Patience is the Powerful Word This Month at Premier Martial Arts

"The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it." --Arnold H. Glasgow

Premier Martial Arts here in Walla Walla is studying the Powerful Word Patience . Good things come to those who wait.

"Regardless of age, It's hard to wait! While some children seem to be able to "occupy" their time better than others, it is often easier to get what you right away than have to wait your turn to get it . The good news is, we can help our children exercise their patience skills so that they get better at waiting things out. Here are some tips:

1. Start Now


2. Teach Strategies


3. Show them how to be patient


4. Practice

These are a few of the concepts we will be teaching our children this month. We welcome you to join our Personal Develepment School.

Calm

The ability to be calm leads us to take the appropriate steps in dissolving chaos in our lives. To achieve peace in any situation, we need to calm our thoughts so we can dispel our fears. As parents, we need to model calm and provide a calm atmosphere in our homes. We need to think clearly and guide conversations in a peaceful manner. We, as adults, need to take it further and model calm in our neighborhoods and our workplaces. Like happiness, calm begins within. Once we set the foundation, we can begin building the way to peace in our lives.

Stranger Danger? Here is Better Research

“Stranger danger” - the phrase is so pervasive in our culture that it has become part of the lexicon. Well-intentioned adults perpetuate this misguided message, and the media often uses it as a slogan. A recent case illustrates how literal children may be when given a specific message. The child in this case may have evaded his rescuers, because he had been taught “not to talk to strangers.” .... More....

Premier Martial Arts gives Children and Adults Confidence to be themselves in all situations. Children need this self confidence to act effectively when faced with a potentially dangerous situation.

What is Non Classical Gung Fu? Gung Fu is Cantonese for Kung Fu which means good work or job well done, it has come to mean here in America Chinese Martial Arts. Bruce Lee made the Martial Arts famous in the movies but lessor known is the effect that he had on martial arts in general. Bruce approached the arts from a what works point of view rather than following tradition blindly and inadvertantly launched the concept of mixed martial arts. Bruce Lee's first students name is Jesse Glover who is one of the worlds leading experts on Bruce's methods. Steve Smith is a personal student of Jesse Glover and Fook Yueng, who was a teacher of Bruce Lee from 1959 to around 1966, Steve was made inheritor of Fook Yueng in the late 1990s and asked to continue teaching the method. What does that mean to you? Well you have a direct link into this rich method of work from someone who was taught directly from the source first generation.
