"My son's experience has been very positive, he often comes home with a sense of achievement and has shown a real interest in working to achieve his badges. We have all very much enjoyed the experience with Sirota's Alchymy and would highly recommend it."

Thanks,

As you can see, our martial arts programs teach so much more than "just kicks and punches." We help children develop life-skills that will take them far beyond the four walls of our martial art school - benefits that will last them a lifetime.

Positive Role Models Who Will Encourage Your Child to Succeed

Via various studies in USA and Canada, kids who have positive role models Succeed in Life. Yet, everyone knows that kids can't look up to professional athletes anymore - so where can they turn for positive role models?

Facilitating Self-Confidence and Self Esteem via Martial Arts Training in Vancouver and Richmond, BC, Canada Our answer to this question is our professional staff of caring instructors. We honestly believe our martial art instructors are some of the best role models your child could have.

Experience has shown us that kids respond to our martial art teachers in way that no other coach or instructor can match. Because we realize how much our students look up to us, we work hard to set a positive example for them by living the martial arts principles of honesty, integrity, courage, kindness, and self-control.

As you know, children are hard-wired to seek attention and approval. So, when kids see positive behaviors demonstrated by our instructors, they are strongly driven to display those same behaviors in their own actions.

But, it doesn't stop there - our martial art classes come with "built-in" recognition system systems that will encourage your child to be the best they can be. This "built-in" system is our belt-rank progression program. Children in our programs know they are expected to practice with virtues at our Centre, at Home and at School.

This "one-two punch" of providing inspiring role models and giving your child positive feedback works amazingly well to help children improve their behavior. To date, we know of no other extracurricular activity that provides kids with such incredible incentives for displaying positive behavior.

International Recognition

Nick Parr, Executive Director - INAS

"There are few people with a passion for their industry like MIchael. I have always been impressed with his loyalty and commitment to making lives better for persons with disability. He is truly an inspiration."

Dr. David Legg - President (past) - Canadian Paralympic Committee

"Michael is a dedicated professional ,who is committed to the development of taekwondo for all. He has developed Special needs and Para programs to create an all inclusive training environment for his students regardless of Mental or physical ability.We can learn a lot from him."

Proof That Martial Arts Training Helps Build Happier Kids

However, we don't just want you to take our word for it. In fact, there's plenty of solid research that proves martial arts training promotes better behavior and improved attitudes in school age children.

Here are just a few of the most recently published studies and articles describing the benefits of martial arts training for children:

Facilitating Self-Confidence and Self Esteem via Martial Arts Training in Vancouver and Richmond, BC, Canada A 2001 study published in the psychology journal Adolescence showed a vast improvement in good behavior and a noticeable reduction in violent behavior among children who took martial arts classes for just 90 minutes a week.

Facilitating Self-Confidence and Self Esteem via Martial Arts Training in Vancouver and Richmond, BC, Canada Another article published in Adolescence in 1998 described how martial arts programs decrease violent behavior in children and teens.

Facilitating Self-Confidence and Self Esteem via Martial Arts Training in Vancouver and Richmond, BC, Canada A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology showed that children who participated in martial art training had better behavior and higher scores on a mental math test.

Facilitating Self-Confidence and Self Esteem via Martial Arts Training in Vancouver and Richmond, BC, Canada The Magazine for Physical Therapy praised martial art training as a helpful activity for special needs children.

Facilitating Self-Confidence and Self Esteem via Martial Arts Training in Vancouver and Richmond, BC, Canada An article in the December 2002 issue of The International Journal of Contemporary Family Therapy recommended families take martial art classes because of the many positive effects martial arts training provides to family members.

As you can see, the evidence is conclusive - martial art training works! There is no other activity that has been proven to bring such a great improvement in the well-being of children. Now, just imagine what a difference our martial arts program will make in your own child's life...

"We are so grateful to Sirota's Alchymy for providing a welcoming and safe environment for our son as well as opportunities for him to challenge himself and grow. Attending classes at the Alchymy is about much more than learning Tae Kwon Do skills. It is also about developing self-confidence and determination to help him succeed in other avenues of his life. The Alchymy has also provided opportunities for students to become more socially aware of issues and needs not only in their own community but beyond as well. In addition, it is such a pleasure to see the friendships that have grown as a result of attending classes."

Liz Komar (Mother)

"I am the parent of Michael van Houten who is a very quiet, shy, autistic 15 year old. I had heard of Sirota's Alchymy several years ago and I knew that they had a Special Needs Program. Master Sirota suggested trying private lessons…the classes were excellent. As time went on, Michael was looking forward to going to every class. Master Sirota was calm! Gentle but firm and I knew that he understood Michael and was very experienced. What struck me the most was that Master Sirota talked to and taught Michael like he was a great human being and didn't assume anything about him being autistic. Thank you for your wonderful continued support Master Sirota and all the great, caring staff."
