With
our After-School program at Aim and Focus Karate our
students are taught discipline, manners, respect,
and self-esteem. With a
traditional day-care or extended-day programs, children run around
and play. The opportunities to learn and develop new
skills are limited. Our program also focuses
on your child's physical fitness. We work out hard
in karate class but we also have tremendous fun playing
high energy games with the children. Parents
visiting our classes can feel the energy in the room.
 We
are focused on providing what we do best --- teaching a
martial art. Using this strong foundation, we’ve
built a fun and exciting After-School program. The
students in our program work very hard, both physically
and mentally. This is an intensive physical
program. Yet, students of different ages and
abilities are always welcome. The young man
pictured to the left has been with us for several years.
He has a great attitude and tries very hard no matter
what he's working on. He simply loves the
challenge.
Dr. Randy Pausch touched millions of people across the
globe with his
"The Last Lecture" presentation and
follow-up book (Note: I heartily recommend both if
you're unfamiliar with his work). One aspect of
Dr. Pausch's work is the "head fake" -- teaching
something without the student realizing the hidden
meaning of the material. Our program at Aim and
Focus Karate is all about using the "head fake".
Our students learn about self esteem, self control,
respect, discipline, humility (something young people
today often miss), setting goals, achieving goals and
what to do when their goals are not met, all without
realizing that is what they're working on.
We concentrate on a limited number of schools for our program.
We want to develop a strong relationship with each
campus. Unlike other daycare operations that might
pickup from numerous schools in order to fill their
roster, we focus on providing a high quality program
that attracts students from the schools we work
with. We have spent years developing our
partnerships with each campus and truly enjoy a great
working relationship with each school. In many
cases we've been able to work with the schools to
address issues that have come up in the classroom.
This simply wouldn't be possible if we didn't have such
a strong working relationship with each of the campuses
we service.
Success in the classroom is one of our primary
objectives. Working with parents we strive to help
each student be successful where it matters most...in
their school classroom. We practice respect and
discipline in the do jang, but in the classroom is where
the real benefits can be achieved.
We don't offer a lot of "promotional incentives" ("Get
this free", "Enroll today before time runs out", etc.)
to attract students to our programs. We simply
offer an excellent program to the community we serve.
I treasure the reputation of Aim and Focus Karate.
My staff and I have worked very hard building that
reputation and we intend to keep earning it each and
every day.
