality development which also includes Jiu jitsu and kickboxing/Martial arts sessions.

Our summer camp is a long duration program where we organize a collection of activities.

There are simply too many activities that we conduct during this camp. We really cannot explain all of them through our website or promotional brochures. Parents who send their kids to our camp need to know what exactly their kids will learn. They will have a lot of questions.

They will also need a lot of clarifications. There will be situations where even the kids may have a lot of questions. They might be comfortable letting their parents ask those questions for them.

Primarily for these reasons, we had the open house for parents. Parents came along with their kids and they place their questions. We were able to answer all of them and they were satisfied with the answers we gave them. We had no idea that parents would be enthusiastic about this program. Even the kids joined in and asked a lot of questions. As the program progressed, we knew that this has become our most successfully event ever.

Since the day was going so well, and there were so many parents and children, we decided to do something special. We hosted an event called as ‘ABCs of success’. We did this event because it has something for the adults in the event and something for the kids as well. This event was about teaching the kids how to set goals and achieve them. We used their self- defense classes as an example and told them about setting goals about learning new things.

Once the kids understood the value of setting goals with their self-defense classes, we expanded that to include life itself. We told them that they will need to set goals in their life too and use the techniques they learnt in class. We explained to them that, by doing so, they will be able to achieve their goals and become a better person. We also taught them how to use the breaking board system. The whole thing ended with all the kids breaking a board.

As the event drew to a close, everybody who was there – parents and kids were happy. They knew more about the summer camp than when they arrived that morning. Kids learnt about goal settings. Parents were pleased. It was a great day! Call now for summer Camp activities in Glendora, La Verne, San Dimas: 626-335-4971
