Since
our inception, parents have continually thanked us
for our work to improve both the physical and mental
well-being of Richmond’s youth. Our specially
designed fitness, character development and martial
arts programs help children chart a path to happy,
healthy, self-assured adults.
CEK helps children develop their physical
strength, flexibility and coordination. Research
shows that increased physical activity can
improve a child’s academic, emotional and social
development. We also help students overcome any
obstacle, such as peer pressure or low
self-esteem. Students achieve confidence,
self-discipline and pride in themselves -
character traits needed to bring out an
individual's best.
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
recommend that children engage in at least sixty
minutes of physical activity each day. Increasing
physical activity is important to combat childhood
obesity. Our children's fitness, character
development and martial arts programs help to
improve a child’s overall health.
Competitive Edge Karate offers a beginner program
for children ages 5 to 11 that allows them to train
in a martial arts class two to three times per week
for 50 minutes each session. This becomes very
important because many school systems are cutting
back on PE programs. More than 20% of schools do not
require students to take any physical education at
all. While, currently, only 3.8% of elementary, 7.9%
of middle, and 2.1% of high schools provide enough
daily physical education to meet these federal
guidelines.
The Competitive Edge Karate Teaching Method
The CEK teaching method is a clear, compelling, principles-driven parenting system - taught through the martial arts.
This program is a method for success that can be applied to all areas of life through technical development and proper execution of karate skills. These skills are taught by trained professionals in a safe "falling forward" environment.
Students must feel pride of accomplishment and realize their dreams through the success that they achieve. Happiness comes from pursuing and achieving one's long term, worthwhile goals!
Parents cannot expect CEK to do the work without their involvement. At Competitive Edge Karate, we want your child to be successful in everything he or she does. However, that cannot happen without a plan.
The CEK method provides the necessary road map to help your children reach their goal. It also helps the entire family develop a better method for consistency, discipline, and achievement. Everyone benefits and everyone is a part of the excitement.
