Kid Quest Program

Most parents do everything they can to teach these things to their children.  But many parents need some help. After all, with our busy 21st Century schedules, it's hard to find the time and resources to really help them with these important life skills.  You would think and expect that they would learn about perseverance, positive mental attitudes, self discipline and goal setting in school, but they really don't.

Students who attend the Budo Quest Martial Arts Dojo are a step up on others because we teach them about these important life skills and how to develop them success traits that will pay off for the rest of their lives.

During the many years that I have been training (over 37 years) and teaching martial arts I have seen countless numbers of young boys and girls who were very shy and lacked anything that resembled self confidence.  Some of them could not focus or concentrate for more than a few seconds at a time.
Others were overweight or were slower learners than their peers. Many of these children were not doing very well in school or in social situations because of their lack of self confidence.  I have a very soft spot in my heart for these youngsters. I know that with the right direction and training their lives can be changed significantly for the better.

I made it my goal many years ago that we would teach much more than just kicking and punching.  That our organization would specialize in personal development and in teaching life skills that would make a difference.  They say that once you learn to ride a bike that you never forget. Likewise, the skills and habits of success, once learned, become a part of your child.  Theirs forever, to achieve, grow and improve.  I have witnessed this through thousands of children who have experienced our program.  I have had countless parents tell me their child is a different only after a short time in our program. 

Confidence, Self discipline, improving Leadership skills, better grades in school and on and on.

What better gift to give your child than to empower them with greater self-esteem, confidence, focus and concentration. At Budo Quest Martial Arts Dojo we have developed a specialized program which combines physical training with life skills development.

Our children belt promotion system is based on the principal of steady consistent improvement. Self confidence and improved self esteem are developed through a series of winning experiences. This is how it works:

• Set a goal
• Have a plan
• Work hard towards it's achievement
• Persevere until you reach the goal
• Set a higher goal

Of course the key is to make sure they win. How?  By having a children curriculum that is easy to achieve.  When a child sets a goal, Works for it, he will  Achieves it.  They start to believe in themselves.  Do that over and over and they feel almost invincible.

Not All Martial Arts Schools Are Created Equal!

Perhaps the best part of our program, from the children's point of view, is just how much fun the classes really are.  Our high energy classes focus your child's energy in a positive and productive manner.   We focus on quality instruction and personal attention to our students.
