Call or text 561-926-1846 - www.brkka.com Martial arts training improves focus and concentration inside the dojo and out in the -world. Students will see improvements in their schoolwork as well as in other sports and activities. So many parents these days come into the dojo saying "my child has trouble concentrating, he has no focus. " Maybe you can relate? I know I can as a parent. I knew focus and concentration would be major keys for success in whatever my kids choose to do in life. In our kenpo karate classes we show our students how to harness that laser beam focus through drills, stances and breathing exercises. If you would like your child to try a class, we offer a free 1 week trial. You don't need to buy anything. Just drop in to the next class that fits your schedule. ------------------------------------------------- "Whatever luck I had, I made. I was never a natural athlete, but I paid my dues in sweat and concentration and took the time necessary to learn karate and become world champion. Chuck Norris"

Boca Karate has provided the YMCA top martial arts instruction and continues to find ways to partner that are of benefit to both parties as well as the south Florida community. This year, in addition to an annual business partnership donation, Boca Karate is actively promoting the YMCA’s 2018 Annual Campaign to martial arts students and families both inside and outside the Boca YMCA facility.

The YMCA Boca Raton is a wonderful place for kids to give karate and kickboxing a try! There are 3 age groups ranging from 3 to 15 years old.

The core business of Boca Raton Karate & Kickboxing Academy (BRKKA) is to provide realistic self-defense instruction in both private and group settings. The BRKKA Dojo teaches traditional Tracy’s Kenpo and kickboxing under the direction of Sensei Doug Tate and wife Ms. Patty. The need for self-defense, martial arts training for both youths and adults is tremendous in this day and age for a multitude of reasons. Boca Raton Karate & Kickboxing offers programs that provide the following value and personal growth opportunities: 1. Self-Defense: This is number one reason that sparks most people’s interest in the martial arts. The martial arts teach the techniques of how to defend yourself, and as important, teach you the way to think about and prepare to defend yourself. They also help you build up the reflexes you need if you’re ever in an undesirable situation, and give you the confidence to fight back. 2. Self-Confidence: As students become more proficient in their martial arts training, their confidence gets a big-boost, becoming more self-assured and confident. The Sensei’s (Teacher’s) encouragement goes a long way to help them achieve this goal, but a strong confidence level will extend far beyond the Dojo (Martial Arts Studio). 3. Discipline: In the martial arts, there is constant repetition in drills and practices with strong emphasis on detail. There are rules and protocols to be followed. All of this teaches respect – respect for the Sensei, respect for the Dojo, respect for one another - both opponents and colleagues – and self-respect. It also teaches the benefits of frequent practice, and the skill of patience. While we agree that practice makes perfect, we enhance that statement to read – “Perfect Practice makes Perfect”. 4. Emphasis on Individual Achievement: While teamwork and sportsmanship are emphasized in most team sports, at some point most children need to be told why they aren’t a starter or why their stuck in right field. In the martial arts, each person’s success is based on his or her own individual merits and individual ambition will help achieve success. 5. Gender Equity: The martial arts are one of the few sports where both boys and girls can play together. Everyone can benefit from learning self-defense. It also gives brothers and sisters an opportunity to practice together and learn from one another as well (not to mention the convenience of having kids and parents in one place at a time). 6. Exercise: The typical martial arts class will often be comprised of warm-up calisthenics, teaching and practicing of moves and possibly some sparring. The warm up and practice comprise the bulk of the time, and for that time students will be constantly on the go – stretching, crunches, punches and kicks. The workout each student receives will not only assist in the natural development of his or her muscles, but also help them build stronger Cardio-Vascular systems. 7. Respect for Strength: As students train, they will learn to respect their newfound strength and techniques. They will also gain a disdain for bullying as well. 8. The Entire Family can Participate: Most martial arts schools offer classes for both adults and children. While most do not run those classes simultaneously, they are usually one right after the other. This means that you can watch your children workout, and then they can watch you. If you have the proper space for it, you can practice with each other at home, and learn from one another. This will give you a special activity to use as a bonding tool with your family. You can also become physically fit together as BRKKA offers family workouts multiple times every week. 9. The Never-Ending Season: The Martial Arts are a year-round affair. As mentioned above, your exercise routine remains constant the entire year. Having this consistency also helps build upon discipline, and allows students to progress very quickly. 10. Conclusion: Martial Arts provide both adults and child with an excellent physical workout, and also act as a vehicle to provide a mental and emotional outlet as well. The Peter Blum YMCA offers karate to both member and non-member families. Ask at the front desk for details and prices. Classes for beginner kids are Mondays, Wednesdays after school, and Saturday early afternoons. It’s time to get fit, have fun and learn valuable self-defense and safety skills!

You may wonder… What IS the difference is between the kickboxing offered at the local mega gym or kickboxing franchise and the kickboxing offered at our karate & kickboxing dojo? Many people ask this question and we are always happy to explain the following… In most cases, they are two different types of kickboxing with different goals in mind – aerobic or “cardio” kickboxing at the gym, and sport or self-defense kickboxing at the dojo. Both include kicking and punching which by nature give you a great cardio workout. At most gyms, this is where the kickboxing routines focus. The cardio classes at most gyms are just for that…. cardio. A good workout without any other elements. Where this typically differs at a martial arts studio and what makes it a “sports or self-defense version” is that it involves learning strategies and proper form with these movements, plus a lot of footwork, body movement and blocking abilities. At the Boca Raton Karate & Kickboxing Academy, our Kickboxing gives you the best of both. If your focus is exercise, you will definitely achieve your goal. Plus you will learn proper form and how to move your body if you ever are faced with an opponent. The self-defense aspect of karate and kickboxing is equally important. Learn how to use these kickboxing elements properly and safely. Hopefully you will never have to use them unless you choose to compete in a tournament, but it’s good to have these tools just in case… And if you’re going to use them, proper form keeps you from getting injured. You will also increase your flexibility, strength and endurance. Either way, you should always try a class or two before committing to any style or location. Find a school that allows you to experience the class so you get a feel of the instructor, the intensity of the routine and the general mood and environment, making sure it’s right for you.
