We all know the economy is tight and we all know we have to work together to get it all right again. In the mean time many people are having to make decisions on where to put their hard earned money. Many take away hobbies and sports things and extra activity things our kids do. What I want to say to everyone is PLEASE try not to take them out of something that is more then a Hobby or a sport. This place helps all of our student base with friendship and warmth of being a part of something that is special. More then just an activity. The school for many years has helped your children and others in many ways other then conditioning and self defense. One of my instructors and I were talking the other night and we both came to the conclusion. It seems every time one of our teens leaves us they end up getting in trouble or straying off the path whether it be in confidence or in no further goal setting characteristics. This place gives them a family who will help them and be beside them at the school or away. Think about it before your kids or yourself came. Maybe you or they were not in shape or confidence was down or goal setting was never there or self defense was needed. We have seen kids grow in leaps and bounds bettering themselves as well as go from a follower to a leader in short periods of time once they joined the school. We see kids get up in front of HARD judging and speak out and show their physical moves with so much pressure to overcome. We see kids start to teach and take charge and show leadership skills.

 

We have seen kids humbled and also go from no confidence in self defense to being one of our strongest members. We have seen kids help eachother when one is down and one is hurt. We have watched kids go from 6years oldto National Kickboxing Champion not only in their teens but once they were adults. We have watched over 2,000 kids grow from week to week. There is so much more that this school provides for everyone besides a full workout facility and great conditioning programs as well as some of the BEST COACHES in the Country!!!! These are facts, look at how highly ranked our CSK Kickboxing Team is from around the Country. Ranked by most all opinion polls in the Top 10.... The thing that I (WE) are trying to get across is before you decide this economy is pushing some change in your life, please look back to the first day yourself or child came to our school. I am sure it has been well worth it for you and your kids. My soon to be (son or daughter) will live in this school. I know what it has done for not only all the students we have seen over the years, but for what it has done for me. It changed my life in a good way for ever and I want it to do the same for my kids!!!!

Sincerely Craig Smith

One parents response:


Craig,

As you know, we do not always see eye to eye about some things, but I have come to understand that everything always works out for the best and the kids always seem to come out stronger and have more confidence than ever. When I brought my kids to you they both seemed to lack confidence, but now I doubt anyone will ever be able to take that away from them. They walk taller, act better, get better grades! I am very thankful for all that you, Jim, Nelson, Tony, Kent, Jeff, Ed, Mike D. and of course Mr. Bill have done to give my children all of this. We have most definitely made great friends and we do feel like we are with family when we walk in the building. I do appreciate all that you have done for our family. You and your instructors and I can not forget Lila....ROCK!!!

Thanks Again,

Tami

A Students response:
Hi Craig

Long time no see. I just wanted to touch base with u after reading this email. I have been watching the gym still from a far I guess u can say reading the email and all the achievements the school is still doing. u guys r great. when I read this one though I felt I just had to respond. U said "It seems every time one of our teens leaves us they end up getting in trouble or straying off the path whether it be in confidence or in no further goal setting characteristics." I hope u continue to stress this in your gym through out your years as an instructor. I came to u to get myself out of trouble and I still to this day feel if I would have came sooner I would never have got that DUI. I loved kickboxing so much and until I got it taken from me I didn't even realize it. I would go to the bar every night and get up for work so tired the the next day then kickboxing became more important and that changed it. I would be the one staying home so I could get up for Saturday practice. Staying home on a Friday NIGHT!!!! ME!!! Thank You!!

And now why I left your gym.... I didn't get in more trouble so that's a relief. But my epilepsy has gotten out of control. I don't know if u remember when I left me saying my neurologist was going to do more test and I had to lay of kickboxing for awhile but he has now decided I may be a candidate for brain surgery. I just wanted to thank u again for your time u spent with me verses being in a bar or at a party, plus the exercise and getting me in shape. Also thank u for instilling this is others. I felt u may be happy to no u had a positive impression on a student that left your gym and didn't get in trouble after leaving. Since I left I never drink anymore, I don't smoke, am now living with boyfriend (just not ready to get married with all the medical stuff going on), and still go to a gym to stay in shape, (just can't get hit in head). Thank you. Thanks for the confidence, discipline to do training on my own, teaching me how to define myself, and teaching fighting techniques. My brain may not always work like it should but what u tough me will always be with me. lol

Thanks again and Good Luck to the Team,
Heidi
