Academy of Martial Arts Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net The first one that comes to my mind is a guy named Mike Krivka at Martial Arts Koncepts. Check his website at http://martialartskoncepts.com/ He's a good guy and a good martial artist. I don't think he's the only one in the area but he's the first that comes to my mind because I've met him personally and worked out with him a couple of times.

Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Jared, Happy to know that you're in high spirits with your kid's performance. Just remember kids from ages 2 to 12 are like "sponges". Everything you say to them, teach them and demonstrate what you feel it's good for them - they will absorb it without knowing. I've done it many times with my daughter when she was 2 or 3 years old (though not always MA) and she can do things on her own. My next step, is my 2 years and 11 month old son. Though boys are different from girls but I'll try diverse approach that suits his standards. He's picking up words like - sticks, yelling "kiya" (picked up from my daughter) and few low kicks - which I didn't expect that from him at his age. Just like you said, the legacy of your art will live through them if we keep them educated in small ways. Yours in the Arts, Clint "When you paint a dragon, you paint his scales, not his bones; when you see a man, you see his face, not his heart." ----Confucius (Lun Yu)--- Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 08:41:04 -0700 From: Jared Dame To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [Eskrima] Observations from the Philippines Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Well I broke down and enrolled her in a Karate style at the local rec center and I have to say that she has been bugging me to work with the sticks and other empty hand techniques more then she has ever asked before. In fact what we now do is on the days she does not go to class I tell her if she is interested in learning then she needs to change into her kimono and come into the basement when I am training and I will give her little lessons. Its been almost a week now and everytime I go down to train she follows on her own without me telling her that I am going down to train! Also whoever told me about the mongol approach it works! My daughter likes lord of the rings so she is in the habit of slaying the orcs with her magic sticks now in the basement. Gotta tell everyone that this was one of my dreams to have my kids follow in the same passion that I have on their own accord. Thanks for the advise.

I had told them that I should not return until the morning and had given them explicit orders not to stir from the house. These orders were sufficient, I well knew, to insure their immediate disappearance , one and all, as soon as my back was turned." >Within a couple minutes one of 'em >will be along looking to hang out with dad. Sounds about right. Teaching kids somedays is like pushing rope - best just to let them reel it in on their own terms. Kids are such natural mimics that just being in the training environment will sink in to them. The house rules we used were: weapons stay in the kwoon, and no hitting your uncles with a weapon unless they're armed too. Used to be that they would walk up to an adult with two sticks and hand one over. The inexperienced would say "aw, isn't that cute?", while the rest of us would be saying "better take the stick and start blocking." >Anyone have any experience with kids using their training >inappropriately? Though we cover when it is and isn't appropriate to >use force against another, and though the issue has yet to arise, I'm >always a little concerned I'll get a "your kid just choked out a >playmate" call. I'm expecting some of those calls too.

Maybe. Google, you'll find 'em. I think there's a school in Capital Heights, at least one group training in Columbia, and probably some more folks around. Not a lot of organized FMA in the DC area, but it's around. Good luck! ND -- Andrew Maddox, madsox squiggle radix point net DC-area martial artist?
