Dear Fellow Parent,
Welcome to
Personal Best Karate! Now YOU have the opportunity to see
for yourself what happens to your child when their true
potential is released. It’s an opportunity to join a winning
team of dedicated individuals who are all striving to be the
best they can be through the study of the Personal Best
Karate System.
“The
Personal Best program has not only strengthened our
son’s physical and mental abilities, but has touched his
heart.”
- Laura Van Nuland, Parent
Personal
Best Karate provides the most exciting and innovative
programs YOU and YOUR child will ever experience in the area
of Personal Responsibility Education. When answering
the question, “What do you expect your child to gain from
the study of the Personal Best Karate System?” the majority
of parents indicate that they want their children to learn
the values taught Personal Best: respect,
responsibility and self-discipline. Parents
search for ways to counterbalance the negative messages
bombarding their children from movies, television and other
forms of pop culture.
“I love
the enthusiasm along with the moral values that are
taught: the thoughtfulness, the encouragement the
children receive no matter how well they do. They are
praised for their effort. Thanks!”
- Sharon Lynch, Parent
The Personal Best beliefs are very
strong regarding
personal development, physical fitness and self-defense,
these being the foundational habits of a happy, fulfilled life.
“My husband and I are very pleased
with the positive changes we have seen in Isabelle since
joining PBK. She very much loves attending her classes
and loves Miss Joyce.”
Bartolucci family
At Personal
Best we teach not only the traditional Martial Arts values,
but also emphasize the important values and benefits that
you seek for your child. For example, we proudly incorporate
the “S.T.A.R.” program (Success Through Acting Responsibly
or Stop, Think, Act and Review) into our curriculum. It uses
a decision making model that will help YOUR CHILD solve
problems and resolve conflicts.
“The quality of your instructors is
your biggest asset. I wouldn’t drive 25 minutes one way
for this class if it wasn’t for them.”
- Shultz family
“Eric
exemplifies your ‘Personal Best’ philosophy in all
facets of learning! It is truly my extreme pleasure to
teach such an outstanding young man!”
- Mrs. La Conte, Teacher
As a
Personal Best Parent, you will enter Personal Best and
immediately catch the spirit of the positive atmosphere and
the sincere promises and pledges of the staff to assist
everyone in their achievement of individual excellence! The
Personal Best Instructors always share a positive attitude
and assist students in achieving their goals. The Training
Directors have shared many stories about our students’
progress through the Personal Best Karate System. Some of
our proudest include:
Watching a
painfully shy four-year-old become a happy,
out-going student
Seeing a
young boy diagnosed with A.D.D. improve his grades
in school after only short time in class
Hearing
about the positive, behavioral changes at home of a
child who came to Personal Best with respect issues
A young
girl who was always a good student, but lacked the
skills necessary to be socially accepted because she
didn’t fit in with the traditional competitive-based
programs
A young boy
who for the first time was able to non-violently
stop a school yard bully from bothering him
A
ten-year-old whose self confidence has improved
through the positive, self-paced program Personal
Best offers
A teen
student who has achieved a solid physical and mental
foundation, empowering him resist negative
influences and to continue on the road to success in
his life.
“Having experienced another karate
school with my older son, I am delighted to be at PBK
now. The positive energy and fun learning environment
is wonderful and I never (or almost never) have to push
Henry to come when its time for his class. I also enjoy
Miss Joyce’s boxing classes and the self defense for
women class I attended was fun and informative.”
- Tattersfield family
The program
benefits of character development, physical fitness and
self-defense continue to be very valuable skills for
children to learn.
“Concentration, Follows Directions,
Conduct,
Self Discipline, Respect, Patience, Confidence,
Leadership, Positive Attitude” - All
marked EXCELLENT by a Second Grade Teacher
Class time
is carefully planned and scheduled to consider the specific
age groups.
“The
people are awesome. The classes have great instructors
that are flexible with the hours of classes.”
- Mrs. Beecher, Parent
Young
Adult students (Ages 7-12 years old) receive physical
training and self-defense instruction appropriate for their
level. For your younger children, they will have the
opportunity to participate with the Tiny Tots, a
program designed especially for ages 3 to 6 years old. This
program emphasizes three words: respect, self-control and
concentration. From the “Yes, Sir/Yes, Ma’am” to the bow of
respect, the children are very attentive to their instructor
and learn (at this very influential stage of their lives)
good citizenship, all while having fun and earning awards.
As a part of their classroom activities, children are
awarded recognition and public praise for doing their chores
around the house. What a wonderful tool to make a parent’s
job a lot easier!
“Confidence + Poise + Discipline =
Personal Best” - Jim
McDonald, Grandparent
There is
a new concern many parents face as public schools
continue to downsize and even eliminate physical education
programs. Think of your child’s class as an opportunity to
have a personal fitness trainer who shares the success
skills of maintaining a healthy body. You will see your
child’s strength, endurance, and flexibility improve to a
level well above acceptable fitness levels. Many of our
children have gone onto become great athletes in other
sports as well, thanks to their involvement in our program.
We have even had some go back to competitive sports, after
having improved their physicality through the Personal Best
Karate System. More importantly though, your child will
learn how to keep their body healthy for a lifetime. At
Personal Best you are assured of the best advantages for YOU
and YOUR CHILD!
“This program was the best thing we
have done for William. Not only does he learn self
defense he learns self discipline, self respect and good
values.” - McPherson family
Not only
will your child be involved in a powerful personal
development program, but he/she will become part of the
community outreach program Personal Best offers. We know
that actively being in the service of other people is much
more powerful than just sharing a lecture about what a child
should do. Our curriculum integrates community involvement
as a way of tangibly reinforcing lessons talked about in
class. It is said that true self-esteem requires the
“service above self” component to be fully mature.
To this end,
the students and parents of Personal Best have gained
notoriety through their participation in local and national
campaigns, including assisting local charitable causes as
well as the “Kick Drugs Out of America Campaign” with
Chuck Norris.
Most
recently, Personal Best was honored to be a winner in the “Make A Difference” Award, a nationally recognized
achievement sponsored by the USA Today newspaper.
“I am
always telling people about this program. It has been an
awesome experience for my kids!”
- Denise
Mercier, Parent
