Master Berry and School Presentations for both Private & Public Schools

Since 1985 Master Berry has been working with children in schools and for all grades. Master Berry started working with schools over 20 years ago in the Clark County School District which is located in Southern Nevada. Clark County School District is the Nations 6th largest with over 230,000 students. Master Berry has spoken at over 100 schools during his 23 year career in changing children’s lives in a positive way through martial art philosophies. Master Berry has been on the Clark County Public Schools speaking list since 1990 to address such topics as; Self Confidence, Discipline, Focus for better grades, Oriental Culture Week, Dare Program and his newest program Kidz’ N Power. Kidz’ N Power is a national program geared toward teaching kids what to do when the bad guy or bully approaches.

In today's world students receive training at school regarding bus safety, fire safety and bike safety. Children also get safety information at school on things from sun to bad weather. Unfortunately, I believe it has come time to instill in children the need to be cautious in regards to strangers. This program from ATA has made an impact on my students. I feel it has made a real difference in the way they would react to a stranger, especially on how near they would allow a stranger.

Thanks again,

Conroe ISD

Master Berry has relocated his family to the Woodlands/Spring area in the fall of 2006. Master Berry has been to over 20 schools in the Conroe ISD and several schools in the Klein ISD School District. Master Berry has partnered himself with the South Montgomery County YMCA Programs to volunteer to teach the above mentioned topics. Master Berry has been to many church groups and day care centers again to get the message across to children that they should believe in themselves and what to do when danger comes near. Master Berry made a commitment many years ago to serve the community and protect the most important thing in our lives, our children.

Master Berry can speak to a small group of 10 kids and has spoken to more than 1,000 kids at one time on numerous occasions. Master Berry insists that this is way of giving back to the community and does not charge for his public speaking. Master Berry will dramatically increase awareness in many different topics. Mrs. Shelby McDowell (Director of Physical Education) at Barbara Bush Elementary stated she could not believe how structured and disciplined the children were because of the way Master Berry instructed. Mrs. McDowell has encouraged many other PE teachers to take Master Berry up on his free seminars. You may contact Mrs. McDowell at smcdowell@conroeisd.net for further questions. If you are interested please send Master Berry a direct email to karate@texata.com to get his seminar scheduled as he does book up this free workshop early.

Thanks again,

The Top 5 Reasons To Provide Your Employees With Martial Arts Training at your Company or School

1. Improve productivity:

It is a fact! Healthy people are more productive than unhealthy people. The martial arts at ATA Martial Arts of The Woodlands/Spring is the perfect activity because it blends an equal balance of physical conditioning as well as mental conditioning. Not only does Taekwondo utilize all muscles in the body, but the drills challenge the employee's mind resulting in heightened focus and concentration—both of which have a deep impact on a worker’s productivity.

2. Give your employees the ability of self-defense:

ATA Martial Arts of The Woodlands/Spring teaches two types of self-defense. First, you will learn how to use your arms and legs to generate an amazing amount of power. Learning how to properly utilize your strength, agility, and power is a key component of our program. Next, your company staff will also learn a great deal about preventative self-defense. Through our program you will become more aware of your surroundings and will also learn how to carry yourself and appear less like an easy target—information that your employees need to know!

3. Improve employee morale:

In today’s workplace employee morale is at an all-time low. Worker’s deal with downsizing, “right-sizing”, benefit cuts, and an unstable work environment. Employers that are dedicated to retaining the talent in their companies must provide employees with reasons to want to stay. Because the average student takes 3 years to earn a black-belt in karate, this program can be another reason for your employees to stay at your company. Not only does the employee benefit from the training in the martial arts, but they become happier, more productive, and more loyal!

4. Improve relationships within your company:

Our classes are taught in a group setting where the only hierarchy that exists is one of belt rank. It is possible (and highly likely) that the CEO of your company won’t be the highest ranking student. By breaking the typical structure your employees will have the opportunity to take class and learn together—an amazing method of improving staff relations at all levels in your company!

5. Get employees to WANT to come to work:

In addition to all of the great benefits of martial arts training this is something they will look forward to—they will want to come to work. Not only will workers call in sick less frequently, but they will feel better, have increased self-discipline, and become more productive.
