Martial Arts as a Family Affair It is something that we have always known and strongly believed in here at the Karate Institute: Family martial arts classes boost confidence, improve fitness and cement family bonds. In a recent article by the same title, Jeanette Moninger from Prevention magazine explores how the martial arts can benefit everyone from young children to adult. Moninger asserts that the sport has become very much a family affair by providing multiple benefits from helping to bully-proof kids, to sharpening focus for kids with ADHD, to empowering mothers and daughters.

Team
KIXXX competed in two separate tournaments during the
Father's Day weekend - the AKA Grand National Tournament
(NASKA) in Louisville, KY and the Erie Open (PKC) in
Erie, PA). Eighteen of the team members competed
in Louisville, including our youngest competitor,
Makenna, at 5 years old. There were many 1st
places through Finalist wins for the team members,
including Demo Team 3rd place (after KICK Team and Team
100 Percent). Jake Markuz and Austin Bolt
represented the team well as they clinched 1st places at
the National level in the PKC circuit. It was a
great weekend reconnecting with friends and competitors
on the circuit!
The
students of the Karate Institute outdid themselves as they performed for
the crowd over the weekend at the 2010 KidShow at Great Lakes Mall.
With team size of over 50 members, the demo team moved liked a well
oiled machine with power and energy that come from lots of practice and
discipline. Everyone from the Lil' Dragons to the adult karateka
brought their love for the martial arts to their performance and
projected it into the audience. We are also very lucky to have so
many talented and generous photographers in our KI families.
