My kids love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
The trainers are super patient with the kids and they are so advanced!
It’s a great place where kids learn discipline while having fun. My son gained confidence and improved his skills with every class the instructor is patient and very good working with kids.
This is a great place for kids to learn confidence my son always has so much fun and he has learned so much in such a short amount of time! He always got such a good work out which helps at bedtime that he could get that last bit if energy out in a healthy way.
Great facility and coaches. The vibe here is awesome
I've been coming here for just about over a month now and I have to say that the atmosphere here is amazing. The coaches are very professional and provide for a great learning environment regardless of your experience level. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.
Amazing people, great coaches and classes, welcoming family environment and they train winners and champions!
Great Staff! I love the training and what a workout!
Here at Bonita Martial Arts Academy, we build our kids to be champions in life. There are many life skills that come into play when it comes to Martial Arts and one of them among many is Humility. But what is your definition of humility?
One of the ways we help teach humility to the kids in our programs, is to not allow them to brag or show off in class. In class, after every match, we have them high five, bump fists, and say good job; we do not allow them to dance around and make fun of their partner for losing. We also don’t allow them to boast before their matches, i.e. ‘haha, I’m so good! I’m gonna beat you!’. Whenever we do catch them boasting or bragging, we make sure to correct them and let them know it is not acceptable because it hurts other’s feelings. To help reinforce this to them, we reverse the roles and ask them how would they feel if someone else did it to them? They realize that it would hurt their feelings, and they apologize.
Another way we help teach them humility is by providing examples to help them recognize it outside of class. For instance, they’re playing around with their friends and win a race/game. They shouldn’t say, ‘haha, I’m so fast, you’re so slow!’. Once they get the idea, we’ll have them provide some examples; a lot of times they come up with great ones all on their own!
We also help them learn humility by staying humble. If someone gives them a compliment, have them thank that person instead of saying ‘I know!’. Also, we like to teach them to help others that are not as fortunate as them. Being the holiday season for giving, the gym typically holds a toy drive for Toys for Tots to help those less fortunate. While that requires buying a new gift, something that the kids could do would be to look for a toy that they don’t play with much anymore, and donate it to a different charity or possibly gift it to a child that they know is not as fortunate as them. So look out for a toy drive this 2019 Christmas 🙂
