Integrity Martial Arts Naples

Serving our community and giving back is very important to us at Integrity Martial Arts. We recently visited
Mater Bay Academy
for their Career Day. Had a wonderful time among their faculty members and students. We are thankful to be able to partner up with their teachers and talk about confidence and self defense. Together we can make a difference.

Is this what it's like when you try to get your child off of the screen???

Have you ever had to deal with tantrums.... especially in public? 😤

Just to let you know, your child most likely didn't start their day with the intention of throwing a wrench into your target trip with a good ol' fashioned meltdown.

We recently read a great article with the following tips to help you out:

Be consistent. Establish a daily routine so that your child knows what to expect. Stick to the routine as much as possible, including nap time and bedtime. A child's temper can become short if he or she doesn't have enough rest or quiet time.

Plan ahead. Run errands when your child isn't likely to be hungry or tired. If you're expecting to wait in line, pack a small toy or snack to occupy your child.

Let your child make appropriate choices. Avoid saying no to everything. To give your toddler a sense of control, let him or her make choices. "Would you like to wear your red shirt or your blue shirt?" "Would you like to eat strawberries or bananas?" "Would you like to read a book or build a tower with your blocks?"

Praise good behavior. Offer extra attention when your child behaves well. Give your child a hug or tell your child how proud you are when he or she shares or follows directions.

Avoid situations likely to trigger tantrums. Don't give your child toys that are far too advanced for him or her. If your child begs for toys or treats when you shop, steer clear of areas with these temptations. If your toddler acts up in restaurants, choose places that offer quick service.

.......

We may be biased to this next statement. 😅

As a professional martial arts Academy, we focus very highly on emotional intelligence.

If you haven't tried a class, come on down!

Let. Us. Help.

📢 Testing is coming up Friday and Saturday. Remember there are NO regular classes. If you haven't signed up yet its not too late. We can't wait to see you all SHINE!

STORY TIME 📖...
A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."

Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and ask to sell it. See how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father and said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"

Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".

The girl returns to her father and said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car and needs a lot of work done".

The father told her to seek out a passionate car club with experts and show them the car. The girl drove to the passionate car club. She returned to her father after a few hours and told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100,000 dollars because it's a rare car that is in good condition.”

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. "Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."

Know your worth and know where you are valued.

A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.

.........

In our martial arts academy, we STRIVE to teach all the young girls in our program to have a very high sense of self-worth, set healthy boundaries, and be unapologetically themselves. 🙏

The story above is a great illustration of some of the lessons that ALL young ones need to learn. This is what we mean when we say "raising Lions". Drop a heart ❤ emoji if you agree.

Testing is this Friday and Saturday!!! Have you signed up? Register on the app.

You guys have worked so hard this cycle and we can't wait to watch you all show off!! 👀👏🤗

Parents: Have any questions about your child's testing?? Feel free to reach out to us by text or email. 📲

Early on when my parents put me into martial arts, I had NO idea how much I'd be getting in return as an adult. 🙏

I've far from mastered the art of self-awareness.

That being said the small investment of time and money that my parents made have taught me:

How to be a business owner.
How to lead.
How to motivate and inspire.
How to be the director of my own life.
How to be healthy.
How to be a better parent.
How to contribute to my community.
How to provide opportunities for my team members.
How to make a positive impact on the lives around me.
How to master a craft.
How to never give up.
How to harness discipline when motivation failed.
How to learn from every mistake.
How to have my own voice.

The things I've received I can never repay... because they're priceless.

Instead, I'll just say this.

Thank. You.
