WHAT'S THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR CHILD?...

CONFIDENCE!

A confident kid is UNSTOPPABLE!


Do you realize that Martial Arts is 10 times better than Team Sports in developing a child’s self esteem and confidence? Our program can and WILL help your child increase their confidence, self- esteem, discipline, While teaching them life skills that will last them a lifetime and much more. (Let me explain why you MUST come see our program for yourself, it will be the best thing that you'll ever do for your child.)

Children who attend Blue Dragon School of Martial Arts are destined to succeed in life because we teach them about goals, self-esteem, discipline and persistence at an early age. More importantly, the traits children learn in our unique program will pay off for the rest of their lives!

"I love the Blue Dragon School program. In just a short time I see the development of confidence and a sense of mastery. Andrew loves to practice and 'show off' his moves. The principles of the Blue Dragon School - Wisdom - Sincerity - Benevolence - Bravery, and the lessons of kindness and respect are a wonderful reinforcement of what we try to teach at home. Thank you Blue Dragon School."
Andria Merlo Cometa

Dear Parent:

Every parent wants the best for their child, but how do you prepare them for all the challenges that they face in today's world? How do you teach them the motivation, discipline and proper attitude necessary for success? It's not an easy task because this type of education is not found in our schools. It's not found on our soccer or little league fields. It's not even found in our community organizations and that's really a shame. In fact, it's a crime because teaching children the basic traits like goal setting, motivation and self-esteem, at a young age, can have a massive impact on what that child accomplishes later in life.

Our Program Can Change Your Child's Life!

You're probably wondering, how? How could one activity have such an impact on my child? Well, it's incredible, but true. Kung Fu is not a sport, it's more of a discipline; one that positively impacts all areas of life. Kung Fu can be enjoyed throughout a lifetime, but can also improve your quality of life!

Our Shaolin Kung Fu Program will arm your child with a host of positive mental and physical skills that will help him in school, at home and in life.

Even if your child is involved in sports, it may not be enough. Recent studies show that programs like ours that focus on personal achievement are vastly more effective than team sports!

In our program, we don't believe in just teaching children to punch and kick. We work to help build your child’s character. During classes, you'll see your child’s energy, confidence and spirit rise while she becomes strong and confident. We're not just talking about physical strength -- but the kind of strength it takes to resist peer pressure and other negative aspects of life.

You'll see a new kind of discipline emerging . . . the kind that will positively affect all areas of her life. You'll notice an increased respect for others, and most importantly, for herself. The result? A powerful mind/body connection that makes her unstoppable in life! She will learn to succeed!

Let me tell you about...

9-year-old Christopher Geller: When his parents first brought Chris in for classes, when he was 5 years old, it was quite a challenge to get him involved. You see, Chris was very, very shy. When his parents would try to leave, Chris would cry and cry. They had a very hard time leaving him and nearly decided not to enroll him. However, they realized that a lack of exposure to outside activities and with other children would work against their child and so they decided it was worth the effort to get him involved.

Recently, Chris was having trouble with a bully in school. Every day this bully, who was bigger and stronger, would instigate Chris by calling him names or making fun of him. Eventually, the bully escalated his actions into pushing and shoving Chris. To Chris, there was no apparent reason for these actions against him. One day while in physical education class this bully took things a step further and approached Chris even more aggressively. Chris was trying to talk to the bully and asked, "Why are you doing this?" but the bully kept coming at him. Well, Chris has now been training with us for a few years. He naturally reacted with some evasive movements. The bully became frustrated that he could not get to Chris and then tried to grab him by the throat, Chris just reacted with a straight kick (the bully's arms were longer that Chris' so kicking allowed a longer reach). Chris' balance and stability was apparent to the bully as he lost his balance. He immediately backed off and Chris has had much less trouble with him since.

Chris' parents are so proud of him...and so are we!

Don't take my word for it... read what some of our parent's have to say:

"Lauren enjoys her class very much. Almost every morning she asks ‘is today Kung Fu Day?’"
Joan Tournoux

"Since training at the Blue Dragon School, Christian has gone from being very quiet to a more confident and outgoing young boy."
Linda Schroen


Our unique programs here at the Blue Dragon School of Martial Arts are founded on our motto of: Wisdom; Benevolence; Sincerity; Bravery.

By teaching children about "Wisdom", they learn to make the right choices. They learn that they must give thoughts to their actions and realize that there are positive or negative results from any action. When children learn this they begin to make more of the right choices for themselves rather than just reacting by emotions. They begin to realize that their choices determine their future.

By teaching children about "Benevolence", they learn to help others and they learn respect. They learn that we are all unique individuals and we have our differences and that it is important to accept these differences. They learn not to judge others and to treat others as they would like to be treated. They learn that others' wants and needs are just as important as their own.

By teaching children about "Sincerity", they learn to be honest. They learn the importance of not only being honest with others, but also with themselves. They learn that their results are determined by their efforts. Children learn that they are responsible for themselves and what they do. They learn not to blame others when things don't go their way.

By teaching children about "Bravery", they learn that it is okay to be afraid. They also learn to face their fears and that is how they will improve themselves. When a child learns to overcome their fears they become unstoppable. A child with the courage to try new things, even when afraid, develops the power to accomplish anything in life.

Here's what people are saying about
Blue Dragon School of Martial Arts, in Bergenfield:

"I especially enjoy the family atmosphere created by the Chief Instructor and the other instructors with the rest of the students. Everyone makes you feel very comfortable. I'm the type of person that likes to reach and accomplish goals and the way the school is now there is plenty to strive for. It's never ending!"
Suzanne Moschetto, 38, Program Director

"It's quite a benefit to bring training – body and mind – into my entire life. Practice doesn't stop when I leave here."
Steve Deitmer, 54, Editor

"I've found so much more than I could have imagined training at this school. I have come to understand things and see things as I didn't before. I've found this place and it's teachings to be and invaluable resource for learning about life."
Paul Harris, 25, Web Developer

"Martial arts has many aspects besides self defense that can improve your life and make you a better person."
Michael Wilson, 44, Teaneck Fire Fighter

"Becoming a Blue Dragon School of Martial Arts student has helped improve my ability to do my job as well as just helped me be calmer and more peaceful. I don't react at all anymore to the many stressful situations I can encounter dealing with clients."
Jeanne Crevina, 49, Certified Shorthand Reporter

"I feel that Blue Dragon School of Martial Arts changed my life in many positive ways. I only regret that I did not start sooner."

Cecile Delannes, 35, Fine Food Importer

"I just enjoy learning, relaxing, and having fun by seeing my progress. What can I say? I've been a member for over 7 years!"
Robert Kravitz, 34, Englewood

"My experiences at the Blue Dragon School have been very positive. Besides improving overall health it has also increased my ability to concentrate and focus on issues."
Joe Puzino, 43, Saddle Brook

"I am most interested in physical exercise, maintaining my health, and developing a high level of skill in a martial art. I think the Blue Dragon School is wonderful. I am so fortunate to have found a form of martial art and a teacher that fit my beliefs and desires."
Richard Crittenden, 65, Teaneck

"I enjoy the exercise and the challenge it holds for me every class. I can see the results I’make when I practice hard. It not only makes me feel good physically but also makes me feel better about myself, gives me higher self esteem and more confidence. I also feel safer on the streets. I can tell how much more confidence I have because of the job I just got. I was able to ask for what I wanted and got it! I know it has a lot to with my training because I never did that before! What I have learned has taught me how to work with others and to be more open-minded towards different personalities. I think all the students here are great and it's a very positive place to be."
Nicolle Ahles, 35, Teaneck

"I like everything in here. I'm getting better coordination and more efficient with my body movements. I'm also learning how to keep a relaxed condition in life."
Vitaliy Gomelskiy, 48, Fair Lawn

"Probably the most important aspect for me is also the most difficult - mental discipline. Overcoming the mental obstacles in terms of practicing regularly and even changing certain undesirable habits, clears the path for any sort of accomplishments. Slowly but surely it seems to be working though. What I have learned has changed my views on my own lifestyle, including diet and well-being. It can, actually has shown me the possibility of living in balance, not just thinking it. Although I haven't quite established the mental discipline to excel completely, I truly feel that my experience here has changed me profoundly. It's been an amazing experience which I hope continues for a long time!"
Matthew Fellner, 29, Paramus

"What I've learned has improved my confidence in striving to achieve that which at first may seem distant and challenging. It has also improved my focus and concentration in other areas. It can definitely improve my health and my personality. It teaches me to accept failure as an opportunity for growth. I get a kind of 'family' feel from the teachers and students at the Blue Dragon School. There are no 'egos' to deal with. There are also outside events that allow me to get to know my fellow students and teachers on a more personal level. I feel that Shifu Ahles really wants to show his students how to improve as human beings in mind, body and spirit; not only as fighters."
Mark Beckenbach, 29, Teaneck
