Dear
Parent,
I don’t blame you. You’re thinking, “come on …how can karate and the martial arts teach wholesome values - and, success skills?” Well, I’m here to tell you, in more ways than you can begin to imagine. My name is Dr. Gary Wong. I’m the owner of one of the most successful martial art programs in the Bay Area. My school is Wong’s Ji Do Kwan in Fremont, California. For the past 25 years , I’ve been nurturing children like yours with character building tools found only in the martial arts. No other sport can even come close. In the next few pages, I’m going to tell you how you and your child can sample all of this, and more. FREE OF CHARGE!! Watch as your child increases in confidence, self esteem and learns to be empowered to be the best person he or she can become. You can’t believe how your child will thirst and search for a greater knowledge and watch as they achieve..... • Greater academic achievement. • Greater self respect and self discipline. • Increased strength in the mind, body and spirit. And all of it comes while learning how to “block, punch and kick,.” The greatest gift you can give your child is to have the tools to deal with their own doubts and fears. Look at it this way. Your child’s first and biggest challenge comes not from “fighting for their rights on the street,” or “beating up the neighborhood bully.” It comes, instead, from battling the internal struggle. Your child’s own doubts and fears: • “I’m not as athletic as Joe” • “I’m not as smart as Amy” • “I don’t understand what my teacher is saying.” • “I wish I was as [strong, pretty, tall] as Patty.” • “Why does Ronnie keep giving me a bad time?” • “Why can’t I be as popular as Kim?” The question is, how do you get your child to fight these demons? You know the problem. Your child has a tough time even telling you he or she’s haunted by them. Never mind how they might conquer them. Well, the great news is, I have a proven solution. A program that has already worked for many children. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you think. I call it, “Breaking Out.” Let me tell you it’s secret: To repeat, The Martial Arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting…himself or herself. Whatever their innermost fears are....... Conquer them, and your child unleashes within themself a powerful, unstoppable force. A force that gives them the strength to kick down the doors of their own self doubts, A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values. In other words, when your child uses the discipline of Karate to conquer their own fears, they have the power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of their life. I know of no other sport that does this better than Karate. (I should know. Remember, I’ve been teaching it for 25 years.) Now, you may be asking, how does all this “values” stuff work? And why does Karate manage to do a better job teaching it? Again, more than any other sport, Karate gives your child the chance to explore their own innate powers. They’ll marvel (as you will) as they increase in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the beginning. The development of physical skill act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of their value skills, mental and spiritual. This encompasses a strong union of the mind, body and sprit. Like this: COURAGE: Your child finds the courage to move outside of their comfort zone. They take on more difficult Karate moves and skills. They are no longer afraid of being afraid. They will learn that maximum effort in equals great pride in one’s self out. They learn to blame no one, but take on their own responsibility for their actions. They begin to see their life as a constant, never-ending journey of life-giving improvement. In short, your child will begin to control their own destiny. STAYING POWER: Your child finds joy in improving their physical stamina. They can walk farther, run longer, practice skills until they get them right. In turn, they learn not to give up. They see things through. With the help of our teachers, your child strives harder and longer to reach their goals. Even if they fail they learn to persevere. Your child won’t let self doubt get in the way of finding ultimate solutions. As a man once said, “Where performance is measured, performance improves.” Yet, your child has to first accept where they stand now. That means measuring current strengths. Above all, they learn that to succeed, they can’t fool anyone, especially themself. This results in a keener focus. They learn to make eye contact with their teacher (and not just in Karate.) They pay greater attention to what each teacher says. They know and accept where they stand. These are just three of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from the “Breaking Out” program. In short, you can look forward to your child developing: • Powerful Self Control: Your child will refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. They’ll have deeper respect for rules. • Improved Focus: Your child will learn what’s needed, along with the skill to “zero in” on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won’t get in the way. • Fearless Self Confidence: Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer. TOWERING
ROLE-MODEL INSTRUCTORS: |
So let me tell you an old martial arts story that illustrates our perspective on conflict... It was a typical day unlike any other day in urban America. The bus was comparatively empty except for a few housewives with their kids in tow, some old folks going shopping. I watched as we drove by the buildings as they just seemed to blend in with the surroundings. At one stop the doors opened and in an instant the quiet ordinary day was transformed by a loud belligerent man yelling and cursing. This man was disheveled and obviously drunk and began ranting and screaming. He was loud and obnoxious and began to push people out the way. He pushed a woman that was carrying groceries and knocked her down to the floor. Luckily she was unharmed. Some people helped her to her feet and then hastily moved to the other side of the bus away from this crazed man. This upset the man even more and he began to kick and swing punches at the people who were trying to move to safety. This man was standing in the middle of the bus and everyone was in fear and cowered and would not look him in the eye. He began to yell out even more trying to evoke a fight. I stood up. I was young and tough and had several years of martial training behind me. I felt that the people on this bus are in danger and if I didn’t do something about this somebody would get hurt. I was going to teach this guy a lesson. As I stood, the drunken man was yelling that he was going to teach me a lesson. I readied myself and the drunken man began to plan a run at me. Just then another voice spoke up. It was as if time had stopped and everyone was frozen in their tracks unable to move and the only thing that any of us could do was to listen. The drunken man and I had turned to see an older man sitting there calm and relaxed. He looked right at the drunken man and with a slight gesture of his hand and a nod of his head he asked the drunken man to come and talk. The drunken man walked toward the old man sitting there and stopped at his feet. He bellowed out "Why the hell should I talk to you?" The old man looked into the man’s eyes, smiled and asked “What have you been drinking?” "Wine, that’s what I’ve been drinking" the laborer bellowed back, "and it’s none of your business!" "How delightful," the old man said, “You see, I love wine too.” Every night my wife and I take it out into the garden, and we sit on an old wooden bench. We watch the sun go down, and we look to see how our apple tree is doing. My great-grandfather planted that tree, and we worry about whether it will recover from the draught we had the last few years. Our tree has done better than I expected, though, especially when you consider the poor quality of the soil. It is so gratifying to watch when we take our wine and go out to enjoy the evening even when it rains!" There
was a calmness in the old man’s voice that just seemed to
soothe the spirit of this once enraged man. As he followed the old
man’s conversation, the drunk’s face began to soften.
His fists slowly unclenched. As
the bus arrived at my stop and the doors opened, I heard the old
man say "That is a difficult predicament, indeed. Sit down
here and tell me about it." A
great martial artist once said: This is the true meaning of the martial arts. So
