the martial arts character development program
Chamberlain Studios of Self Defense™

3-Steps to a Great Kid^™ is a character development program developed by Dr. Nick Chamberlain in conjunction with top educators.  The program is designed to fill a void in children's education that many feel is often left between school, traditional sports and their home environment.  This program is the backbone of all our children's classes.

The program follows the precept that "character is demonstrated through actions".  For this reason the program is largely action or behavior based.  As the name suggests, the 3-Steps to a Great Kid^™ program includes training in three areas:

STEP  1:   Daily Tasks Worksheet.  This is a 5 week, daily worksheet that covers tasks and responsibilities in such areas as: Personal Hygiene; Academics; Martial Arts; and Home Duties, etc.  There are age specific worksheets for the different classes which can be downloaded from our members area.

STEP  2:   Character Virtue.  This consists of ongoing class discussion of a monthly character virtue and how it relates to Karate training, family and the home, school and academics, and themselves.

STEP  3:   Child Safety Topic.  There is no point in getting a great kid if you don't get to keep them.  The monthly child safety topic covers such areas as: Stranger Danger; How to Deal with Bullies; Who am I?; and The Buddy System etc.
 

The 3-Steps to a Great Kid™ program fits perfectly within the framework of a traditional martial arts curriculum and has met with rave reviews from our parents.  We think you'll agree with them, that this program offers something you won't find at your child's school or in a traditional sports program.

The monthly Daily Tasks Worksheets can be picked up from any of the dojo (school) locations or downloaded from our members area in color!

We look forward to working with you and your child to make a great kid!
