Sityodtong LA Proudly Presents the Opening of "Kid Power Martial Arts"

Pasadena, CA, July 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- #1 The first step to helping your child overcome shyness is not to label them as being "shy". Building a child's self esteem means setting them up to succeed.

#2 Socialization with their peers is vital. Involving your child in martial arts will help him/her to achieve individual success while developing a sense of accomplishment.

#3 Healthy competition should be encouraged to help children reach attainable goals while learning teamwork and sportsmanship.

Saturday, July 25th is the Launch Party for Pasadena’s Kid Power Martial Arts - Empowering Kids for Life - A unique children’s (ages 3–13 yrs) martial arts learning center with an emphasis on Leadership Training and Character Development. The research based age-specific martial arts curriculum includes focus, positive motivation, confidence building, fitness, bully avoidance, coordination, discipline, merit badge recognition and so much more.

Studies show that having an age-specific program not only increases a child’s learning curve, it successfully prepares them for all areas of development including physical, emotional, intellectual and social interaction. Children have a great time training and learn more than just kicking and punching. They become confident and enthusiastic, better students at school and better listeners at home. The curriculum at Kid Power Martial Arts is deeply rooted in tradition integrated with progressive and innovative teaching methods and philosophies. The commitment of the instructors is to help children achieve their best through the martial arts.

Legendary martial arts instructor and film star Chuck Norris said, “I was a shy kid who was very, very non athletic, and never played sports. Then I became involved in the Martial Arts and ended up making a modicum amount of success in the movie world. Martial Arts will help you develop the inner strength and self-worth necessary to achieve the goals you set for yourself in life.”

The Launch Party is from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm. The demonstrations begin at noon, refreshments will be provided along with balloons for the kids. For more information call (626) 577-7900
