It's amazing, but true…
"I laughed when I heard that karate would teach my child discipline, confidence,
and self-esteem……
But, now - she's a "Straight A Student,"
Confident, and, Respectful!"

(learn the same lessons that I have - with this special FREE offer!)

Dear Parent,
I don't blame you. You're thinking, "come on …how can karate and martial arts teach wholesome values - and, success skills?" Well, I'm here to tell you, in more ways than you can begin to imagine.

My name is Jose Santamaria. I'm the owner of one of the most successful martial arts schools in the United States, "Santamaria's Karate" here in the Metroplex area.

Since 1966, I've been nurturing children like yours with character building tools found only in karate. No other sport can match them. In the next few pages, I'm going to tell you how you and your child can sample all of this, and more. Free of Charge!!

Watch as your child increases in confidence, energy and spirit. Stand and be dazzled as he becomes unstoppable in his quest for…

Greater academic achievement.
Unshakable self respect.
Increased strength and fitness, in both body and mind.

And all of it comes while learning how to "kick, block, and punch."
Look at it this way. Your child's first and biggest challenge comes not from "fighting for his rights on the street," or "beating up the neighborhood bully." It comes, instead, from battling more sinister forces.

Your child's own fears and self doubts:

• "I'm not as smart as John."
• "I don't get what my teacher is saying."
• "I wish I was as [strong, pretty, tall] as Sally."
• "Why does Jim keep giving me a bad time?"
• "Why can't I be as popular as Jill?"

The question is, how do you get your child to fight these demons? You know the problem. Your child has a tough time even telling you she's haunted by them. Never mind how she might conquer them.

Well, the good news is, I have a proven solution. A program that has already worked for over 10,000 students. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you think.

I call it, "Kids With Kick." Let me tell you it's secret:

To repeat, Martial Arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting…himself. His
innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes
within himself a powerful, unstoppable force.

A force that gives him the strength to kick down the doors of his own self doubts, A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values.

In other words, when your child uses the discipline of karate to conquer his fears, he has power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know of no other sport that does this better than karate. (I should know. Remember, I've been teaching it since 1966.)

But don't take my word for it……..

"Our daughter's self-confidence has grown tremendously. She can stand up in front of her class in school and give an oral report of high caliber. At one time, that would have been very difficult for her. She's been chosen by her teacher to do independent studies. We don't think she could have done that without what she'd learned in karate." Robert & Kathy Lewis

"We were looking for something to stop our son from beating up on his sister. Thanks to Santamarias Karate training, he's now a model student, He won't hit anyone. His teacher can't say enough good things about his behavior. He's become a leader in class. He sits quietly. Everyone wants to sit by him. And yes he no longer hits his sister." Stan & Laurie McKinnon

"Right away, My boy started taking pride in what he was doing. He loved getting better control of his body, both physically and emotionally. He's a very exuberant child. Usually, it's a real effort for him to keep his feet on the ground. Now he has no problem. He also got frustrated easily. Now he can tame his frustration and be glad about it." Lorenzo Trujillo, Ph.D., J.D.

"My son, Nick, started when he was 7 years old - now he's 18, a 3rd Degree Black Belt and senior instructor. I am continually amazed at the tremendously positive effect that Santamarias Karate has had his confidence, personal self esteem, and his self direction. He now is a tremendous public speaker and has confidence in front of large and small audiences" Ron French

Now, you may be asking, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does karate manage to do a better job teaching it?

Again, more than any other sport, Karate gives your child the chance to explore her innate powers. She'll marvel (as you will) as she increases in strength, flexibility endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start.

In fact, her physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of her value skills, mental and spiritual. And not cut off from her physical skills, but intimately connected - even bonded-to them.

Like this:

Courage:

Your child finds the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself to take on more difficult karate moves and skills. He becomes no longer afraid of being afraid.

As he does so, he learns that whatever he sows, so he reaps. He learns to blame no one, but himself. He suddenly sees his life as a constant, never-ending journey of life-giving improvement.

In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He puts an arm lock on his own destiny.

Staying power:

Your child finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can walk farther, run longer, practice skills until she gets them right.

In turn, she learns not to give up. She sticks things out. With the help of her teachers, she strives harder, longer to reach her goals. Even if she fails she perseveres. She won't let her self doubts get in the way of finding ultimate solutions.

As once said, "Where performance is measured, performance improves." Yet, your child has to first accept where he stands now. That means measuring current strengths. Above all, he learns that to succeed, he can't fool anyone, especially himself.

This results in a keener focus. He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and not just in karate.) He pays greater attention to what each teacher says. He knows and accepts where he stands.

These are just three of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from the "Kids with Kick" program. In short, you can look forward to your child developing:

" Powerful Self Control: She'll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. She'll have deeper respect for rules.

" Improved Focus: She'll learn what's needed, along with the skill to "zero in" on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won't get in her way.

" Fearless Self Confidence: Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer.

Towering Role-Model Teachers:As you might guess, all of this couldn't have happened unless I had the very best teachers. To make sure I have the very best each of them have years of experience in my system and have been thoroughly trained in teaching skills. Today, they are all martial arts experts - advanced Black Belts, in fact. Many have won awards for their teaching and physical skills.

Still, you're wondering if this will work for your child. I understand.
So let me tell you an old martial arts story that illustrates our perspective on conflict.

If this is what karate is all about, I'm ready to join… Click here to start today.

It's about a young man , an old man, and a drunk:

"A turning point in my life came one day on a train in the suburbs of Tokyo in the middle of a drowsy spring afternoon.

"At one station the doors opened, and suddenly the quiet afternoon was shattered. There stood a man at the doorway, bellowing at the top of his lungs. He yelled violent, obscene, incomprehensible curses.

Just as the doors closed, the man staggered into the car. He was big, drunk, and dirty. He wore laborer's clothing. His front was stiff with dried vomit. His eyes bugged out a demonic, neon red. His hair was crusted with filth. Screaming, he swung at the first person he saw, a woman with a baby. The blow glanced off her shoulder, sending her spinning into the laps of an elderly couple. It was a miracle that the baby was unharmed.

"The couple jumped up and scrambled toward the other end of the car. They were terrified. The laborer aimed a kick at the retreating back of the old lady. 'I'll kill you, old woman!' he bellowed. He missed, and the old woman scuttled to safety. This so enraged the drunk, he grabbed the metal pole in the center of the car, and tried to wrench it out of its stanchion. I could see that one of his hands was cut and bleeding. The train lurched ahead, the passengers frozen with fear. I stood up.

"I was young and in pretty good shape. I stood six feet, weighed 225. I'd been putting in a solid eight hours of Aikido training every day for the past three years. I liked to throw and grapple. I thought I was tough. Trouble was, my martial skill was untested in actual combat. As students of Aikido, we were not allowed to fight.

"My teacher, the founder of Aikido, taught us each morning that martial arts were devoted to peace. 'Aikido' he said again and again, 'is the art of reconciliation. Whoever has the mind to fight has broken his connection with the universe. If you try to dominate other people, you are defeated. We study how to resolve conflict, not how to start it.'

"I listened to his words. I tried hard. I wanted to quit fighting. I could feel my forbearance exalting me. I felt both tough and holy. In my heart of hearts, however, I was dying to be a hero. I wanted a chance, an absolutely legitimate opportunity whereby I might save the innocent by destroying the guilty.

I've been thinking about starting long enough…Click here to start today.

"'This is it!' I said to myself as I got to my feet. 'This slob, this animal, is drunk and mean and violent. People are in danger. If I don't do something fast, somebody will probably get hurt. I'm gonna take him to the cleaners. "Seeing me stand up, the drunk saw a chance to focus his rage. 'Aha!" he roared. 'A foreigner! You need a lesson in Japanese manners!"

"I held on lightly to the commuter strap overhead. I gave him a slow look of disgust and dismissal. I gave him every bit of nastiness I could summon up. I planned to take this turkey apart, but he had to be the one to move first. And I wanted him mad, because the madder he got, the more certain the victory. I pursed my lips and blew him a sneering, insolent kiss. It hit him like a slap in the face. 'All right!' he hollered. 'You're gonna get a lesson.' He gathered himself for a rush at me. He'd never know what hit him.

"A split second before he moved, someone shouted, 'HEY!' It was so ear-splitting. I wheeled to my left, the drunk spun to his right. We both stared down at a little old Japanese man. He must have been well into his seventies. He sat there immaculate in his kimono and hakama. He took notice of me, but beamed delightedly at the laborer, as though he had a most important secret to share.

"'C'mere,' the old man said in an easy tone of voice. 'Cmere and talk with me.' He waved his hand lightly. The big man followed. He planted his feet in front of the old man and towered over him. 'Talk to you,' he roared above the clacking wheels. 'Why should I talk to you?' The drunk now had his back to me. If his elbow moved so much as a millimeter, I'd droop him in his socks.

"The old man continued to beam at the laborer. There was not a trace of fear or resentment about him. 'What'cha been drinking'?' he asked lightly, his eyes sparkling with interest. 'I been drinkin' sake,' the laborer bellowed back. 'And it's none of your business!' Flecks of spittle splattered the old man.

"'Oh, that's wonderful,' the old man said with delight. . . 'absolutely wonderful! You see, I love sake, too. Every Night, My wife and I (she's 76, you know), warm up a little bottle of sake. We take it out into the garden, and we sit on the old wooden bench that my grandfather's first student made for him.

We watch the sun go down behind the persimmon tree. It is most gratifying, even when it rains!' He looked up at the laborer, eyes twinkling, happy to share the delightful details about his personal life.

"As he struggled to figure where the old man's conversation was taking him, the drunk's face began to soften. His fists slowly unclenched. 'Yeah,' he said slowly, I love persimmons, to. . . .'His voice trailed off.

"'Yes,' said the old man, smiling, 'and I'm sure you have a wonderful wife.'

"'No,' replied the laborer. 'My wife died.' He hung his head. Very gently, swaying with the motion of the train, the big man began to sob. 'I don't got no wife. I don't got no home. I don't got no job. I don't got no money. I don't got no where to go. I'm so ashamed.' Tears rolled down his cheeks. A spasm of pure despair rippled through his body. Above the luggage rack, a four- color ad trumpeted the virtues of suburban luxury living.

Now it was my turn. Standing there in my well-scrubbed youthful innocence, my 'make this world safe for democracy' self- righteousness, I suddenly felt dirtier than he was.

Just then, the train arrived at my stop. The platform was packed. The crowd surged into the car as soon as the doors opened. As I struggled to get out, I heard the old man cluck sympathetically. 'My, my ' he said. 'That is a very difficult position to be in. Tell me about it.

I turned my head for one last look. The laborer was sprawled like a sack on the seat, his head in the old man's lap. The old man looked down at him, all compassion and delight. One hand softly stroked filthy, matted hair.

"As the train pulled away, I sat down on a bench. What I had wanted to do with muscle and meanness had been done with a few kind words. Now I had seen Aikido tried in combat, and the essence of it was love, as the founder had said. I would have to practice the art with an entirely different spirit. It would be a long time before I could speak about the settling of conflict.

Super, this is fantastic… Click here to start today.

So what's this have to do with your child?

Ask Yourself, "What did the old man have that the young man didn't?" For me it has to do with peace. The more confidence a person has in himself, the less need he has to fight with himself. He's at peace with who he is. Now, I still know what you're thinking: How can I know for sure the "Kids with Kick" program will work for my child? Will learning to 'kick, block, and punch' really work for her?

I've made it very easy for you to find out - for your child……….
