"Martial Arts Is The Best Thing You Can Do For Your Child!"
Mike Bogdanski's Martial Arts Center has classes for a variety of childrens age levels.
Read on to see which classes will fit best for your child or children.
Martial Arts Prepares Children For Life-Improve your child's self esteem, self discipline and focus while building courage.
Tiny Tigers (age 4)
Our Tiny Tiger class is designed specifically for preschoolers age four. Children develop cognitively at different ages, so it is critical that they have classes designed specifically for their level. This class helps students learn self-control, patience and respect.
Children learn life skills like keeping your hands to yourself, raising their hand to ask a question and answering "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma'am" to questions. Yes, children this young have a great time learning martial arts and the rules of conduct that are vitally important at this age. "Stranger danger" and using 911 emergency calling is also taught in this class.
Little Dragons (ages 5 to 6)
Our Little Dragon class is taught age appropriate for this group's learning potential. Children this age need a class separate from children 7 and up because of the difference in their development so we have developed a curriculum just for them. (A thirty-minute class is the optimum time for this age group).
While learning self-defense these children will have lots of fun in a curriculum custom designed to build their confidence along with learning respect and self-control. All classes are taught with a mental as well as physical lesson in mind and a class ratio of not more than one to eight is always maintained.
It's a scary world out there for kids, isn't it? Each day we ask our children to face challenges that were unheard of just a few short years ago. Overcrowded classrooms, peer pressure, violence and a level of negativity in our society that can discourage even the brightest and most optimistic child. Then, when our children hopefully manage to remain physically safe, we can't help but feel alarmed - wondering if they are maintaining optimism and the self-esteem they had when they were younger.
I am writing to you as one parent to another with an important message: It doesn't have to e this way. A solution exists, and it's easier than you think!

Come in and meet with Master Instructor Mike Bogdanski. With a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in School Counseling as well as being a seventh degree Black Belt, he is the areas most qualified martial arts instructor.
Students will learn a proper greeting, a focused listening stance, how to be assertive (without being passive or aggressive), the 4 rules of concentration, the difference between discipline and self discipline, and to set their goal to earn their beginner belt by learning "I will develop self discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others".
Students will learn some beginner level self defense skills that they can accomplish. The focus of the program is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed.
Since we know telling is not teaching we like to have the children make their bed to show that they are developing self discipline. We will work on their personal integrity - They have to make 2 promises-
1. To practice
2. Not to practice on brothers, sisters, mom's or animals (use their common sense).
Class Two
After learning their student creed and practicing at home your child will be excited to get to class to earn their official belt. We will review all the previous material, have them quote their student creed about "self discipline" and then cheer their progress as they have the honor of receiving their official beginner belt.
At this point we will teach them a proper handshake, have you give them a big hug and than decide which program will be right for you. Believe me, after setting their goal, and working hard to achieve it they will walk away with a tremendous boost of self confidence.
All the while enjoying the fun and excitement of a positive martial arts environment. Please act fast because these classes fill up quickly and we are committed to having a small teacher student ratio in our classes.
Believe me.
