Karate School in Troy Alters the Course of Boy's Life
Confidence and tools learned from Denny Strecker's Karate classes has helped a boy improve grades and stand up to bullies
TROY, Mich., Dec. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Adolescents struggling in school and falling prey to bullies are regularly lost in the shuffle as they try to survive the teen years and break into adulthood. Concerned parents often feel powerless to inspire their self-conscious teens to believe in themselves. One Michigan teen, Jesse, found inspiration in martial arts training at Denny Strecker's Karate and has changed the course of his entire life while earning a black belt.
Unfortunately, Jesse's story of struggle is a common one. Before he began taking Karate instruction, his grades in school were poor, he was overweight, and he often encountered bullying. However, Jesse dedicated himself to learning the discipline of martial arts, earning a black belt on November 22, and overcame his adolescent challenges.
"Jesse started taking classes because he was not doing well in school and was being bullied," said Chief Instructor Denny Strecker. "Now I can't imagine anyone picking on him, because he has the self-confidence to stand up for himself and the tools from martial arts – including verbal self-defense – to tell bullies to leave him and his friends alone."
Strecker's kids' martial arts classes in Troy teach more than just Karate form. They teach discipline, defense and confidence – character qualities that extend beyond the dojo and throughout a student's lifetime. Parents often remark that their children experience increased focus and concentration, improved patience, greater self-discipline, better physical fitness and stamina, and soaring levels of confidence.
