Ok – I will mention it – great work outs with great folks give support and motivation … even for a getting slightly older parent!

On Wednesday, many of our Little Heroes tested for their new belts. To reward their hard work and dedication, today and tomorrow will be GAME DAYS!
Congratulations everyone!!
Always learning! The Instructor Academy was in session today learning from our resident kinesiologist Mr. Kumar Bandyo.
All of our students start the same way: with a free 1-on-1 SKILLZ evaluation.
This session helps the kids break the ice so they feel comfortable in our learning environment. They meet their instructors, get to play games while learning some cool ninja moves.
The session also lets parents see how we work with the kids. We want to be sure our methods align with the family culture.
Finally, the evaluation session allows us to assess each child's physical, intellectual, emotional, and social stages of development. We can then use that information, along with the parents' goals, to decide if we are a good fit, and then place each child in the most appropriate program.
This service is free and can provide valuable insight into your child's behaviors, strengths, and challenges.
Ready to reserve your child's spot? Visit www.martialartsportcoquitlam.com and select a day and time that fits your schedule!
Check out our amazing Excel Martial Arts umbrellas! Limited numbers available.
We believe long-term discipline and confidence is fostered best through supportive role-models so we train our instructors to apply positive and nurturing teaching strategies.

"Children cannot be what they cannot see."
It starts with us as parents, teachers, & coaches to demonstrate the behavior we want our children to have.
If we want them to have more patience, we need to show patience when its put under pressure.
If we want them to eat healthy, we need to make consistent, healthy choices.
If we want them to spend less time on electronics, we need to spend less time on electronics…
It's a process that won't happen overnight, but with consistency and effort to make these examples teachable moments, you will make progress!

We will be closed this Thursday for all evening classes in respect and solidarity for Truth and Reconciliation Day. We recognize that we must do our part to honour the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families and communities.
We hope that you will also take this day to learn, listen, and grow from the stories of our First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. We'll see you on the mat Friday!

"My child needs to learn discipline!"
Discipline is a common concern for parents of 3- and 4-year-old kids.
The truest sense of the word discipline is a teaching. Someone who is a disciple is a student of a school, teacher, or philosophy, not just a person who needs to be punished or corrected.
When led with patience and empathy by adults who care, even the youngest kids can learn to show the patience, attention, emotional regulation usually associated with a parent's goals for a "well-disciplined" child.
Of course, this takes time and is not something to be achieved overnight. That said, a program like Little Heroes can help supercharge a child's physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development!
