My 7 year old daughter started at Prestige 6 weeks ago. After experiencing her first two years of elementary school living through covid, and all the political and race issues in the world, she had started to show signs of anxiety and depression. She was scared, angry, upset and insecure often. After a few attempts to help her, I found Prestige Martial Arts. We did the 2 week trial with nothing to lose. However, we didn’t realize how much we would gain! In just those first 2 weeks, we saw a huge improvement in her attitude, her confidence, her courage and her respect for herself and others. We decided to commit and sign her up. After the 3rd week, my daughter was asked to write a few sentences on who her hero was and why. She chose Shihan all by herself and her reason was “for making her strong.” As her mom, I will add that he not only made her “strong” but he brought peace and joy to her life, to our family’s life. Our sweet girl who was trapped with her fears and feelings all bundled up with no release was back! The best part was that she recognized it herself and was SO grateful and relieved. She felt heard and understood and was now moving in the right direction. Prestige is SO much more than karate kicks and punches. Shihan teaches these kids real life skills and helps them implement them at home, school and in the community.

He is like a therapist, life coach and co-parent all in one! 😃 My daughter responds well to his tough love and structure. We are so thankful for Prestige.

Prestige is a great place to be! My twins tried 2 Martial arts that were close to our house but we weren’t satisfied. When we stumbled upon Prestige, it was a HUGE difference than other Martial arts that we’ve tried.it’s not just about Martial arts, it’s about learning life Skills like discipline ,self esteem and many more.
With Shihan, my twins now are more confident and spread kindness in their school. I highly recommend Prestige!

Great program! It is a perfect balance between physical growth and mental growth. There are not many programs out there for your children that address the many different aspects of your child’s development. Some areas are: Endurance, Confidence, Discipline, and Responsibility to just name a few. We highly recommend this program.

My son started in Little Dragons at six years old, and has been in the kids karate program for almost one year. The improvement I’ve seen in him is tremendous - he has more confidence in taking on tough tasks and he’s able to more effectively work through failure and learn from his mistakes. He has become more positive through the life skills taught by Denny Strecker and has found opportunities to employ new skills at school as well as at home. He is also involved in the Leadership program, learning essential skills and techniques to be a leader at such a young age. His confidence with public speaking as well as his overall demeanor when talking to people - stand tall, eye contact, clear voice are improving with every session. Denny is wonderful with the kids, enforcing standards and expectations in a positive and productive manner to enable each student to grow to be successful in their future. His dedication shows in every class, email, and in all communication to the parents and kids. I highly recommend Prestige Martial Arts for any kid and their parents.

This is our first time doing Karate with our 9 year old son, and he was admittedly a bit shaky at first. He wasn't used to regular exercise, and had difficulty finishing the class without sitting down a few times for a "break". After a few weeks, under the patient and encouraging teachings of Shihan Denny Strecker, he's showing much more vigor and confidence, getting through classes so much better and really embracing the course. I highly recommend the Leadership class offered as well, as our son is showing much more initiative talking to friends and outreaching to new people, as well as setting up his own personal goals for success!

Love this program! This is NOT your typical karate program, but so much more! The kids learn life skills such as self esteem, respect, and discipline (for example, a challenge this month is for ninjas to make their bed every day). My daughter started this program shortly after turning three years old, and I have seen tremendous increases in her self-confidence, attention span, respect for teachers at school, manners, and overall behavior (in addition to physical development). Not a day goes by that her teachers don’t compliment her on her behavior, and I believe a large part of that is owed to this program. The instructor is incredibly enthusiastic and dedicated to student success. It’s not very often that you get to see someone who has truly found his “calling” in life, but I believe Shihan is one of those people.

We have been members at Prestige for about a month and couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll our child here. The owner of Prestige Troy has a wealth of knowledge to share and has created a very welcoming community. It is clear from the moment you walk in that he is truly dedicated to his craft and to helping kids reach their highest potential. Our child has already shown improvement in coordination, confidence and seems to have gained a stronger sense of personal responsibility through the program. This has also been a great source of one on one time with Dad. The virtual class option allows us to fit karate into our schedule twice a week, and he does offer a free two week trial. So If you’re on the fence about trying out the martial arts, definitely start here!

Our boys have been doing karate at Prestige since the end of 2021. Their self confidence has sky rocketed and they are over all happier kids. The structure and discipline is exactly what they needed. They look forward to karate nights and so do us parents! It has been a great family bonding experience both inside the class and out. We highly recommend Prestige to everyone!

Why Prestige Martial Arts Is the Best Martial Arts School For Your Child

May 15, 2022

Hi, welcome to our video series, “Why Prestige Martial Arts Is the Best Martial Arts School For Your Child”

My name is Shihan, and I’m the chief instructor here at Prestige Martial Arts. This was the question that was posed to us today by my coach, Mr. Horton, during our mastermind meeting. So as I was writing down answers and I came up with almost a full page of them, it suddenly dawned on me. I thought, wow, you probably don’t know any of these. But that’s not your fault. That’s my fault. So I’m going to fix that with this brand new video series that’s going to explain why Prestige Martial Arts is the best place for your child to be. So today, I want to cover the first three that came to mind right off the top of my head.

#1 – 21,000 Hours of Learning

I have over 21,000 hours of teaching experience with children. I spent 21,000 hours in the classroom working with kids over the past 30 years, and that’s given me a special eye on how to work with kids, how kids learn, and how to be best able to help them in the way that they are going to understand.

#2 – I LIVE Teaching Children

 

I do this full-time plus. There are a lot of programs that are taught maybe once or twice a week, and those are generally at community centers or maybe a church. Then most karate schools, the instructor has something else that they do during the day. And so they have a full-time job, and then they come and teach at night. Well, not me. I wake up karate. I come to teach karate. I go home and work on karate. And I go to sleep thinking about karate.

#3 – Constant and Never Ending Improvement

Being full-time plus means when I’m not teaching, I’m working on child development aspects. I’m either studying child psychology, working on the syllabus for classes and how to make them more engaging and more fun for the kids, or working on making myself a better teacher. And or maybe I’m working on the leadership team members and getting them to become better leaders. Everything I do revolves around improving the student experience here each and every day. So this isn’t just a general activity or sport. I’m studying chemistry, and I’m studying psychology and brain things like how dopamine and oxytocin and serotonin, the endorphins, and all those chemicals in your brain get kids excited. So like when they play video games, how can I bring that experience here into the karate classes? We also work on things like goal setting and public speaking, the number one fear that every American has. I work on how I could reach your child specifically, as opposed to just kind of a general system.

That’s basically like the education system. When your child goes to school, they’re expected to fit in that square and learn like a square. But what if they’re a triangle, or what if they’re a circle? I work on all three modes of learning capabilities in order to help all students excel, whether they’re a square, triangle, circle, or any other shape. You see, some kids are visual, some kids are auditory, and some kids are kinesthetic. That means that they have to actually physically move in order to learn what it is that they’re doing. It’s my responsibility to learn how each child learns and reach them in the way that’s best for them. Not to teach in one method and expect everybody to learn the way that I’m teaching. And that’s a huge difference between your local community center and or your part-time karate school.

Those are the first three reasons why Prestige Martial Arts is the best place for your child to be. Guess what? There’s a bunch more that I’ll be covering in upcoming videos. But if you’ve heard enough and you’re ready to give it a try, go to our website www.pmatroy.com and check out our amazing internet special offer. Or, if you have any questions, feel free to call the school. I’m happy to answer them. Have a great day.
