Martial Artists Bring Home The Bling

The WKC World Karate & Kickboxing Championships recently took place in Orlando, Florida and four martial artists from RMA Karate Centres took part in the event as part of the Canadian national karate team.

 

Second degree black belt Tara Krale, an instructor at the Barrie karate club came home with four gold medals after competing in seven events.

 

Brown belt Shamus Berube competed in three events and for the first time in the traditional weapons division where he won a bronze medal.

 

Eden McGuire competed for the first time as part of the national team and was beaming with joy after demonstrating her Chinese Wushu forms where she won one gold and one bronze medal.

 

Third degree black belt Tressa Young, who was at the event as an official, was asked to be part of Canada’s women’s fighting team.   An unexpected call to be part of the 5 woman team but the RMA school owner was pleased to take part and came away winning bronze.

 

Junior black belt Sale Berube gave a strong performance as part of the national team among a large group of young martial artists.  Despite representing our country well, she just fell short of medaling. 

 

In total the RMA martial artists came home with 4 gold and 3 bronze medals and are ready to prepare for next year’s team trials.

Kids Specialty Programs in Barrie

Listening to the needs of parents and kids who wanted specialty programs, RMA Karate Centres is now taking registration for two new programs specific for young kids and one of these programs is offering a free first class.  Both programs running out of RMA’s Barrie south location are extremely affordable with a low fee of only $15 per month and are pay as you go with no long term commitments.

  

World Karate and Kickboxing Champion Tressa Young will be offering a free kids kickboxing class on Tuesday September 15^th. The class runs for 40 minutes (6:15pm to 6:55pm) and is for ages 7 to 12 years old.     Unlike a cardio kickboxing class kids will be kicking & punching bags and working with partners all the while having fun while getting fit.  No experience is needed and  anyone interested in continuing after the first free class can sign-up that night for a full month of lessons at only $15 pay-as-you-go.

Yoga Instructor Jessica Harvey will be instructing a girls only Yoga program for ages 8 to 17 with classes running every Tuesday 5:45pm to 6:15pm.  The girls only yoga program is open to all levels and all body types with absolutely no experience needed.  Classes start Tuesday September 15^th with registration required and fee of only $15 for a full month of lessons.

“There is a need for both of these programs and a need for these programs to be assessable to everyone at an affordable price.  The girls only Yoga makes sense and Jessica is a great role model and instructor for the girls.  She held a free trial class recently and the group of girls who took part in the yoga class just loved it.  My kids kickboxing class is an extension of my adult kickboxing class and just made sense.  We use bags, mitts, gloves and everyone loves it.  I’ve already started taking several registrations for the free class and I’m excited to teach it.  We have a good mix of both boys and girls for the kids kickboxing and I can’t wait for September 15^th “, RMA owner and instructor Tressa Young.

Young’s resume in the martial arts is extensive including winning 64 world medals (37 of which are gold) at the World Karate & Kickboxing Commission’s world championships that have been held in Europe and North America.  Young has been on the national team 10 times and continues to grow her resume that includes stunt performing and acting.

Why Kids Who Do Karate Get BETTER GRADES

RMA is unique with low student teacher ratio. Come in for your FREE trial class! Back to School Special ends soon!

Rigorous academics require discipline: A good student is one who understands that life is not a free-for-all, where they can just do what they want when they want. Good students do their homework even when their favourite show is on TV. In order to get good grades, they must complete their homework, turn it in on time, and study and prepare for tests. The trait necessary for achieving all these is discipline. Karate helps to develop this discipline because it helps students learn structure, order and most importantly, how to have self-control.

Being prepared leads to success: Much of academic success hinges on being prepared and organized. Think about it, what good is it to write the greatest essay since Charles Dickens if you leave it at home and so can’t turn it in on time? Karate teaches kids that they always need to be prepared. For example, when they’re sparring, they know they need to stay in fighting stance and stay on their bounce so they can explode into action when they need to. Kids who train in
karate carry this trait over to their school work.

Good students have to be able to focus : With all the opportunities and channels of Entertainment available to today’s kids it can get difficult to focus. But in order to cope with rigorous schoolwork, students must learn how to listen to the teachers and not get distracted by their surroundings. Karate can help your child to develop this very important character trait; focus and concentration. When in karate class, they learn to shut out distractions, whether they’re external (classmates playing around) or internal (negative thoughts and doubts).

Setting and achieving goals is critical to success: Success comes from achieving a series of smaller goals which ultimately culminates in the accomplishment of larger goals. In school, this could mean finishing an essay on time or reading a few chapters ahead of the class. In karate, it means passing a grading and earning a new belt. As a karate student, your child learns to enjoy the satisfaction of accomplishing goals and this will spur them to seek out opportunities to replicate in school and at home.

Physical activity builds cognitive functions : Researchers have discovered that physical activity levels have been positively linked to cognitive function during development in school-aged children. Besides the neurological connotations, giving kids an outlet to move their bodies can actually help them academically by improving their memory and increasing their attention span. Karate is a very physical activity so can help build cognitive functions as well as serve as an outlet to help improve memory.


Karate can be extremely useful for your children to boost their school grades if they are already “A” students. If they are having problems with school work, it can also help them by helping to develop necessary skills to become a very good student.
