Dear Parent,

I don’t blame you. You’re thinking, “come on …how can Martial Arts and
martial arts teach wholesome values - and, success skills?” Well,
I’m here to tell you, in more ways than you can begin to imagine.
My name is David Dow. I’m the owner of one of the most successful martial arts schools in Manhattan Beach California. “L.A. Budo Mile High Martial Arts".
For over 26 years, Mile High Martial Arts hase been nurturing children like yours with character building tools found only in Martial Arts. No other sport can match them. In the next few pages, I’m going to tell you how you and your child can sample all of this, and more. Free of Charge!!

Watch as your child increases in confidence, energy and spirit. Stand and be dazzled as he becomes unstoppable in his quest for...

Greater academic achievement. Unshakable self respect. Increased strength and fitness, in both body and mind.

And all of it comes while learning how to "kick, block, and punch." Look at it this way. Your child's first and biggest challenge comes not from "fighting for his rights on the street," or "beating up the neighborhood bully." It comes, instead, from battling more sinister forces. Your child's own fears and self doubts:

"I'm not as smart as Frank."
"I don't get what my teacher is saying."
"I wish I was as [strong, pretty, tall] as Mary."
"Why does Jose keep giving me a bad time?"
"Why can't I be as popular as Steffi?"

The question is, how do you get your child to fight these demons? You know the problem. Your child has a tough time even telling you she's haunted by them. Never mind how she might conquer them.

Well, the good news is, I have a proven solution. A program that has already worked for over 10,000 children. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you think.

Let me tell you it's secret:

To repeat, Martial Arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting...himself. His innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within himself a powerful, unstoppable force.

A force that gives him the strength to kick down the doors of his own self doubt, A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values.

In other words, when your child uses the discipline of Martial Arts to conquer his fears, he has power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know of no other sport that does this better than Martial Arts. (I should know, remember, I have been teaching for over 20 years.)

But don't take my word for it...

"When my son was nine and a half years old, I brought him to LA Budo. As I told Sensei, I was looking for someone to give my son to for a long time. Zachary has been in training with David Dow for over five years. Just this month, he became the first minor to earn a black belt. For five years, Sensei trained my son. When Zachary arrived, he was unfocused and lacked confidence. I have watched as my son became lightening fast, sharply focused while his body grew strong and lean. More important, I saw a tremendous growth in self confidence and self esteem as he mastered increasingly difficult maneuvers. As a parent, I am confidant that he can defend himself anywhere. Perhaps the most valuable lessons Sensei teaches are moral in nature. I have heard the youngest children reciting these words at the end of every class, rules by which to live: “I only hit pads and bullies hard, I only use Budo to defend myself. I will be a bright light and make a difference in this world.” My son, now fifteen, has never been in a fight. My son is unafraid. He has compassion for others, and self respect for himself. As a parent, I would urge you, whether you have a son or daughter, to give them the gift of this experience. They will grow in discipline, focus, self defense and self confidence. My best to all of you."/p>

Mary L. Hughes, Proud Mother of a Black Belt

Now, you may be asking, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does Martial Arts manage to do a better job teaching it?

Again, more than any other sport, Martial Arts gives your child the chance to explore her innate powers. She'll marvel (as you will) as she increases in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start.

In fact, her physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of her value skills, mental and spiritual. And not cut off from her physical skills, but intimately connected - even bonded to them.

Like this:

Courage: Your child finds the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself to take on more difficult Martial Arts moves and skills. He becomes no longer afraid of being afraid.

As he does so, he learns that whatever he sows, so he reaps. He learns to blame no one but himself. He suddenly sees his life as a constant, never ending journey of life-giving improvement.

In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He puts an arm lock on his own destiny.

Staying power: Your child finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can walk farther, run longer, practice skills until she gets them right.

In turn, she learns not to give up. She sticks things out. With the help of her teachers, she strives harder, longer to reach her goals. Even if she fails she perseveres. She won't let her self doubts get in the way of finding ultimate solutions.

"Where performance is measured, performance improves." Yet your child has to first accept where he stands now. That means measuring current strengths. Above all, he learns that to succeed, he can't fool anyone, especially himself.

This results in a keener focus. He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and not just in Martial Arts). He pays greater attention to what each teacher says. He knows and accepts where he stands.

These are just three of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from our program. In short, you can look forward to your child developing:

Powerful Self Control: She'll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. She'll have deeper respect for rules.
Improved Focus: She'll learn what's needed, along with the skill to "zero in" on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won't get in her way.
Fearless Self Confidence: Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer.

Towering Role-Model Teachers: As you might guess, all of this couldn't have happened unless I had the very best teachers staff. To make sure I have the very best, each of them have years of experience in my system and have been thoroughly trained in teaching skills. Today, they are all martial arts experts. Genuine Black Belts, in fact. Many have won awards for their teaching and physical skills.

This is not the kind of basic Martial Arts class you get at the YMCA or your local Health club!

This program has been meticulously developed over the last 26 years by the most successful black belt instructors throughout the United States and Europe (and has been approved by the National Association of Professional Martial Artist “NAPMA”, as well as the Martial Arts Industry Association "MAIA"). Here in California alone, we have spent over $25,000.00 on implementing, testing & tracking results of this new, unique method of teaching the benefits of Martial Arts and Martial Arts to children!

The goal of this project was to mainly do one thing:

Develop your child’s confidence, respect, focus, and self discipline!

By now, this very new program has been delivered and repeatedly tested on over 4500 students throughout the USA during the last 19 months. Here are the results we are after:

Average Increase of Focus = 76%-245% (measured by two factors, 1. Time span of concentration maintenance, 2. Ability to maintain focus under given distraction scenarios)

Average Increase of Self Confidence = 125% to 285% (measured by student's willingness to participate in challenging and fear inducing tasks before and after 6 week course)

Average Increase in Self Discipline = 68% to 189% (measured by student's total number of specific self correcting items)

If this sounds to good to be true, look at what parents of our own students are saying about this program:

"For nearly two years my daughter has been enrolled at the L.A. Budo in the Panther Kub program. When she started, she was about 3½ and the youngest child in class. Through the guidance of Sensei David Dow and Nidan Sophia Dow and the help of her fellow students, my daughter was welcomed into class with kindness, sensitivity and the support of a structure a child her age could learn from and grow with. To that end, she has excelled in the following areas:
? Listening, concentration and focus
? Physical coordination, flexibility and stamina
? Stranger Danger and Environment Sensitivity
? Introduction to Japanese culture, language and customs
Now, as she starts kindergarten, these skills have manifest themselves in her academic/language immersion class and her social interaction with other children - both at home and at school. She is outgoing and polite in class and on the playground. She loves to learn new things and engages that process with enthusiasm, focus and discipline.
I would highly recommend the Panther Kubs program to any parent/caretaker who wants to expose their child to an environment that is both fun and intent on introducing the child to an activity, both mental and physical, that will bear fruit for many years to come."

-Andre Bustanoby Visual Effects Supervisor Brain Zoo

“Alexander has been in LA Budo for almost two years and everyday he learns from his class with David Dow. Before we entered him in Martial Arts Alexander lack focus and mostly wondered around in his own little world, being the only child it was very difficult for him to make friends or go up to children his own age, instead he would find it easier to play with kids that were two to three years younger. Now Alexander is more focus, able to interact with kids his own age or older. I just had parent conference at school and his teacher was amazed on how focus he is and how following directions is not a problem with him any longer, she also mentioned that he is very helpful, sweet and is always there to help a class mate. I know all of his changes has to do with him being in L.A. Budo, at first I thought he would get tired of being in the class, but he enjoys the hour there, not just for the kids that he as befriended but the activities that they learn, all lessons are games to them but at the end of the class they all go home with a a valuable lesson and a new Martial Arts move. We are all very happy with Alexander taking this class as an art instead of just another sport, he loves it more now that both of my sisters have their girls there too and enjoy the same or more than Alexande .”
Carol Munoz, Mother of a 7 yr old Yellow Belt

It looks just like Martial Arts class.

Although this is a Martial Arts based program, keep in mind that all classes have to be taught in very specific sequences in order to get the above results. As of this time only Manhattan Beach Muay Thai Martial Arts/Mile High Martial Arts is a member of both NAPMA and MAIA, in the greater Manhattan Beach/Los Angeles/Madera/Los Banos area.

Sequence Matters

This study has also demonstrated very clearly, that the order in which specific challenges are introduced are vital in order to keep the end result "reliable, consistent, and repeatable". (For example, stressing focus related challenges before calisthenics does not yield the results of focus related challenges after calisthenics [78% reduction in repeatable results])

It's very easy to start!

In order to find out if this is the right thing for your child, we make it very easy for you. We usually start any new child with a FREE "White Belt Test" (but beware that we have limited space and room, so we often have a waiting list).

This gives us a chance to evaluate your child's needs, and it gives you a chance to see how your child will respond to us. We will work on motivating your child and gauging his/her enthusiasm and attitude.

If your child responds positively to our program (we have about a 85-90% success rate during the first meeting), we will let him or her know how to earn his or her White Belt. This is a great opportunity for you observe the first few changes you child might exhibit at home. (At this time, they usually do)

"...it has given Ben more confidence on
the playground and in life. He tends to be an
intellectual kind of a kid, so he gets picked on at
school..."

Dr. Brenda Latham

"I've been studying Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu now since October and I have to say that it has made a big difference in my life. I've found that I'm more confidant in my day to day interactions with people than I was before, I can hold my head high, and just generally feel good about myself. I highly recommend studying martial arts at L.A. Budo. Everyone that I have encountered and trained with at this dojo are very easy to get along with. It has very relaxed and easy atmosphere. Plus there are no bad attitudes and all of the training partners are great with helping out new students with learning and understanding the material as well as the philosophy behind studying martial arts. Out of all the dojos I visited in the South Bay, and I went to more than a few, L.A. Budo in my opinion is the best. David Dow Sensei is a fantastic Instructor and I wouldn't think of studying with anyone else. Thank you for all of wisdom and patience."

Mike Gragg, Adult Student

"I learn something new EVERY class and cannot wait for the next one." - Rick Stevens, 39 Owner of the Stripe Shop

"This is a great place for kids to train in martial arts. The instructor is great and the times and location are good. The price is reasonable and the ratio of instructors to kids is also very good. Our son loves LA Budo."

Tiffany Rodriguez, volleyball player and Mother of 7 year old yellow belt

"Quality instruction, no egos, and realistic, effective training make L.A. Budo my only choice for serious martial arts training at any level."

William Ferguson

“I trained at LA BUDO for two years. I moved out of state, but if I hadn't I would have stayed there for my whole martial arts training and instructional experience.
This Dojo has a very comfortable / supportive environment that helps new students achive their martial arts goals."

Diddier Murillo Muay Thai Student

"Joining L.A. Budo is one of the best decisions I've made. It's been a great honor to train here. I've only been training a short time, and already I have learned a great deal about myself, both physically, mentally, and spiritually. Budo Taijutsu is not only a highly effective and efficient fighting art, it's also teaching me to discipline my mind, which is essential in all aspects of life. Dow Sensei is a great instructor, and I couldn't have imagined better training partners. It's truly an enlightening experience."

Ryan Castle, 25
