Message from the Director


Fred Messersmith Director

Dear Parents,

 

My name is Fred Messersmith and I have been teaching the Martial Arts to children just like yours for over 30 years. I have lived here in the South Bay my entire life.

 

I use the time honored value system of martial arts to support your children developing a sense of self-respect, a feeling of self-worth.
I observe and perceive that three main areas convey love and worth to our children:

 

Affirmation of their positive qualities from parents, teachers and other significant caretakers.

 

Affirmation from peers and siblings.

 

Affirmation of themselves based on their own experiences of competency and success ("I did that well." "I am good at reading." "Arithmatic is easy for me.")

 

CHILDREN VALUE THEMSELVES TO THE EXTENT THEY HAVE BEEN VALUED.

 

I look forward to working with you and children.

 

Sincerely,

 

Fred Messersmith
