Erin Wiseman-Parkin
We've been taking lessons for quite a while now as a family at KarateBuiltGR. 2 adults, and 2 kids. Both kids have special needs. One has CP and uses hearing aids. There are also other special needs kids that attend, and everyone receives exactly the challenge they need for their ability. Is this place only for families? Absolutely not! They accommodate everyone from classes for a single child, for a single adult, for couples, and even for full families! Mr. and Mrs. Flees and their children are GREAT INSTRUCTORS. It is magical to see Mrs. Flees transition to the children's Tiger class and funny voices and her sincere connections with the itty bitty kids to the adult black belt and leadership classes where she brings it 100%. Our 4 and 6 yr old always feel challenged, as do my Hubby and myself!!!!!! The Flees' children are also wonderfully talented instructors who have also worked very hard for their black belts and work hard in class daily in teaching, and in their own classes where they continue to hone their skills. Mr. Flees has a great way of connecting to students and families with being funny and wise all at the same time. They whole family has a spirit and energy that is necessary for learning and training. Is this cheap? Nope. It is a SOLID INVESTMENT in your future & your children's future. I am LOVING seeing the growth for my children, but also for my Hubby and myself as we practice and work hard towards earning black belts as a FAMILY !!! My children's attitudes have changed, as have mine. We have started saying, "Yes, Sir" and "Yes, Ma'am" all the time, and the respect we all show for one another has increased, too. If you are looking for a place that has instructors and family that sincerely CARE, this is a great place to be.

KIDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS OBESE
Children need our support. We work hand in hand with parents to ensure our students make the right choices. At KarateBuilt Grand Rapids we work with each student one on one with support when needed.
Focus & Concentration
Concentration is like a muscle that needs regular exercise to grow stronger. Martial arts provides kids with strategies that help improve their ability to focus and maintain their attention. Schoolwork requires students to be able to concentrate for extended periods of time. Participating in Jiu-Jitsu requires even more concentration. This ability to concentrate and sustain attention is crucially important. As students learn and improve, they will grow life skills such as self-confidence and positive self-esteem.
Enhanced Self-Control & Self-Discipline
Almost all young children are naturally impulsive. How do you teach a child to deal with this impulsive behavior? – Self-discipline. A child who has self-control and self-discipline has a huge advantage in dealing with life’s challenges.
So many problems can be avoided when a person has self-control. Martial arts is the perfect solution to help teach students self-control and self-discipline.
Better School Grades
Martial arts training and educational training share a very important goal: to inspire attitudes and actions that turn students into motivated, confident, capable, and self-reliant leaders. In school, high test scores are rewarded with good grades. Martial artists develop skills and traits needed to meet diverse challenges, such as studying to earn good grades. Just a few more are discipline, self-control, self-esteem, self-worth, courtesy, and respect for others.
