Are you looking to create a solid
foundation for success
for your child?

 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 character development, physical fitness and self-defense, these being the foundational habits of a happy, fulfilled life.

“Personal Best Karate affords the children and all participants a well-rounded program, incorporating health, fitness and community as well as responsibility.”

Denise Brown, Parent of three students

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.

“Personal Best is a wonderful school. It teaches some of the most important traits that children can have.”                                       Tom Sheerin, Parent

“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.

“I can’t rave enough about the staff; how children oriented they are and how respectful they are to the students.”                   Anat Zakai, Parent

The program benefits of character development, physical fitness and self-defense continue to be very valuable skills for children 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!

“My daughter loves the program--it is so good for her self-confidence and her sense of accomplishment.”                   Gail Dorfman, Parent

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

Only YOU can choose to align your child with foundation-building experiences. Personal Best Karate can help you build the skills necessary for success!  Chart a course with Personal Best Karate that will lead YOU and your family to achieving success!
