Tips for Grading

As the most important Martial Arts grading of the year is looming next week, it is important to be prepared at IMC.

MARTIAL ARTS vs THE GYM

Many of us sign up to the gym with a vision of getting fit and slimming down, only to find motivation quickly drops away, and so do the results. If you have struggled to make a regular gym work for you, perhaps it is time to give Martial Arts a try. Here are a few reasons why this way of working out can actually deliver the changes you have been looking for: 1. Community The gym can more often than not be a solitary endeavour. Martial Arts is quite the opposite. Martial Artists work together to achieve their goals, to share success and encourage each other.

"I WANNA QUIT"

As a parent, these are some difficult words to hear. Martial Arts has probably been a part of your daily routine for a while and to hear that your child wants to just quit can be difficult. The truth is, 99% of the time children want to stop training for 4 main reasons, and simply addressing them at home can turn their attitude around. Why your child might want to quit Martial Arts and what to do about it? The first reason and one of the more common ones you’ll hear is that your child is “bored”. A child that is bored will often enjoy a bit of a challenge. Luckily, Martial Arts is challenging enough that we have a few options. We would recommend ....

National Anti-Bully Day Blog: How You Can Create Confident & Bullyproof Kids

As parents, there is no way you haven’t considered the possibility of peer violence or bullying happening to your children. Bullying, the undesired aggressive behaviour in school aged children about power imbalance among them, is one of the leading fears of children and parents right now. On that note, you as parents would of course want to protect your children. But you cannot be at their side 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to protect them. However, there is way in which your children can be protected from bullying and that is by means of Martial Arts training. Remember that the first level of Bully Defence is PREVENTION. This involves educating your child, acknowledging ....

The place is the bomb! great people.. they have this little person that stands at the desk and greets you, her name is maggie haha but she has a massive heart, and the place isn't a team, its a family, full of great people that love to fight and train themselves to the limit, thanks to the family down there at IMC for helping me out at my lowest and congratulating me at my highest

Michelle C.

The staff at Busby IMC are professional and friendly. Our daughter loves her classes and constantly talks about karate to all her friends and family. She recently achieved her first yellow belt and I think this is a day we will remember for a long time. Very special. We especially love the leadership programs they offer to students. The instructors are very talented and clearly have a love for the sport they teach and they inspire this in their students.
