You are probably thinking, “What does karate have to do with teaching Life Skills?” Well, I would like to let you know that it has EVERYTHING to do with teaching Life Skills.

My name is Denny Strecker. I am the owner (or so I’m told) of the fastest growing karate school in Michigan, “Denny Strecker’s Karate” — which is located in Warren Michigan.

For over 18 years, I have been working with families and showing parents ways to help improve their child’s self-confidence, self-discipline, respect, and courtesy that are only found in karate. No sport can say that!

Watch as your child increases in confidence, respect and discipline. See how we can help him become unstoppable in his quest for…

And all of it comes from taking our Karate for Children Program. Still, you’re wondering if this will work for your child. I understand.

This is how I look at it. Your child’s first and biggest challenge doesn’t come from “fighting for his rights on the playground,” or “protecting himself the neighborhood bully.” Instead, he battles a much tougher enemy. Their own fears and self doubts:

Parents ask me all of the time, “How do I help my child fight these enemies?” They have a tough time even telling you about them let alone how she might conquer them.

Well, The Good News Is, I Have A Proven Solution.

A program that has already worked for over 1,000 Metro Detroit children. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you think. I call it “Confident Kids.” Let me tell you why it is so successful.

Karate for Children has very little to do with your child learning to fight others, but more about taking on himself. His innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within himself a powerful, unstoppable force.

A force that gives him the strength to face his own self doubts. A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values.

In other words, when your child uses the discipline they learn from my Karate for Children Program to conquer his fears, he has the power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know of no other sport that does this better than karate. (I should know. Remember, I’ve been teaching it for over 18 years.)

“Denny Strecker’s Karate has covered everything most important in a child’s life and development.

“I am so very impressed with the Denny Strecker’s Karate. It is definitely for the entire family and we feel at home here. I would say that is the best compliment of all, everyone wants to have a comfort level of their own home. Mrs. Andrea is a Fantastic teacher that is very in tune with the children. My son loves her, looks up to her and respects her. And everyone is willing to help in anyway they can, with Karate, Home and School. Thank you for everything!” Tammy Rezny, Warren Mi.

Now, You May Be Asking, How Does All This “Values” Stuff Work?

And why does karate for children manage to do a better job teaching it?

Again, more than any other sport, karate gives your child the chance to explore her innate powers.

She’ll marvel (as you will) as she increases in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony.

Yet, this is only the start.

In fact, her physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of her value skills, mental and spiritual. And not cut off from her physical skills, but intimately connected — even bonded — to them.

Like This:

	Watch your child start to move outside of his comfort zone. He begins to challenge himself by practicing more difficult karate techniques. He is no longer afraid of being afraid. He learns that he can accomplish whatever he sets his mind on. He learns to never accept defeat. He sees that his life is now a never-ending journey of life-giving improvement. In short, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He chooses his own destiny.
	Your child finds joy in improving her physical fitness. She can walk and run longer, and practice any skill she is interested in learning until she thinks they are right. She learns not to give up – to see things through. With the help of her teachers, she strives harder and longer to reach her goals. Even if she isn’t successful, she learns from the experience and continues to move forwards. She won’t let insecurity get in the way of reaching her final destination.
	A famous quote is, “Where performance is measured, performance improves.” But before that can happen, your child has to first learn to find the starting point. That means measuring current abilities. Above all, he learns that to succeed, he can’t take shortcuts and must regularly evaluate his progress.

This results in a sharper focus.He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and not just in karate).He pays greater attention to what each teacher says.

He knows and accepts where he stands.

These are just three of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from the “Confident Kids” program.

You Can Look Forward To Your Child Developing. . .

• Powerful self control. She will become a leader to her peers and not become a follower to negative peer pressure. She will respect authority and follow rules better.
• Improved focus. She will learn how to stay on track with a goal she has set and not let those normal, yet time-wasting, distractions get in her way.
• Never ending self confidence. Your child finds the courage to face any challenge or obstacle and meet it head on.
• Real World role-models. Children are always looking for role models and in today’s world, I am afraid to say they are in short supply. While cartoons and superheros are cool, we offer real, living and breathing positive role models for your child to look up to and to interact with.

“Logan’s behavior at school is now rated a Level “3” for the first time all year!
	I found your program and knew you could help. I noticed improvements in Logan after the first few classes. He started to listen better and even began to answer, “Yes Ma’am” when he was spoken to. I am very proud of Logan’s improvement in his behavior and Logan is proud of himself which makes it even better! Thank you for helping my son.” Andrea Jump, Center Line, Mi

Now, I Know What You Are Saying To Yourself:

“Sounds great! But how do I know that…

the `Confident Kids’ program will work for my child?

Will learning karate really work for her?”

Here is an easy way for you to see for yourself. . .

Your child can have an entire month of classes for just $50. See firsthand, if I can give your child the powerful benefits I have mentioned above.

Here’s how it works: Watch with your own eyes as your child learns from one of our top karate teachers…

Your child begins by learning the meaning behind the karate “bow.” Then watch him as he: Learns about emotional respect, both for himself and others. Gains power from the “Six Points of Body Balance.” Demonstrates the “Three Skills of Listening.” Then you will catch yourself smiling as you hear him recite the first principle of the Student Creed: “I intend to develop myself in a positive manner, and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.”

More respect. Then watch as your child: Gains super confidence with the “Three Self-Defense Techniques Every Child Should Know.” Finally, applaud your child as they learn another portion of our Student Creed: “I intend to develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.”

Believe me, with just with these two short lessons, your child will come away with her self confidence greatly improved, and not just some imagined improvement. You will clearly notice the difference. She will have learned some real “life skills.” Skills that she will be able to use for the rest of her life.

All while enjoying the fun and excitement of my upbeat karate program.

Sincerely,

P.S. All this talk of values may have mislead you. Be assured, I do teach karate as everyone likes to think of it. Your child will end up knowing how to protect herself. She’ll know how to avoid danger, how to use conflict resolution techniques — but without once throwing a kick, block, or punch!

P.P.S. Remember, call today and get almost $110.00 in value: two classes and a free karate uniform. Plus, my report written on your child’s level: “Three Tips for Developing Self-Confidence.”

Here is what Dr. Peters has to say…

“I believe that martial art training is one of the best activities a child can participate in to build confidence, self-esteem, and discipline.”
