Benefits of Training in the Dark?

We cater to Kids and Adults.

Kids want flashy fun stuff (Adults want that too) and Adults need to learn a skill and increase their confidence (Kids want that too).

Solution: Glow in the Dark Nunchaku Seminar.

The event was held at our Kanata Kung-Fu School.

If you're a parent, you know that sometimes to get your kids to do something it has to be exciting and unique, enough to get their interest and attention going. If something isn't, their attention span will "Fizzle" away.

Enter the "Glow in the Dark Nunchaku Seminar".


You couldn't get these kids out of our outside training barricade even if you tried dragging them.

Everyone of them was focused and eager to learn the different twirls and chambers taught in this seminar.

Now add the Glow chuks and you got some serious flash going on, making each and every move look that much faster, crisper and razor sharp.

Also, for adults or myself for that matter, I enjoy training in the dark.

It's a habit I've been undertaking for quite some time now.

Practice Sword, Bo Staff, Sticks and Conditioning exercises (Such as Squats, Balance & Footwork Drills) in the dark will lead to enhanced sensitivity and awareness. Instead of "seeing" mistakes in your form you'll actually "feel" them which in turn will make you absorb the technique on a deeper level.

Try it and let me know how it feels. Always use common sense when attempting to do this.

The look on a child's face just when they've learned a new move and actually gets it, priceless. Their self-esteem bumps up 150%. That's what kids need, a place where they can learn in a positive disciplined environment and actually do cool stuff they can tell their friends about.

Being a father of three myself, it's not always easy to find activities for them. You kinda find yourself always doing the same things. Which can be at times, boring.

That's why our Martial Arts program is so popular. It's different. You break the monotony when you come to class. You never know what you're gonna do or learn.

It's also something you can do with the whole family.

I think Martial Arts should be voted the #1 Sport in the world. The whole family can participate, the competition is with yourself, you learn personal protection, you stay in top physical shape, and learn life skills that will stay with you and your family for life.


It doesn't get much better than that.

By the way double click on the picture to the right to open it to full size and look at the kid's faces after the seminar and tell me if you think they had fun.

Until next time,
