Rita, age 11, used to be confidentready to take on the world. But after starting middle school, she seems like a different person: hesitant and unsure of herself.
The peace of the household is frequently disturbed. Everything is a battle: getting ready for school; dinnertime; homework; even things that used to be enjoyable family activities are now potential battles. Screaming matches occur on a regular basis.
Paula is so concerned about being popular. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, worry that this will make her an easy target for negative peer pressure.
Simon used to enjoy playing outside, but has now settled into a couch potato lifestyle. He is putting on weight and seems to be increasingly hooked on junk food.
Martin, bright, smart, and formerly very interested in doing well, has succumbed to the mentality that, somehow, its not cool to try hard with his school work.
Mr. and Mrs. Hall are frustrated at the level of disrespect demonstrated by their children. The kids never used to talk like this before! The Halls think, If I had talked like that when I was a kid — I would have gotten clobbered!
It seems that Hartley always gravitates toward the bad crowd. He is attracted to kids that dont do well in school and are constantly in trouble.
Grace is concerned about her son, Alex. Since the divorce, he doesnt have a positive male role model. Alex is often sullen and difficult to get along with.

Jennys confidence has grown tremendously since earning her Green Belt. Mrs. Phillips, her teacher, has just called to say that Jenny can now stand up in front of the class in school and confidently speak. Mom and Dad are shocked and surprised.
Not only has Luke gotten into great physical shapehis athletic skill has improved enormously. Luke seems to have a newfound love of being outdoors, playing, and running.
Lonnie, formerly terrified of moving outside his comfort zone, now eagerly takes on new challenges. As his confidence grows, he moves on to the next challenge with excitement. His parents, Janet and Ernest, credit the high energy, positive environment of “Mike Storms Karate.”
Stuart has become more cheerful and helpful around the house. He enjoys family activitiesjust like he used to when he was younger. His mother, Beverly, reports that he is now a joy to be around.
Mom was delighted when, after the neighborhood bar-b-que, Mrs. Taylor from down the street commented, “Your son Justin is such a well mannered young boy!”
Lucy said, “Mom, the kids were saying mean things to me at school today.” Mom thinks, “Oh no, here we go again.” — and says, Well, how did you handle it?” Mom breathes a sigh of relief when Lucy says, “Its no big deal. Their words cant hurt me. I learned that in Karate class!”
Trent, formerly quite a slob, now seems to be taking pride in his appearance. Without being asked, somehow his hair is combed, his shirt is clean, his teeth are brushed. And, not always, but at least occasionally, his bedroom seems to be picked up and clean! Just as Trent is proud of his Martial Art accomplishments, he also seems to take pride in other aspects of his life!

Introducing the Mike Storms Karate Ten Point Success System
1. Positive Role Models: The biggest asset of Mike Storms Karate? Easy. The teachers. Now, Ill tell you up front. They are not like the teachers youve seen in the Martial Art movies. Are they tough guys? Yes. But what you will notice (and so will your child)is that they are Nice Guys. They have been hand selectednot just because they are great Martial Artists. They have been chosen because they are wonderful peopleand have a great love of helping others benefit from the Martial Arts! All of our teachers were once students at Mike Storms Karate themselves. They care about each student individually — and are totally committed to helping your child reach his or her potential.
2. Physical Fitness: Its hard to feel good about yourself when you are out of shape physicallyor when your athletic skills have not been fully developed. Our belief is that, regardless of how athletic somebody seems to bethere is an athlete inside all of us. When a student feels their physical skills skyrocketits not long before their self-image follows suit!
3. A High Energy, Exciting Environment: Many kids have grown accustomed to virtual activities (video games, television, internet). Participating in an exciting, high energy environment, focused on an actual activity, will give your child a very real sense of achievement!
4. Regular Incentives for Effort and Achievement: The belt system of Martial Arts (your child will earn a new belt every three months: white, yellow, gold, orange, green, etc.), regular positive feedback and recognition of accomplishment, incentives for improvement, applause, smiles, and high-fives will systematically lead your child into the Yes, I Can! attitude youve always wanted for him or her.
5. The Message of the Week: Regular exposure, through our Message of the Week, to systematic instruction, accompanied by exercises in the lessons of respect, discipline, focus, persistence, courage, discipline and confidence. (Most of the Mike Storms Karate parents name this as their favorite part of the program!)
6. A Proven System of Skill Development: No fancy theories or hard to understand concepts here. Our teachers are experts in teaching the actual SKILLS of listening and focus. Hint: Well be teaching these to your child in the very first week!
7. A Series of Positively Constructed Challenges that will build your childs confidence. You will be delighted as you see your children confidently move outside their comfort zone. As the weeks go by, you will smile with pride as your son or daughter moves from challenge to challengetheir confidence soaring at each new accomplishment!
8. An Atmosphere of Respect: You watch with satisfaction as your children learn to give respect and to earn respect. Most importantly, they learn the essential lessons of Self-Respect!
9. Order and Structure: Even though the atmosphere is friendly and supportive, Karate is not play time. You will be delighted to see how your children develop focus and persistence in our orderly, structured environment.
10. A Friendship Based Environment: If you are expecting the old, harsh, authoritarian, military style Martial Art trainingyou are going to be sadly disappointed. When you visit us, you will find a friendly, supportive environment. Some of the teachers and long time students have been friends for nearly 30 years. That atmosphere of friendship, support, and respect will give your
child the support he or she needs to succeed!
