Kids

Dear Parents,

Welcome!  My name is Master Jeffrey Ruth. My major goal as an Elementary School Teacher and a Professional Martial Arts Instructor is to help your child achieve greater academic success, gain confidence, increase self-esteem, avoid peer pressure, and lead a fit and healthy lifestyle.

There are Five Things You Want For Your Child:

1) To Learn

2) Be Safe

3) Have Fun/Make Friends

4) Stay Fit

5) Know that their teachers enjoy having them in class.

I promise that participating in our martial arts program will be one of the best things that you have ever done for your child. 

Our Kids Curriculum is built around four primary components: 

  • Mixed Martial Arts

  • Physical Fitness

  • Character Education

  • Bully Buster System

We feel that all components combined will promote a synergy that helps build the foundation towards higher self-esteem, discipline, and essential behavioral skills to do well in school and in their daily lifestyle.  READ ON TO LEARN MORE!

 

FIND OUT WHY MARTIAL ARTS  

is the most effective activity for children. The use of drills and exercises that involve throwing, kicking, grappling, and punching, not only provides physical fitness, but other benefits such as improvement in focus, memory, teamwork, discipline, self-control, balance, and coordination

Our Thai-jitsu Program will prepare your child to have positive mental and physical skills that will help them in school, at home and in life. 

As a Certified Physical Education Teacher and an Expert Martial Arts Instructor, I honestly believe that participation in the Martial Arts is the #1 Activity for Children.   Remember, not all Martial Arts Schools are the same. Thai-Jitsu trains your child in all ranges of personal self-defense, which are the striking range, clinching range, and ground conflict.  We do it all!

PHYSICAL FITNESS

Parents, did you know that Healthy kids are smarter kids?  It has been proven that physical activity, such as participating in our program, leads to increased concentration, improved math, reading and writing test scores. 

Does Your Child Participate In Other Sports?  In our program, your child will learn fitness skills that can be applied to all sports-related activities.  First, we stress the importance of stretching, the number one prevention of all sports-related injuries.  Second, our programs involve cardio activity that not only builds a stronger heart, but also prevents obesity and promotes endurance.  Third, we guarantee that we will enhance your child’s level of fitness.  For example, Little League Baseball.  We can help your child develop power in their swing.  Did you know that the efforts of a swing are the same as a proper punch in martial arts? In our classes, your child will learn how to strategically use their whole body, through use of drills and exercises that involve throwing, kicking, punching, grappling, and pulling.

Our program produces healthy, superior athletes! Every class, your child will learn simple and proven activities that will increase their speed, coordination, balance, agility and power.

Does Your Child Have A Poor Body Image?

The Center for Disease Control put out an alarming statistic about American Kids that made headlines.   Kids are fatter than ever before.  Overweight kids have an increased chance of becoming overweight adults.  Here’s another alarming statistic:  The National And Health and Nutrition Examination Survey stated that one out of every eight children are now overweight.  The most effective way you can battle this problem is through increasing your child's physical activity levels.

CHARACTER EDUCATION

Discover How Martial Arts Is Ten Times Better Than Team Sports In Developing A Child's Self Esteem And Confidence!

Our program gives your child the gift of mental perseverance and mental toughness. Your child will learn how to consistently perform towards the upper ranges of their own talents and skill regardless of any circumstance.  They will never give up too easily.  This value alone puts your child ahead of all others.  I’m constantly consulting with various educators and specialists in children’s education in order to bring you the most effective program for your child.

Our Teaching Methods  Incorporate the Responsive Classroom "C.A.R.E.S." Teaching Philosophy.

     Community & Cooperation: Service, citizenship, interdependence, teamwork, fairness and acceptance

     Appropriate Assertion: Self-Confidence, self reliance, toughness, tenacity, courage and problem solving

     Respect & Responsibility: Care and respect for self, others and environment; honesty and trustworthiness

     Empathy: Appreciation of differences, diversity, compassion and fairness

     Self-Control:  Perseverance, determination, patience, courtesy, and reflection

 BULLY PREVENTION

BULLYING is a significant daily threat to students seeking to exercise their right to achieve academic and personal excellence.

The Bully Buster System is an educational program developed by school administrator / martial arts expert Dr. Terrance Webster Doyle.  We teach and introduce young people to strategies for coping with bullying and how not to be a bully.  Mental Self Defense helps children learn how to avoid conflict by using non-violent alternatives.  We offer this information as a part of our regular curriculum for all Team Lloyd Irvin Students.

FACT: American youths rate bullying and teasing as their biggest problem according to a survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Parents, REMEMBER that bullying occurs when one or more children attempt to intimidate or harm another child or group of children by means of verbal threats or physical force; or when they emotionally abuse them by cursing, taunting, teasing or excluding them from a group or activity. 

Here are just some of the bully prevention strategies your child will learn at our academy!

 

q       How to report bullying

q       20 things to do instead of hurting someone back

q       5 important steps to an “I message.”

q       8 steps to conflict resolution

q       Realistic Self-Defense Skills that could save your child’s life!

q       Leadership skills that will help your child TAKE CHARGE of any potential dangerous situation.

 

Again and again, you read news headlines about the increasing problem of bullying in school.  Don't be misled to think that bullying only happens in high school or in older-aged kids.  Bullying happens in different stages at all age levels.  This is why we feel that adding our bully prevention curriculum in our program will help teach your child how to respond to various situations now or in the future.  Prevention is key here.  Don't wait until your child becomes a victim or is the cause of victimization. 

Parents, I hope you can see why I’m so excited to be bringing Team Lloyd Irvin Martial Arts to the Arlington area.  I know of no other activity that teaches your child Essential Life Skills any better than our Thai-Jitsu Program. The Martial Arts has literally changed my life in nothing but positive ways and I know it will do the same for your child. 

I’ve made it real simple for you and your child to test drive our program.
