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.

Is Your Child a Bully?

"No one wants to hear that their child is a bully. But if complaints are building up from children, teachers or other parents that your son or daughter is bullying other kids, it's a good idea to listen.Children and teens who are bullies are more likely to become criminals than other children. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, boys who were identified as bullies in middle school were four times as likely as their non-bullying peers to have more than one criminal conviction by the time they're 24."

Many People have asked me if Martial Arts teach children to be more aggressive, the answer to that is that when Martial Arts are taught correctly with live skills, children, teen agers, and adults become much less aggressive. They have self confidence to be sure which alows them the space and the tools to deescalate the aggression coming at them, to defuse the situation. In Tai Chi Chuan there is a saying to Attach, Neutralize and Return. Listen to what is being said, the body language really seek to understand the aggressive person, the neutralize, find common ground, then Return, by offering another alternative.

Premier Martial Arts is a world leader in teaching and empowing people to have the ability and courage to stand up for what they believe in.

We are getting into shape and feeling better everyday, I know that I am feeling like my old self again with the exercise and work outs. Darinda would like to say that through you and ma'am, she has been inspired to take courage to live life and not to be held captive by the past, and the world we live in. She feels encouraged to higher goals in her life and to have a positive effect on others in her day, all of which she contributes to your workouts, teachings, and personal interaction. Jeremiah says that he is having fun. That's about it, but I think that's a good one too. :) I would like to say that I have been having days of energy, and a level of awareness that I don't really think I have ever had in my life. Again, we wish to thank you and the school, and we ask God to bless you all in your personal lives, and in the time you spend with your students and the changes you make in their lives."
