Griffin Martial Arts
Welcome to Griffin Martial Arts.
We have developed a special program to provide you with the following benefits:
Our emphasis is on establishing discipline and courtesy in each student. The structure of respect is built in martial arts instruction.
The program builds confidence and character by providing each student with control over his or her body, and developing an ability to stand up to peer pressure and other intimidating situations.
The movements of martial arts develop coordination and increase strength and flexibility, which are very important throughout your lifetime.
The awarding of higher levels of sashes or belts can give you a sense of achievement and accomplishment. We keep this very much in mind. Because the length of time for achieving belts can be from 3 to 6 months, we award stripes on the sashes or belts as you progress between levels. Training for these gradings, and passing them, enhances an individual’s ability to concentrate, as well as plan for a triumph over learning hurdles. This is an excellent reinforcement of study techniques for tasks you may need to do.
The foundation of martial arts is its self-defense value. We are very careful to teach everyone that martial arts are not to be used outside the martial arts class in any manner other than in true self-defense. The result is a self-confident person who does not need to be a “bully” or to “show off” to others.
Finally, Martial arts are good clean fun for children and adults of all ages, and a great way to burn off extra energy and to reduce stress.
If you have any questions, feel free to talk to an instructor. We believe strongly in the value of our program for all ages – everyone can gain much benefit from martial arts for the rest of their lives.
Sincerely,
Lester Griffin
