What are karate lessons worth to the shy little boy who never
raised his hand in class for lack of confidence letting a world of
learning pass him bye before gaining the self-esteem to not only to
raise his hand but to actually ask questions having taken just a few
weeks of karate lessons.
What are karate lessons worth to Justin Rue's mother, a single mom
struggling to make it through life with a young son lacking in
focus, motivation and self-discipline.
After nine months in the program there were tears in her eyes
when a beaming Justin came home from school with his first ever
report card containing an
A!
What are karate lessons worth to the little eight year old girl
whose karate lessons gave her the mental and physical resources to
give a strange man a hard enough kick in the shin that he let go of
her long enough for her to run away?
Thankfully they arrested him later that day.
As a parent I get chills even thinking about such things, but
I am sure her parents will never question the value of karate
lessons.
What are karate lessons worth to John Stutz an auto mechanic with
chronic back problems that vanished after several weeks of the
stretching exercises before class? What's the increased life span
worth for attorney Chris Mears looking to vanquish his stress after
long days dealing with difficult people and finding serenity just
punching and kicking the heavy bag at the school?
What are karate lessons worth to the nurse Lisa Clancy grabbed from
behind as she unlocked her car coming off the night shift at the
hospital? (Not to mention a certain perverse pleasure she must have
taken for rendering her attacker to the ward she had just left under
armed guard!) All thanks to karate classes at the school that showed
how to use keys and other every day objects as emergency weapons.
In a world of gangs, drugs and school shootings we all think it will
never happen to our kids. What's it worth to a parent’s extra peace
of mind to have their teen involved in the pursuit of physical and
mental EXCELLENCE while learning the value of respect to themselves
and others surrounded by a positive environment of discipline and
learning?
What is a child's confidence and self-esteem worth? What is it worth
to experience the joy of self-discipline, motivation and
persistence? What is less stress and better health worth?
More importantly, should you ever have to face a threatening
situation, what is your life worth?
The answer of course is priceless yet the tuition at Rising Sun
Karate Academy is far more reasonable!
