The SmartCoach Martial Arts Difference

At SmartCoach our primary focus is to utilize martial arts as a tool to instill the skills of focus, respect, discipline, confidence and goal setting needed for excellence in the classroom. Excellence in the classroom is a strong indicator for success in life. In partnership with parents, we will take an active interest in our student’s academic performance, as well as their behavior at home and at school, as part of their belt advancement. As our students succeed on the training floor and in the classroom, this will increase their self-esteem leading to a well-balanced individual. Well-balanced individuals are armored with self-esteem that protects them from the lures of drugs, alcohol and gangs to name a few. They also make the correct choices, such as, respecting their parents and family, choosing to achieve good grades at school and taking leadership initiatives. We are employing martial arts to develop leaders in the classroom and on into adult life. We are developing Leaders in Life. At SmartCoach, we truly believe that every child can succeed when provided with the proper skills and training.

SmartCoach Martial Arts Emphasis on Academic Performance

At SmartCoach, we utilize the basic tenets of the Jhoon Rhee System of Tae Kwon Do which is one of the most respected martial arts systems in the world due to its innovating approach. The Jhoon Rhee System pioneered the concept of utilizing martial arts to develop strong character and self esteem in children. In fact, the Jhoon Rhee System was first in requiring the school-aged martial arts students to achieve academic excellence in order to obtain a black belt!

In addition, SmartCoach system is designed to stimulate the brain as well as the body by employing proprietary SmartBrain™ moves designed to stimulate, oxygenate and develop the brain which empowers our martial arts students to succeed in the classroom. We also utilize SNAPSHOT™ moments to encourage our students to do their best in the classroom, at home, and in the community.

SNAPSHOT™ moments are the “ordinary” moments when the students are working hard and being themselves. We encourage parents to recognize these moments when adversity is not happening. This is to purposefully choose to energize success, as children respond best when consequences are minimal and success is rewarded with great energy. We recognize these SNAPSHOT™ moments to motivate our students to make good choices. Our martial arts students also receive all of the other benefits of traditional martial arts training, such as strength, flexibility, perseverance, character, self-defense and of course FUN!
