  • The Story Behind Monster Hunt

    The Story Behind Monster Hunt

    Why Monster Hunt? We are gearing up for our most popular holiday event of the year, our Halloween Monster Hunt, and I thought I’d share the inspiration behind its concept. When I was a kid, my school hosted a haunted house in the gym. Filled with enthusiastic teenagers in scary costumes, they would leap out of dark corners to frighten children who were brave enough to enter. I was one of those brave children. And then I wasn’t. After a particularly effective scare, little 7-year old me ran out of the gym in tears. It was an experience I never forgot. Fast forward 20 years and filled with a level of confidence that only martial arts can give a person, I decided to ....

It does not suggest that you allow your kids to take control. You can try a few ways to make them listen to you. You can give your children some control within ....

  • A Positive Approach to Teaching Your Children Good Manners

    A Positive Approach to Teaching Your Children Good Manners

    Good manners are hard to teach. Children don't automatically learn them. And too often, parents attempt to teach good manners by punishing their children when they don't comply with directions or expectations. Some parents even go as far as to ignore their children. This approach, however, only serves to harm the relationship the child has with his parents. Besides, negative reinforcement doesn't work well with most children. It tends to make them want to test the boundaries their parents and teachers give to see what they can get away with before getting punished again. If, however, parents take a positive approach to teaching good manners to their children, they should find ....

  • The Surprising Truth about Losing Weight After 40

    The Surprising Truth about Losing Weight After 40

    As you grow older, it often becomes more difficult to manage your weight. However, the reasons may be different than you think. A recent study challenges the conventional wisdom about metabolism across the lifespan. Rather than slowing down in middle age, human metabolism seems to remain stable from 20 to 60. That’s according to a groundbreaking study at Duke University. That means you could be wasting time and money on expensive supplements and magic foods that claim to help you burn more calories. Try these suggestions, instead, for taking weight off and keeping it off after 40. Increasing Muscle Mass While your metabolism may remain strong for decades, your muscle ....

    How to Teach Your Child the Value of Self-Discipline

    Learning self-discipline is one of the most important benefits for children when they become a student at Wushu Central Martial Arts Academy. As a parent, there is much you can do to help!
