2009 / 2010 School Year

Register your kids now for the 2009 / 2010 Martial Arts After School Program Our innovative Martial Arts After school program blends two important programs into one. We are dedicated to the scholastic achievement of our martial arts students. We stress an A average and reward achievers.

Students arrive from school and immediately start their homework assignments. All students have between 1 hour to 1 ½ hours to complete their work. After homework is done their agendas are checked before they participate in Karate class. Students get one Martial arts class every day.

Instead of leaving your child home alone and unsupervised. Enroll your child in an after school program that teaches; Discipline, courtesy, self-control, integrity, respect, perseverance, and self defense.

At XS Martial Arts Dojo we work with parents and teachers to encourage children to be the best they can be. This program includes:

Pick up at local schools
Homework assistance
Martial arts class every day

2009 Hurricane Preparedness

Preparing for a Hurricane

It is important to mentally prepare yourself and your family for a storm. Take these steps to reduce the anxiety that is associated with hurricane season:

Create a Family Plan — Being prepared can help reduce anxiety before a storm, as well as reduce chaos during and afterward.

Stay Informed — Pay attention to the current hurricane information, including warnings for your area. Awareness of up-to-date information will help you gain a sense of some control over the situation.

Talk It Out — Share your fears with family members, friends, a counselor, or other people for support, if you feel the need.

Accept What You Can't Control — Nobody can control the path of a hurricane or the damage it leaves. Prepare as well as possible; create an evacuation plan; and compile hurricane kits. And understand that dwelling on the notion that a hurricane may hit will not change anything except your emotional well-being.
