Dear Parent,

Did you know that martial arts training is ten times better than little league team sports in developing a child's motor skills, self-confidence and self-esteem? Our specially designed Academic Karate Program will help your child dramatically increase his self-confidence, self-esteem, self-control, improve his powers of concentration, teach him valuable self-defense and develop life skills that will last him a lifetime.

Right now you're probably asking yourself "How can Karate teach my child all these things?" Well, I am here to tell you that Academic Karate Program CAN do all this and MUCH more for your child than you can even begin to imagine.

My name is Sandor Urban and I am the head instructor of Academic Karate Programs located right between the beautiful cities of Coral Gables and West Miami. For over 15 years I have been nurturing children just like yours with the incredible character building tools that can only be found in the martial arts.
Happy, healthy, confident children enrolled in our martial arts program.
My staff and I are on an unstoppable mission to provide the children of Miami with the powerful, life changing, tools that only the martial arts can teach. We help each student learn at their own pace and recognize that not every student learns things the same way or at the same rate. This is one of the many unique aspects of martial arts training in our program that sets us apart from other karate schools in the area. It also puts us in a completely different class of learning activity and fitness program like the little league sports many children participate in.

The proven character building skills found in martial arts training are unique and will lead your child to actively strive to incorporate them into every aspect of his life. Watch are your child greatly increases in confidence, energy, spirit, self-discipline, respect for self and others, all the while improving his physical conditioning. You will be amazed as your child transforms into an unstoppable force of Black Belt excellence on his quest for...
  • Greater academic achievement.
  • Unshakable self respect.
  • Increased strength and fitness.
  • Better focus.
  • Polished courtesy and respect for others.
Let me share with you a little secret about character development through martial arts classes that all those other programs don't want you to know;

No other sport or hobby can match them.

Read on as I tell you how you and your child can sample all of these fantastic benefits, and more, with our 100% guaranteed Spring Starter Special! But first, a few questions;
  • Are you doing everything possible to empower your child to succeed in life?
  • Do you want to help them enthusiastically be the very best they can be in school?
  • Is developing your child's self-confidence a concern?
  • Would you like to assist your child in developing his unique potential?
  • Are you frustrated with your child's lack of self-discipline?
Most parents are doing everything they can to develop these skills in their children. Often it can be very frustrating constantly working on all these things in the limited time you have available to spend with your children. The good news is that we can help you give your child that head start in life that you've been looking for!

Recently, we polled our parents and kids and discovered that 97% of them are truly academic achievers. We have found that everyone of the 97% group was either on Honor Roll, Principles List, or has been awarded Student of the Month at their respective elementary school. When we probed a little further, we also discovered that less than 19% had achieved those results before enrolling in our program!!!

Students who attend the Academic Karate Program are a step up on others because we teach them about these important life skills and how to develop them to their fullest! Success traits that will pay off for the rest of their lives.

But don't take my word for it! Here is what one parent recently said to me;


"...Sifu, I was blown away when my son earned Student of the Month for Discipline the other day. Not so much because he had earned Student of the Month, rather, what he said to me after the awards ceremony; 'Dad I got this because of karate!' This stuff really works, THANK YOU!"
Rafael Perez, Attorney, Coral Gables


In our program, we don't believe in just teaching children how to block, kick and punch. We work har to also develop your childs characterLook at it this way. In today's society your child's biggest challenges do not necessarily come from "fighting on the streets" or "beating up the neighborhood bully." The challenges come from your child's own inner fears and self doubts. Some examples of what he or she may be thinking or battling in the form of inner demons:
  • "Why does John always pick on me?"
  • "How come I am not as pretty as Jane?"
  • "Why am I not as popular as Derek?"
  • "When will I be taller?"
  • "Life would be so much better if I had that new video game that everyone else has..."
  • "I know that saying No is the right thing but all my friends are doing it..."
How do you get your child to fight these demons? Will your child even tell you that these things are haunting them? Can your child formulate a way to put these issues to rest and conquer them once and for all? Does your child have the inner strength and fortitude do see it through?

Our Academic Karate Program is a proven solution.

It has worked for hundreds of children over the past 15 years and I guarantee that it will work for your child. In a series of lessons designed just for children, your child can learn martial arts easier than you think. Let me tell you it’s secret:
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 doubts, 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’ve been teaching it for over 15 years.

Again, don’t take my word for it. . .

"I was very skeptical about bringing Angela to classes. It has been such fun for her and I could never imagined such caring and supportive group. I truly appreciate the encouragement and positive remarks they give us. We are very glad we joined this school.- Ilka Lombardo, Coral Gables

"Enrolling my daughter is one of the best decisions I have ever made as a parent. Through her involvement and participation in the program at Academic Karate Program she has developed a level confidence, focus and self discipline I do not believe she would have attained otherwise.

More importantly, these skills are now being reflected in her approach to her school work, her goals, her self image and her general attitude towards her future. It's really reassuring to see. If you are seeking a place where your child can be enriched and grow with skills that will last a lifetime, I strongly recommend Academic Karate. Your child will thank you for life.

"I had always hoped that my son would find focus, self- discipline and a desire to achieve. Enrolling him in Academic Karate Program has given him all these things and more.

Through his participation in the various programs he has matured into an amazing young man, whose attitude toward school work, self-improvement and life in general has greatly improved.

Enrolling has truly been a gift that will last a lifetime.

Cynthia Blanco, Coral Gables"

"For several years we had heard about how the learned skills in Karate could help children with self discipline. We struggled with our son in school last year and decided to complement this school year with Karate. We got rid of the sports and introduced him to Karate. Our son started last September and as the school year progressed, the report cards got better each time. At the End of the Year school awards ceremony, he received "The Most Improved" award. The teacher (and needless to say, we the parents) were extremely proud of him; she even commented how much he had matured. We have noticed a definite change in our son. Not only has he shown improvement academically, he has also improved his behavior tremendously.

In the past we have tried all the sports that boys are supposed to play. But we could never get him to stick to any one of them. He would start off very enthusiastically, but the excitement would wear off very quickly. That hasn't happened with Karate and it's the longest activity he's been in. And he still loves it!!

We are very greatfull to Sifu Sandor Urban for his influence on our son and how he has indirectly "calmed down" our home. The homework struggles and bad attitude is now gone. It is a much quieter place now. We congratulate Sifu for running top-notch Karate classes. Keep up the great Work!!

Thank You!

Vari & Iggy Travieso

You're probably wondering, how could this one activity have such a profound impact on my child? Well, not only is it incredible, is also very true; Martial arts classes are not just a sport that can be enjoyed throughout your child's lifetime, but can also improve your child's quality of life!

So, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does Karate manage to do such a great job teaching it?

Again, more than any other sport or activity, Karate gives your child the chance to explore his or her innate powers. Your child will marvel, (as will you) as they realize the benefits of martial arts training; increased strength, flexibility, endurance, balance and inner harmony. Yet this is only the start!

In fact, your child's physical skills will begin to act as a foundation for something much more important; the development of value skills, mental and spiritual. Not cut off from your child's physical skills, but intimately connected - even bonded - to them.

Like this:

  • Courage. Your child finds the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself to take on increasingly more difficult Kenpo Karate moves and technical skills. He becomes no longer afraid of being afraid.

    As he does this, he learns that whatever he sows, so he reaps. He learns to blame no one, but himself. He suddenly see his life as a constant never-ending journey of life-giving self improvement.

    In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He puts an arm lock on his own destiny and discovers that life ultimately pays the price that he asks of it.

  • Staying power. Your child finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can walk further, run longer, jump higher and persist while practicing skills until she gets them right.

    In turn, she learns to never give up. She sticks things out. With the help and empowering encouragement of her Kenpo Karate teachers, she strives harder, longer to reach her goals. Even if she fails, she perseveres and learns to overcome her own self doubts. She won't let anything get in her way of finding the right solutions for every situation.

As the man said, "Where performance is measured, performance improves." Yet, your child first has to learn to accept where he stands now. That means measuring his current strengths and acknowledging weaknesses (that can be systematically conquered). Above all else, he learns that to truly succeed, he can't fool anyone, especially himself.

This results in razor sharp focus and self-confidence. He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and not just in Kenpo Karate class). He pays greater attention to what each teacher says. He knows and accepts where he stands.

Here are just four of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from my Academic Karate Program. You can look forward to your child developing:
  • Powerful Self Control. He'll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure and have a profoundly deeper respect for rules.

  • Improved Focus. He'll learn what's needed, along with developing the powerful skills to "zero in" on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won't get in his way and he will understand that the power of concentration is one of the most valuable life skills of all. Good concentration today means better grades, which leads to better educational opportunities and scholarships down the road. He'll know that this will mean a better career, home, and lifestyle in his future.

  • Outstanding Self Esteem. She'll know that she feels sharp no matter where she is. That high levels of vanity are unhealthy and cannot be allowed to mask her inner beauty.

  • Fearless Self-Confidence. Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer.

As you may have guessed, all of this could not have happened unless I had the very best teachers on my staff. To make sure I have the very best, each of them goes through extensive teacher training programs and have years of experience in my system. They are constantly being thoroughly trained and retrained by me personally in all of the latest martial arts teaching skills.

Today, they are all martial arts experts - advanced Black Belts, in fact. Many have won numerous awards for their teaching skills and are nationally recognized for their physical skills. All of them have studied with myself and many of the top instructors in the martial arts world for over ten years.

Now, I still know what your thinking: How can I be sure that the Academic Karate Program will work for my child? Will learning to kick, block and punch really work for her?
