Are you looking for a martial arts school that is focused on using martial arts as a means to self improvement, rather than just fighting?

How martial arts training turned a young juvenile delinquent into a martial arts school owner

I started training in Karate as a teenager.

At that time in my life, I was getting into a LOT of trouble. I was hanging out with the wrong crowd.But wait, it didn't stop there..Unfortunately, I was staying out late without calling. Basically, I was a juvenile delinquent. In truth, I was my parent's worst nightmare come true..

Astonishing, isn't it?Suffice to say I owe my parents a BIG apology!Anyway, training had so many benefits to offer, but at this time in my life, I wasn't actively looking for them.Honestly, I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world to be able to actually learn this stuff. However, it was only after a few months of training that I became aware of all of the benefits that training in martial arts had to offer.

Benefits like increased focus and concentration, confidence, and self-discipline became a huge part of my life. 

In other words, as I went to more and more classes, my life began to change.

Surprisingly, I began to apply the lessons of martial arts to my everyday life. Indeed, I found that I began to surround myself with like-minded individuals. Simultaneously,  I began to spend less time with people who were content with being lazy, undisciplined and irresponsible.

Fortunately, I learned that the  perseverance required to master a karate form (kata) was the same type of perseverance needed to write a college essay. I found that the mental toughness required for sparring helped me get through stressful times in my life. I learned that the self-discipline needed to get proficient with fighting was the same self-discipline required for finishing that work project on time.

Consequently, I began to approach problems in my life, in the same way I approached my training.

But you know what else? I realized that martial arts styles like Wing Chun, Karate, Muay Thai, Escrima, Arnis, Kali, Judo, Chinese Kung Fu, and Jeet Kune Do are not just ways of fighting, but rather they are ways or paths to learning about yourself.

You’re going to love this…

Best of all, I APPLIED what I was taught in martial arts classes to my life outside of the academy.

If the lessons of martial arts cannot improve you as a person, then what is the point? Martial arts instruction has little value in today's modern society, unless it can change you. The bottom line is, martial arts is really a way of life.

Training in martial arts is a never-ending quest for improvement. Training can be the most wonderful, life-changing, an activity that you experience. 

In the end,, if you have what it takes to master the skills required of a style, you will, in essence, have mastered yourself.

It all comes down to this...

My life has been transformed by martial arts. I hope that it can do something similar for you. Better yet, if you are looking for top-notch martial arts instruction in Las Vegas or Henderson, NV, we would like for you to come in and check us out. you won't regret it!
