It's amazing but true...
(learn the same lessons that I have - with this special FREE offer! Read on!)

Im here to tell you, in more ways than you can begin to imagine.
My name is Sascha Williams. Im the owner of one of the most successful martial arts schools in California. Fresno Kenpo Karate" here in Fresno, as well as Williams Kenpo Karate in Madera and in Los Banos, collectively called "Mile High Karate".
For over 20 years , Ive been nurturing children like yours with character
building tools found only in karate. No other sport can match them. In the next few pages, Im 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:

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 Karate 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 Karate. (I should know, remember, I have been teaching for over 20 years.)
But don't take my word for it...

"Emily has been taking Kenpo for just over a year with Professor Williams and in that time she has gained more confidence in herself and has learned how to better focus. Emily has brought all of her grades up and earned a place on the honor roll. Also, very year her school competes with three other schools in track and field competitions. This year was the ten-year anniversary and Emily won several ribbons and the trophy for Most Outstanding Female Athlete. The trophy has NEVER BEFORE been awarded to ANY student at Emilys school in the history of these game! Emily is an intelligent girl and a good athlete but Kenpo gave her the self-control and the stamina she needed for these achievements. We appreciate everything the Mr. Williams and his staff has instilled in Emily and look forward to many more years of learning with Kenpo."
Robert Montanez and Lisa Coleman, Proud Parents.

"My name is Michael Anderson, Im 37 years old. Im a Video Editor for Channel 24, Ive currently been in Karate for a year and a half. My son has been in it a little bit longer. Hes 9 years old. I put my son in first because he was having a lot of problems paying attention in class. His classroom behavior was very disruptive. He wasnt respecting the teacher. He was getting out of his seat a lot. He was off task.
Since hes been in Karate theres been a drastic improvement. I used to get almost weekly phone calls from either the principal, vice-principal or the
teacher. Since about 3 to 6 months into Karate, that totally stopped. We have not had a phone call home in the last year, and his classroom behavior has
dramatically improved. There have been virtually no problems with him in class."

Now, you may be asking, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does Karate manage to do a better job teaching it?
Again, more than any other sport, Karate 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.

Courage: Your child finds the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself to take on more difficult Karate 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 Karate). 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 Karate class you get at the YMCA or your local Health club!
This program has been meticulously developed over the last 15 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 Karate and Martial Arts to children!
The goal of this project was to mainly do one thing:
Develop your childs 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:

I" noticed a change in the way my son starts to act around other people, hes a lot more assertive and a lot more humble, but also able to express what his feelings are with total respect and consideration for people that are around him. Ive noticed a behavioral change at home, the way he respects his parents, his grandparents and elders he comes across. Im really happy with the way hes matured."
Charlie Frausto, Police Sergeant, 21 years

Weve been very happy with the results. He started out bouncing off the walls and making Mr. Williams pretty crazy. Over time Phineas really began to gain not only a physical balance, but also a mental balance. Hes come a long way, and weve seen that not only in class, but weve seen it as he progressed in school, in his kindergarten class, we see it at home! We are able to sit down and say focus, and hell focus on things, its nice to see that progression, hes come a long way here. His coordination has also improved. Hes more agile than he has been. Weve really enjoyed the benefits of the class.
Ara Ahzderian, Dad of Phineas Nelson

It looks just like Karate class.
Although this is a Karate 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 Fresno Kenpo Karate/Mile High Karate is a member of both NAPMA and MAIA, in the greater Fresno/Clovis/Madera/Los Banos area.

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])
Aside from classes for Adults, we offer two different programs for children:
1. Twice per week afternoon or evening Karate classes
2. After School Transported Karate Classes (we pick up your child from school)
Go directly to the Fresno/Clovis After School Transported Karate and Martial Arts Web Site.
We also host Summer camps, Birthday parties, School Talks, and occasional After School Programs at selected Elementary Schools

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)

There is no expensive equipment to buy upfront!
Eventually, you will have to invest in some safety equipment (between $100.00 to $150.00), but that's usually not until after a few months of classes, once you know that your child is committed.
There are no oriental religions taught at our facility!
We do not get involved with religion whatsoever, that is not our role.
We will continue to motivate your child even after he or she enrolls in the program.
Once your child earns the White Belt (that only takes about one week), it is time to prepare for the Yellow Belt (usually 3 months). It is also time to start thinking about whether you want your child to qualify for the Master's Club, or the Leadership Team.
Qualifying for one of these teams means that your child will be able to eventually train for Black Belt and beyond!

($49.00 value) I'm offering you two 15 minute private lessons, with a consultation and a FREE White Belt Test for your child (with no strings attached). See for yourself if, in fact, I can give your child the powerful benefits promised in this letter. During these lessons your child will have an opportunity to build a closer relationship with the instructor and we will have an opportunity to answer any and all questions that you may have about our program.
FREE Student-Parent Conference
Before or during the introductory program we will meet one on one to discuss your child's needs and your child's progress. We will educate you regarding our program and help you understand the developmental process for your child. We will give you tips on how to reinforce your child's development and share with you his progress.
And if you call today (559-325-3434), you also receive:
FREE Official Fresno Kenpo Karate/Mile High Karate Uniform ($50.00 value) After your child's second visit to the Karate school your child will receive an official Karate uniform that is theirs to keep - no charge!

1. Pick up the phone and call 1-559-325-3434, We'll answer any additional questions that you may have and schedule a special time with our head instructor to work with you and your child.

Please act quickly because these classes fill up fast - and, we are committed to maintaining a small student-teacher ratio in our beginner's classes.

Don't worry! It is consistently stressed to all students that Karate skills require them never to be abusive or offensive and are only for use defensively. After a short period of time students become markedly less aggressive while maintaining confidence and high personal self-esteem.
Thank you for your time and we hope to meet you at our school.
