Kids Karate Instructor of Michigan’s Fastest-Growing Karate School Earns New Rank, Title of “Shihan”
Warren, Michigan — Mr. Denny Strecker, owner and chief instructor of Denny Strecker’s Karate School (http://www.KarateForChildren.com), considered to be one of the fastest-growing karate schools in the entire state of Michigan, has recently been recognized for his outstanding martial arts abilities by being promoted to the 5th Degree Black Belt. In addition, along with this promotion he has also earned the title of “Shihan,” which in the Japanese language means “Master Teacher”.
Mr. Strecker was given this Black Belt promotion in recognition of his outstanding efforts in fulfilling the theme “extreme fitness”. He was required to successfully complete 12 monthly fitness tests that involved high levels of cardiovascular training and endurance. As a result of this intensive training he lost 45 pounds and in the process became an example to all of the students in his school.
Mr. Strecker’s unique approach to teaching Karate is gaining increasing recognition everywhere as an innovative way to prepare children for life. “The most important thing about a karate program is how your child leaves at the end of their class, not how they felt when they came in,” according to Strecker.
Strecker has spent a number of months recently improving the curriculum (taught in his kids karate classes in Warren) to help his students become better citizens in the community. According to him, “Children often suffer from a lack of self-confidence and are sometimes afraid to speak up and raise their hand in school. This can seriously impact their academic performance. These kids often suffer in a circle of negative self-esteem, which simply generates more and more of the same negative emotions and attitudes.”
“I am excited about being promoted to 5th Degree Black Belt,” said Strecker, “but it pleases me even more to see our program working and impacting the lives – and families – of so many kids. Every day we see the proof in terms of increased self-confidence, higher levels of self-esteem and greater focus and concentration. Parents tell us that their kids listening skills have improved, as well as their ability to set and achieve important goals. We’ve even seen some kids begin to blossom as real leaders, who once were very shy and retiring.”
Commenting further, Strecker was quoted as saying, “The moms and dads who bring their kids to our martial arts classes in Warren are just thrilled to see all these changes taking place. The kids, of course, think these classes are cool, but there’s more to it than that — it is also the training that parents need and want for their children. They want it for their kids because they know that, at every step along the way, we will be there, helping to support and reinforce their core family values, and the skills necessary to succeed in life.”
With over 18 years experience, Denny Strecker provides benefit-driven karate for kids in Warren, Michigan that build Black belts from the “inside out,” with an emphasis on character development, concentration, goal-setting, self-confidence and self-esteem. An emphasis on values and personal development is emphasized at all levels. Class sizes are kept intentionally small, so as to allow for greater student-instructor interaction. Classes are also held for adults.

News Blackout is Best
I was talking to some of my adult students before a class last week and they asked me, “Did you read about ______ in the paper?” The blank is for 2 reasons. First, I don’t remember what event they were asking me about and second, I don’t read the paper. In fact, I don’t watch the news either. The students just looked at me in shock. They did not believe me.
I have found that the news is just about all negative and all that negative thinking eats away at your soul. Watch or listen to enough and your attitude becomes negative and a negative attitude never accomplishes anything – except being miserable.
I read this great article by Dan Kennedy that explains this better than I could so I have included it below for you to enjoy.
Should You Pay Attention? by Dan Kennedy
Very Good News: You can finally, completely stop worrying about Al Gore’s global warming. We are all destined to die of something else instead.
A front page headline on USA TODAY read: 90% of the ocean’s edible species may be gone by 2048, study finds
Having North Korea, Iraq, Iran, etc. isn’t enough. They have to devote half their front page to scaring us about the potential scarcity of Mrs. Paul’s fish sticks forty-two years from now.
Since I will either be dead or eating mush, this matters little to me. For many of you, though, it’s permission to cease all worry about global warming. The lack of crab cakes will kill you first. Hooray!
It might interest the boneheads behind this survey and those reporting on it as fatalistic gospel at USA TODAY that I have, in my files, news reports of academic studies projecting the end of seafood by the year 1967… ..the melting of the polar ice caps and drowning of us all by 1959… ..and, well, you get the idea.
Scientists, psychics, cult leaders, politicians and ignorant, irresponsible journalists have frequently predicted the end of life as we know it – via over-population (a scare popular in the 60′s), under-population, starvation and famine, flood, asteroid attack, the earth veering from its axis, killer bees, or – the latest – mad cow disease, etc. – and they have all been wrong.
Eventually ONE will get to say “See, I Told You So.” But this is a charlatan’s game, and nothing more. For some, it gets taxpayer monies to support all manner of silly research. For others, it sells books or newspapers. It’s hard to tell Stanford’s much hyped ‘doom research’ from the plot of an old Star Trek episode. One is no more credible than the other.
Why should you pay attention to any of this? That’s the point – you shouldn’t. In fact, you should be pretty rigorous about NOT paying attention to anything that doesn’t advance you toward your goals, enhance your important skills, or inspire and motivate you to be your best self and achieve your greatest ambitions. Unless it is your hobby, be that golf, football, gardening, or ulcer assured, politics.
All else ought be filtered out. Blocked. Ignored. Just because USA TODAY feels compelled to fill its front page with silly, decidedly unscientific drivel, with scary stuff about the future-without-fish, does NOT mean you must swallow it.
I even choose most of my pure entertainment with some purpose, to extract from it some useful ideas or content or examples, in addition to being amused or entertained. I don’t need distractions provided by silly soothsayers looking 40 to 400 years into the future.
I’m perfectly capable of manufacturing sufficient distractions of my own! Success requires FOCUS. You have to guard the gates of your mind. You have to ask: what will I gain by paying attention to this?
