Chamberlain Studios™ After School Karate Program

3 Steps to a Great Kid™

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

 The Best Kids Program...Just Got Even Better!!

Our after school Karate program is offered in two formats.  The first is a six week introductory class that meets one day a week for an hour.  This is to introduce students to the martial arts and the benefits of training in a fun and safe environment with the convenience of an after school timetable. 

The second is an ongoing, school year Karate program offering all the benefits of continued training 1-2 times per week.  If you would like to have one of our programs offered at your school, contact us at 214-351-5367 and discuss with us how we can help to make great kids!

DISD - Esperanza "Hope" Medrano Elementary School

The after school program at Medrano Elementary school is an ongoing class offered during the regular DISD school year.  This program is part of President Bush's "No Child Left Behind Act".   We are excited to partner with DISD in this program.  More...

Class size is limited and eligibility is based on regular attendance, completion of the 3 Steps to a Great Kid™ program, grades and the student's behavior in and outside of the class.

A Karate uniform and belt is required for training and can be purchased from the instructor.

This ongoing class uses the full 3 Steps to a Great Kid™ program and not the shortened version shown below.

How Does The Program Work?

3-Steps to a Great Kid™ is a martial arts character development program designed by Dr. Nick Chamberlain in conjunction with top educators.  The program follows the precept that "character is demonstrated through your actions".  For this reason the program is largely action or behavior based.  As the name suggests, the 3-Steps to a Great Kid™ program uses training in three areas, all done within the framework of a traditional martial arts program.  It is modified and condensed here for our 6 week after school program.  

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.  The 3 Steps to a Great Kid™ information and monthly worksheets are now downloadable from the MEMBERS area of our website in Adobe PDF format!  This makes it easier for many of our families to obtain information on a consistent basis.  If you prefer, the sheets are still available from your instructors at the different locations.  You can get the USERNAME and PASSWORD from the handout materials or the class instructor.

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 goal of the six week 3-Steps to a Great Kid™ After School Program is for the kids to have fun, learn some martial arts, and earn as many stripes on their new Karate belts as they can!
