Can martial arts training actually harm your children?

f you are one of the 5% of parents who believe this, then yes. Otherwise, like 95% of the parents out there, you will share the belief that enrolling your child in a reputable, proven martial arts school will teach them life lessons and develop great physical attributes. Martial arts training can actually be a child development tool for your child that offers more than most activities out there. Parents want to develop their child’s motor skills, concentration, and general behaviour. It’s a fact that many medical professionals recommend Taekwondo for kids with all kinds of issues, for example High functioning Autism, Central Auditory processing Disorder, ADHD to name a few. Parents report greater discipline and performance at school. It teaches the value of getting fit and setting goals and kids learn that reward generally comes from effort and good behaviour to earn belts. Taekwondo is an Olympic sport but it is the normal traditional TKD classes where the work is done and students learn self-defence skills .The tournaments are optional. Little

What is effective tuition?

Dragons, Korean Karate or Taekwondo are still the most widely practiced martial arts classes in the world today for kids aged 313rs of age.

ictoria Carlton often gets asked to explain the high rate of success at International Centre for Excellence and give reasons. Victoria is convinced that the following factors contribute to their high success rate:

Most parents report that since enrolling their child in Martial arts they can see the difference in fitness, confidence and focus. Their child has become empowered so that they can stand up for themselves and not become victim of bullying.

• Students at International Centre for Excellence are taught in small groups with specially trained educators who know how to encourage and coach students of all ages

This can take some time in many children, however, ATI have never seen a child who perseveres in training, develop into anything but a more confident, respectful, attentive and physically impressive individual.

• All students are considered to be smart with individual learning styles and needs and therefore have individualised programs even when working in small groups

Tony Curtis is a 7th degree master Black belt of Taekwondo who runs ATI Martial Arts. He has taught thousands of children and families over 30 years of teaching and helping students to improve themselves in every way and become better people.

• ICE are prepared to work with your child’s teacher if requested – they train thousands of teachers each year and therefore are well known by teachers • They only use state of the art programs, books, computer programs and write their own curriculum based on children’s needs and the requirements of the National

re you or your former partner with whom your child lives considering relocation? If you are, consideration needs to be given to the impact that it would have on the child spending time with their other parent. Has your former partner relocated with your child without your consent or do you believe that your former partner may unreasonably withhold their consent for you to relocate with the child? In matters of relocation the Court’s paramount consideration is the best interest of the child. In determining this, the Court will consider factors such as the relationship between the child and the child’s parents, the likely effect on the relationship of the proposed or enforced change and the distance and costs of the travel the child would have to undertake. These aspects are balanced against the circumstances surrounding the relocation such as greater family support, job opportunities and the like.

Give kids what they need

Your child will:

• Be given clear instruction then encouraged to choose and undertake tasks independently

Victoria Carlton, Director of International Centre for Excellence says her teachers use Jolly Phonics and Jolly Grammar to teach basics to children. Thousands of teachers attend ICE for intensive training with these methods.

• Be encouraged to care for oneself independently such as dressing, putting on shoes, toileting, eating and washing

“These researched programs will lift Aussie kids from atrocious literacy levels,” says Victoria. “We also use our own multisensory maths program to ensure children learn basics like number facts, think mathematically and confidently solve problems.

• Be shown respect by caring professional educators as an example for the courtesy expected in return

when they attain success in their career!”

• Be offered lessons that are appropriate to ones abilities and interests

Term and holiday programs are offered for students of all ages.

• Learn how to work as a part of a caring

A pool safety net protecting 24/7

health, sport & safety

Kids having learning difficulties? Struggling at school? Experiencing bullying issues? Let us help. Specialising in working with children. Our organization is here to help with resilience training, stress management, support assistance with social skills and problem solving skills for children and much more call today to discuss

here are many reasons for having a safety net, most importantly because it has a 100% safety record since inception in 1974 (no drownings). The pool safety net is a barrier between the child and the water – drownings happen at the water’s edge, not the fence line.

The pool safety net is designed as a deterrent for children. The 100mm squares in the net are bigger than preschoolers’ (most at risk of drowning) feet but smaller than their heads. Children won’t intentionally go onto the net because if they try to walk on it their feet will go through (but their heads won’t). They stay well away from the net because it isn’t fun.
