Example script: “Martial arts beats all other forms of exercise when it comes to building your child’s self-esteem.

- Sense of Purpose Martial arts can instill a sense of purpose for a child, helping them to stay away from influences like drugs, alcohol and other bad behaviors. Help parents understand this amazing benefit and how your school helps provide it.
Example script: “Do your child’s extracurricular activities keep them from being tempted by bad influences? Hi, I’m Master (name) and at (school name) we make sure that part of the benefit your child gets from taking classes with us is a deep sense of purpose and belonging.
