Black Belt Learning Strategies


At American Black Belt Academy a black belt is awarded to every person who reaches their max potential in the Martial Arts.


Because the time varies so greatly, people often wonder what the secret is to rapid progress in martial arts. Most instructors would tell you that all it takes is hard training as often as possible. At American Black Belt Academy we believe that it is not just how many classes you take, but what you take from the classes.

Those who progress most rapidly are the ones who know how to learn most effectively.
In this article we will be discussing one learning strategy that will help you reach black belt in the least amount of time possible.

Black Belt Learning Strategy #4: Become a Type 2 Student .........

"Martial Arts Motivation for Children"

By Jeffrey Miller

I want to address a common parental concern that I continue to encounter, both in my role as a martial arts teacher, and as a fellow parent. This is in the difficulty that many parents often encounter in getting their young student to martial arts class only to be even more confused at their child's enthusiasm when they are actually in class. "I have to fight to get them here," or "He just wants to play with his friends," are common complaints that I hear from frustrated parents.

They find it very difficult to understand the contradiction between having to fight to get their child to class and the fact that they have so much fun when they get there.

To solve the 'mystery' and eliminate the misunderstanding we must first understand the way a child thinks and the way their brain has developed to this point in their young lives............

Plan Ahead for Holiday Eating

seems like the next few months of celebrations revolve around food. Not just any foods, but tempting, mouth-watering, high-caloric foods that are impossible to resist. Of course, with a little pre- planning, you can limit the effects these foods can have on your health and weight.

First, remember you can say 'no' to food. The food police are not going to force another helping of latkes or mashed potatoes and gravy down your throat (Aunt Myrtle is another story). Second, you can enjoy the traditional holiday foods, but moderation will play a part in staying on tract. Third, remember the scout motto and be prepared.
