It's amazing, but true . . .

(See for yourself. Bring your child to two FREE classes.)

Dear Fellow Parent,

I don't blame you. You're thinking, "Come on . . . how can karate and martial arts teach wholesome values?" Well, I'm here to tell you, in more ways than you can even begin to imagine.

My name is Denny Strecker. I'm also the owner (or so I'm told) of the fastest growing martial arts school in Michigan, "Denny Strecker's Karate" -- right here in Warren.

For over 14 years, I've been nurturing children like yours with character building tools found only in karate. No other sport can match them. In the next few pages, I'm going to tell you how you and your child can sample all of this, and more. All at no charge.

Watch as your child increases in confidence, energy and spirit. Stand and be dazzled as he becomes unstoppable in his quest for...

Greater academic achievement

Unshakable self respect

Increased strength and fitness, in both body and mind

And all of it comes from learning how to "kick, block and punch." Still, you're wondering if this will work for your child. I understand.

"I'm not as smart as John."

"I don't get what my teacher is saying."

"I wish I was as [strong, pretty, tall] as Sally."

"Why does Jim keep giving me a bad time?"

"Why can't I be as popular as Jill?"

Question is, how do you get your child to fight these demons? You know the problem. Your child has a tough time even telling you she's haunted by them. Never mind how she might conquer them.

Well, the good news is, I have a proven solution. A program that has already worked for over 1,000 Metro Detroit children. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you think. I call it "Kids With Kick." Let me tell you its secret.

To repeat, martial arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting. . . himself. His innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within himself a powerful, unstoppable force.

A force that gives him the strength to kick down the doors of his own self doubts. A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values.

In other words, when your child uses the discipline of karate to conquer his fears, he has the power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know of no other sport that does this better than karate. (I should know. Remember, I've been teaching it for over 14 years.)

But don't take my word for it. . .

	“I am so very impressed with the Denny Strecker's Karate. It is definitely for the entire family and we feel at home here. I would say that is the best compliment of all, everyone wants to have a comfort level of their own home. Mrs. Andrea is a Fantastic teacher that is very in tune with the children. My son loves her, looks up to her and respects her. And everyone is willing to help in anyway they can, with Karate, Home and School. Denny Strecker's Karate has covered everything most important in a childs life and development. Thank you for everything!” - Tammy Rezny (Parent of Brandon Rezny) “We started our program about six months ago, and being in the education field, I have learned so much from this program even just by watching it. Joshua has grown tremendously. His focus has improved and he looks forward to coming to class… even if he has a bad day at school he wants to come to karate. I would highly recommend this class.” – Melanie Rainwater (Educator/Parent of Josh Rainwater) “Sensei is an excellent resource person. He has a great ability and willingness to help both students and parents. He works well with the students and has the ability to motivate them. He provides a positive environment for the students to learn and feel good about themselves and their accomplishments.” - Debbie Calvert (Parent of Justin Calvert) “I soon decided that one of my children was certain to benefit from involvement at Denny Strecker's Karate. I appreciated the way in which participation involved the teaching of life skills combined with the personal challenge posed to every student, to be rewarded based on individual effort and perseverance.” - Jackie Raxter (Mental Health Therapist. Parent of Olivia and Spencer Raxter)

 

Now, you may be asking, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does karate manage to do a better job teaching it?

Again, more than any other sport, karate gives your child the chance to explore her innate powers. She'll marvel (as you will) as she increases in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet, this is only the start.

In fact, her physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of her value skills, mental and spiritual. And not cut off from her physical skills, but intimately connected -- even bonded -- to them.

Like this:

COURAGE. Your child finds the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself to take on more difficult karate moves and skills. He becomes no longer afraid of being afraid. As he does so, he learns that whatever he sows, so he reaps. He learns to blame no one but himself. He suddenly sees his life as a constant, never-ending journey of life-giving improvement.

In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He puts an arm lock on his own destiny.

STAYING POWER. Your child finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can walk farther, run longer, and practice skills until she gets them right.

In turn, she learns not to give up. She sticks things out. With the help of her teachers, she strives harder, longer to reach her goals. Even if she fails, she preserves her self-respect. She won't let her self doubts get in the way of finding ultimate solutions.

HONESTY. As the man said, "Where performance is measured, performance improves." Yet, your child has to first accept where he stands now. That means measuring current strengths. Above all, he learns that to succeed, he can't fool anyone, especially himself.

This results in a keener focus. He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and not just in karate). He pays greater attention to what each teacher says. He knows and accepts where he stands. These are just three of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from the "Kids With Kick" program. In short, you can look forward to your child developing. . .

• Powerful self control. She'll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. She'll have a deeper respect for rules.
  
• Improved focus. She'll learn what's needed, along with the skill to "zero in" on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won't get in her way.
  
• Fearless self confidence. Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer.

Towering role-model teachers. As you might guess, all of this couldn't have happened unless I had the very best of teachers. To make sure I have the very best, each of them started as white-belt beginners, right here in my school.

Today, they are all martial arts experts -- advanced black-belts, in fact.

	“One of the benefits of Denny Strecker's Karate...is the fact that it influenced Daniel’s behavior. He started to realize that he feels good when he does a good deed to somebody and his self-esteem is better than ever. Daniel learned to be generous with his sister and other kids and wants to help us in every way he can. I would definitively recommend this program to any parent.” - Gabriela Ban (Parent of Daniel Ban)

Now, I still know what you're thinking: "How can I know for sure the `Kids With Kick' program will work for my child? Will learning to `kick, block, and punch' really work for her?" I've made it very easy for you to find out. . .

FREE LESSONS. (A $29.00 value.) I'm offering you two 30-minute lessons -- for FREE. (With no strings attached.) See for yourself if, in fact, I can give your child the powerful benefits promised in this letter.

Here's how it works: Watch with your own eyes as your child gets coached by a top karate teacher . . .

Class One. Your child begins by learning the profound influence of the martial arts "bow." Then watch him as he:

• Warms to the idea of emotional respect, both for himself and others.

• Gains power from the "Six Points of Body Balance."

• Connects with the "Three Skills of Listening."

Then glow as you hear him recite the first principle of the Student Creed: "I intend to develop myself in a positive manner, and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health."

Class Two. More bows. Then watch as your child:

• Gains super confidence with the "Three Self-Defense Techniques Every
  Child Should Know."
  

Finally, stand and cheer as your child learns another Student Creed: "I intend to develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others."

Believe me. Just with these two short lessons, your child will come away with her self confidence greatly improved. Not just in how she feels. She'll actually end up with real "life skills." Skills that she can put to powerful use right now, today.

All while enjoying the fun and excitement of an upbeat martial arts program. And it's all FREE! You have absolutely no risk.

P.S. All this talk of values may have mislead you. Be assured, I do teach karate as everyone likes to think of it. Your child will end up knowing how to protect herself. She'll know how to avoid danger, how to use conflict resolution techniques -- but without once throwing a kick, block, or punch!
