Should You Take a Self-Defense Course? ( Aurora & East Side Cleveland Area)

2008-07-13T21:39:28-04:00

Should You Take a Self-Defense Course?

  Of course you should! But I�m sure you are wondering -- what do I look for? Where do I go? How do I know if I am being taught the right things?

Here are some guidelines:

1. Is the course taught by a permanent school that has a solid reputation in the community? 

2. Are the teachers professional Martial Art teachers...who teach Martial Arts for a living? Or are they �hobbyists,� who have another career...and teach Martial Arts as a hobby? 

3. Meet with the person who has organized the course. Ask yourself: Am I comfortable with this person? Does she seem capable? Trust your subjective feelings. It should feel right!

4. Can they provide references from current and former students?

5. Does the course teach only Self-Defense technique, or do they also teach Self-Defense strategy?

6. Can you have the opportunity to watch a class before participating? Can you try a class before enrolling?

7. Is there ongoing training? Are �follow-up classes� available?

Of course, the best way to learn to protect yourself is to train in the Martial Arts on a regular basis. The ongoing study of Self-Defense will not only teach you Defense techniques...it will reinforce those techniques so you can execute them automatically, without having to think about them.

I encourage you to look into some type of formal Self-Defense training.

You will enjoy the confident, capable state that it puts you in. You will feel safe and empowered!

Yours Friend,

Scott Shoen

P.S. If you have questions about Self-Defense or are just interested in learning more, give me a call (330-562-1124); I'd be happy to help or register for a FREE One Week Trail Membership by visiting www.AuroraKarate.com

�What Would You Do If Confronted By An Attacker?� ( Aurora & East Side Cleveland Area)

2008-07-13T21:01:15-04:00

�What Would You Do If Confronted By An Attacker?�
I am writing to you with an important message:
You Don't Have To Be Scared Anymore.

Dear Friend,

What if I told you a 100-pound woman -- �armed� with a few simple-to-learn techniques -- could fend off a 200-pound bruiser, and probably scare him away...or at least buy time for help?

Imagine the confidence and the peace of mind you would have if you knew:

� What to do if suddenly grabbed from behind

� How to escape when your wrists have been grabbed

� Two simple skills that empower you to remain calm when facing danger

My name is Scott Shoen. I�m the owner of �Scott Shoen's Familyi Martial Arts Academy� on Rt. 43 in Aurora.

As a Black Belt martial artist, I�m sick and tired of reading stories in the paper, or seeing reports on the nightly news, about innocent victims being accosted by bullies and society�s lowlifes. And I�m doing something about it.

The �Scott Shoen's Karate program is designed to teach simple-to-learn self-defense techniques that will work for the average person. I can teach you how to throw an attacker off balance and quickly disable him!

For example, you will learn:

� How to Double Your Physical Power: You might be surprised to find that a few �easy to learn� principles of body balance will empower you to execute kicking and punching techniques with devastating power!

� Martial Art Alertness: Your previously undiscovered �Intuition� skill -- the built in self-defense mechanism you already possess... but are probably not yet using!

� Self-Defense Strategy: �High Risk� situations: What they are and how to avoid them... also, one simple procedure that virtually assures that you will not be assaulted!

I am so sure that the �Scott Shoen's Karate� program will benefit you that I am offering you two 20-minute sessions -- for FREE. (With no strings attached.) See for yourself if I can deliver these powerful benefits!

To Register: Call us at 562-1124; ask for Adrienne. If you are among the first 25 to call, I�ll even give you a genuine Karate uniform for FREE! (A $50 value.)

So pick up the phone and call us... we are looking forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Scott Shoen

P.S. If you have questions about Attackers or are just interested in learning more, give me a call (330-562-1124); I'd be happy to help or register for a FREE One Week Trail Membership by visiting www.AuroraKarate.com.

The Ancient Secrets of the Masters Revealed...

How to Achieve the Stress
Free, Confident Lifestyle You Deserve...
100% Guaranteed!

�And no...I�m not going to recommend a lot of boring exercise routines or �pop-psychology� garbage. Instead, I�m going to share with you the powerhouse Martial Art strategies that I have used with hundreds of professionals...just like you!�

�In fact, I am so sure that the �Scott Shoen's Karate� program will benefit you that I am offering a FREE One Week Trial Membership!�

�This �no-strings attached� offer allows you to �test drive� us -- to see if we can make good on these �outrageous� promises --
at absolutely no risk or expense to you!�

Dear Friend,

I�d like for you to join me in battle.

You see, even in today�s �civilized� society...there is still an enemy pursuing you.

But it�s not like the old days, when the bear would come down from the mountain and try to eat you.

Even though civilization has driven away the actual bear...today�s �bear� is just as ferocious...just as hungry...and a lot trickier.

Let me explain. Have you ever found yourself asking:

* �I�m successful...why don�t I have the peace of mind -- the satisfaction -- I thought I would have at this point in my life?�

* �Have I become �soft� -- the victim of a sedentary �couch potato� lifestyle?

* �Have I lost the edge, the fire, the passion I had a few years back?�

Here�s the problem:

The same civilization that has protected us from the actual bear has also created a different type of �bear�...like I said...just as hungry, and a lot trickier. It�s called STRESS...and you may have seen its ugly �tracks� near your home:

For example, have you ever experienced:

* a lack of energy...a sense of fatigue that prevents you from doing the things you enjoy?

* boredom, and a feeling that life has lost its excitement?

* frustration...a lack of patience...a feeling that time is slipping through your hands?

I am writing to you -- as one professional to another -- with an important message:

It doesn�t have to be that way. The Stress-Free,

Confident Lifestyle is yours for the taking!

And it�s a lot easier than you think.

Imagine the confidence and the peace of mind you would have if you knew:

* the principles of stress reduction...your �key� to inner peace!

* the �secret� to smashing self-imposed barriers

* the self-defense skills necessary to protect yourself and your family

My name is Scott Shoen. I�m the owner of �Scott Shoen�s Karate� on Rt. 43 in Aurora. I have been teaching Stress Free, Confident Lifestyle Strategies to professionals just like yourself, at the same location, for nineteen years.

You might wonder why I am so confident that these �ancient secrets� will work for you.

Here�s why: I have used them myself to make my school the number #1 Martial Art school in Cleveland.

But...I don�t expect you to rely only on my �say-so�... Read what these �Scott Shoen�s Karate� students have to say:

I love the academy and am so thankful for all the wonderful life skills that my family has learned. Thank you for all that you and the academy have done for my family and me. The positive impact you have had on the children is remarkable. They are more kind, considerate, and excel in school. They are learning skills well beyond self-defense that will benefit them for life. My wife and I fell this is one of the best investments we have ever made.

Dr. Dave Leone, Aurora Doctor, Aurora
Master Shoen you have made every class unique which in turn makes every class that much more enjoyable, and that is still true after 2 years! I thought you would be interested in knowing how your training has effected my life outside the academy, so here are a couple of things.

Since joining your academy I have read 21 books. Before joining i might have read a total of 5 books completely in the past 10 years. Thanks, I have enjoyed reading again.

My posture, breathing, & relaxation all have improved considerably. I work at a computer for long periods of time & no longer experience the pains in my shoulders, neck, and back. I used to tense my shoulders and neck all the time.

Richard Boyer, Computer Tech, Aurora

Karate helps me to be more focused, and concentrate in my school and Pastoral work. I can see that the hard work [in karate] helps me with life�s challenges, especially the challenge of being virtuous. My best day in Karate is graduation day � challenging, exerting, and fulfilling.

Father Mwaka, Local Priest at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Aurora

It�s no wonder that professionals like yourself have turned to me for Stress-Free, Confident Lifestyle Strategies for the last twenty five years...the simple fact is that these little known strategies work.

Of course, we will be teaching you the self-defense skills that will make you feel �in command� of any situation. For example, you will learn:

* How to Double Your Physical Power: You might be surprised to find out that a few �easy to learn� principles of body balance will enable you to execute kicking and punching techniques with devastating power!

* Beginning and Advanced Self-Defense Techniques, including: What to do if suddenly grabbed from behind; how to escape when your wrists have been grabbed; and two simple skills that empower you to remain calm when facing danger

* Family Protection Strategies -- including �High Risk� situations... What they are, and how to avoid them...also, we will be teaching you how to teach these skills to your family members...virtually �danger-proofing� your spouse and your children!

The �Scott Shoen�s Karate� program is designed to teach simple-to-learn Lifestyle Strategies that will work for the busy professional person.

For example, you will learn:

* Self-Empowerment...how to take command of your health, your career, your lifestyle�your destiny!

* How to deal with the paralysis of the �comfort zone� -- and why you MUST learn to step outside of it

* How to Smash Through Previously Imposed Limitations

* Why you might be one simple step away from maintaining the peace and satisfaction you have been pursuing!

Just picture this...

Your day begins early; you are focused, relaxed, and alert. The old sense of fatigue is gone, replaced by a sense of energy...a feeling of purpose.

As you begin your workday, you are pleased to notice yourself dealing with others in a confident manner...completely at ease. You also begin to notice the new level of respect with which you are treated by colleagues and co-workers.

You move with the assurance and with the authority that comes from knowing that you can handle any situation. For yourself. And for your family. Finally! You have the stress-free, confident lifestyle you deserve!

The sad truth is that many people don�t realize just how easy it is to learn these �survival skills.�
In fact, you might find yourself saying:

�I�m too busy -- it must take a lot of time�

or

�I�m not in very good shape -- I don�t know if I could do it�

or

�Doesn�t it take years of study?�

But don�t worry! We have �ironed out the wrinkles.� These �result-getting� strategies provide sure-fire results for busy professionals like yourself...who invest in only 2 forty-five minute training sessions each week. And it doesn�t matter if you are not in good shape to begin with. Within a few short weeks, you will feel like a new man.

You may not realize it yet, but virtually anybody can learn these skills...and it�s a lot easier than you might think.

Now, you may be asking, �How can I know for sure that the �Scott Shoen�s Karate� teaching system will work for me?�

I�ve got some great news for you: It�s never been easier to find out.

First of all, I don�t want you to believe these amazing claims based only on my say-so (although a lot of other�s �say-so,� too: see enclosed �Success Stories�).

No, I�d like to make it possible for you to see, first hand, (and, at my own personal expense), exactly how we make good on all of these stunning claims.

Now, here comes the good part.

I am so sure that you would enjoy and benefit from the �Scott Shoen�s Karate� program that I am offering you, FREE of charge, a One Week Trial Membership. These are Private Lessons�just you and the teacher. I�ll even toss in a free Karate uniform.

See for yourself if, in fact, I can deliver the powerful benefits promised in this letter. We�ve made it incredibly easy.

Imagine how you will feel during Class #1 when:

You begin your Martial Art training with Private Instruction, �one-on-one� with one of our professional teachers. You will be pleasantly surprised when you see how easy it is to learn �The Six Points of Body Balance� ...and �The Weapons of Self-Defense.� You will also learn two simple �safety strategies� that you can share with your family members!

Then, in Class #2:

The Private Instruction continues; Your confidence soars as you learn �How To Move With Speed & Power� techniques (in fact, you will instantly double your power with a simple technique for shifting body weight!) We will also be showing you the simple relaxation technique that has been taught by Martial Art Masters for hundreds of years...enabling you to reduce your stress level and have the refreshed, alert mind-set you need...any time you want!

What comes next? You will be so excited when, after our 2-week �Private Instruction� orientation, you join a high energy, enthusiastic Beginning Group Class. You feel stronger and more confident after learning Master Shoen�s �Skills of Empowment� and how to immediately apply them. You will also learn �The Physiology of Confidence�...the �easy to learn� adjustments to your posture, voice projection, and eye contact that will instantly let people know they are dealing with a person of confidence!

Imagine how you will feel when you see your skills beginning to develop...in a positive, encouraging Martial Art environment! Already, you feel more physically fit and more capable. When you begin to realize that Martial Arts will be the key to developing the Stress-Free, Confident Lifestyle that you�ve always wanted -- you will know that you have made a wise choice!

If you are even a bit curious about what the Martial Arts have to offer...if you have a feeling that this might be one of the most important things you can do for yourself, I urge you to register today.

But Be Warned. Remember, I�m inviting you to check out the most successful Martial Art school in the country! Due to increasing demand, we have limited time slots for Introductory Lessons. Avoid long delays. Call as soon as possible.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

You know it in your gut...you MUST act now...

Expecting the Unexpected! ( Aurora & East Side Cleveland Area)

2008-07-13T19:58:27-04:00

Expecting the Unexpected!

Most of the time, we are safe. We are in control of what happens to us. We don�t make strategic mistakes.

But...regardless of how organized we are, regardless of how well we have planned, occasionally something happens unexpectedly. We:

* lock our keys in the car
* we run out of gas
* we get lost
* somebody comes to the door
late at night

None of these situations are difficult to handle...if you�ve prepared in advance. Here is one of the simple �StreetSmart� truths:

We are vulnerable
when something happens
to knock us out of our usual
way of doing things.

Mistakes are made when you are caught off guard. When something unexpected happens, caution and safety are lost in the commotion. For example:

You return to your car, late at night. You can�t find your keys in your purse...because they are in your ignition. And you don�t have a spare. You can�t get to your car phone. So you find yourself walking, alone, through a bad part of town, trying to find a pay phone.

Get the idea? Guess what? So do the �bad guys.� They have a built-in radar. Always on the look for somebody in distress, somebody lost...somebody unprepared.

Let�s consider the above example again.

The �StreetSmart� woman says, �Rats. I locked my keys in the car. Good thing I always keep a spare in my purse.� And happily, safely, drives home.

So here is your homework.

List as many possible �emergency� situations as you can. Like the ones I�ve mentioned above. Include ones that are particular to your own situation.

Then write down your �preparation strategy� for each possible situation. Follow through on your plan.

Remember, these are usually easy problems to solve. In advance!

So...DO this exercise. Get your pen and paper right now!

You will enjoy the confident, capable state that it puts you in. You will feel safe and empowered!

Yours Friend,

Scott Shoen

Martial Arts from Around the World! ( Aurora & East Side Cleveland Area)

2008-07-11T16:42:25-04:00

Martial Arts from Around the World!

Most people know that there are lots of Martial Arts. But most people don�t know where those styles come from, and how they are different.

Here�s what you need to know.

Karate: �Empty Hand� self-defense; uses mostly hand techniques, some kicking techniques; emphasizes speed. Comes from Japan.

Judo: A grappling sport, using flips and throws. More a sport than a Martial Art. Uses principles of body balance. Also from Japan.

Tae Kwon Do: Dynamic high kicks and flying kicks. More kicks than hand techniques; emphasizes powerful application of technique. Originated in Korea.

Kickboxing: Full contact Karate, in a boxing ring, with boxing gloves. Opponents attempt to knock each other out with Karate kicking techniques, and boxing hand techniques. The one true American martial sport.

Aikido: Another grappling Martial Art; utilizes wrist and elbow locks to throw opponent to the ground. Like Judo and Karate, from Japan.

Kung Fu: There are many different styles of Kung Fu. Many utilize hand and foot techniques learned from watching animals in combat. This ancient Martial Art is from China.

Although these Martial Arts have different characteristics, the most important thing in choosing a style is to find a school where you like the teachers!

And remember, friends, in the spirit of the Martial Arts, be strong in facing life�s challenges, and gentle toward all fellow human beings!

Yours in Black Belt Excellence,

Scott Shoen

If major medical, worker�s comp and disability does not cover 100% of your medical bills, possible travel and home care and/ or loss of income for the serious accident or illness, then where do you get the money?

To make that even worse there are still the living expenses like mortgage or rent, car, groceries and utilities for the serious accidents or illnesses.

In a dual-income family the consequences can be magnified if the healthy spouse is forced to care for the recovering partner.

With all these financial obligations and needs, where will you get the money?

SAVINGS?

LOANS?

FAMILY?

EMPLOYER?

I have the answer to your families financial future in a time of need.

We�re there to pay CASH directly to you, not the doctors or hospital,

3 Tips for Developing Self-Discipline in Your Children (Aurora & East Side Cleveland Area)

2008-07-09T23:11:03-04:00

3 Tips for Developing
Self-Discipline in Your Children

To be happy in life, a young person must be Self-Disciplined. In order to be Self-Disciplined, children must be raised in a disciplined environment. These �tips� will help!  

1. As a parent, you must always, always, do what you say you are going to do. Remember that your children learn from EVERY encounter with you...even if it's not what you want them to learn!

For example, if you tell a child that a certain behavior will cause them to be punished, you MUST follow through with the punishment. Each time you don't follow through, you teach your child, "Mom and Dad don't mean what they say."

If a child, for example, is being disruptive, and you say, "Michael, please stop that," and then allow Michael to continue, you have effectively taught Michael to disobey!  

Children need the security that comes from knowing Mom and Dad are truly in charge. Any inconsistency in your approach robs them of that security!

2. Show your children the effects of self-discipline, and the effects of LACK of self-discipline. Be on the lookout for people who are becoming successful as a result of their self-discipline. Families, athletes, famous people, even fictional characters can be great examples.

In the same way, show your children the results of the lack of self-discipline. Discuss people who are in trouble, or people who don't get the results they want, and show your children how the breakdown in their self-discipline led them to trouble!

3. Paint an exciting future for your children. Inspire them to dream big dreams, to think boldly about their future. Show them the opportunities that become available to people who have great discipline!

Follow these tips, and your child will develop the important quality of Self-Discipline!

If you have questions about Discipline issues, give me a call (330-562-1124); I'd be happy to help or register for a FREE One Week Trail Membership by clicking the link below.

Attention Parents...Boy Learns Respect Parents Stunned... Delighted! (Aurora & East Side Cleveland Area)

2008-07-05T20:49:31-04:00

Unbelievable, but true ...
Boy Learns Respect
Parents Stunned... Delighted!

  Tony was very disruptive.

He was disruptive at school, and rude and inconsiderate at home. Tony had been suspended from school; he was not obeying curfews, and constantly used profane and disrespectful language when talking with his parents.

Tony demonstrated no respect for family members or teachers at school.

Not surprisingly, nobody respected Tony, other than a few kids at school...who all had attitudes similar to his.

As you can imagine, Tony�s parents were heartbroken over his lack of respect.

Then they heard, through a neighbor, that Martial Arts might be a good way to teach Tony respect.

When I first got to know Tony, I could tell by his appearance and the way he talked about himself that his self-respect was low.

It was also apparent that he saw no connection between his attitude toward others and their attitude toward him.

Tony felt that he would begin respecting others when they began respecting him. This isn�t too surprising in a 15 year old. Smart parents understand that kids must be taught respect.

Although Tony was disrespectful at home and at school, he was very polite and respectful in the Karate school. He loved the protocol and the politeness of the Martial Arts.

I said to him, �Tony, why do you like it here?�

He said, �I dunno...I guess because of all the teachers have done in Karate. I respect that.� He added, �Plus, everybody is nice to me.�

�Tony, can you see how it works? You are respected here because you are respectful.�

�What do you mean?�

�Tony, would you be disruptive or disrespectful here? Would you be verbally disrespectful to your Martial Art teachers?�

�No way!�

Tony wanted, more than anything else, to be respected.

I began to show Tony how his disrespectful attitude outside of the Martial Arts was hurting him.

And how he really owed far more respect to his family and his school teachers than he did to his Martial Art teachers.

Tony began to understand so we made a plan:

1. Appearance.

�Tony, why is your Karate uniform always so neat and clean?�

�I just like it that way, I guess.�

�Well, you certainly seem to take pride in your appearance when you come to Karate. I respect that, and so do your Karate teachers.�

I began to help Tony see that certain types of dress were appropriate with his friends, in social settings...but were not appropriate around his family and in school. We discussed the value in taking pride in one�s appearance as a way of earning respect.

2. Language.

  Tony had such a sullen, negative way of speaking that people automatically interpreted it as disrespect.  What�s more, he seldom looked anybody in the eye when he spoke.

We began working on making eye contact with people, and using a more enthusiastic voice tone.

The occasional �Yes, Sir!� and �Yes, Ma�am� when talking with parents and teachers was one way that we used to show them that Tony was making an effort to be respectful.

3. Obey �rules of the house.�
 ...just like he was doing in the Karate school.

Tony had never given any thought to the fact that he should be respecting the rules of his parent�s home. And yet, when he came to his �karate home,� he always understood that certain rules of conduct applied.

We discussed the importance of avoiding bad language, and rowdy behavior, observing curfews, and all other type of family rules.

Tony was a good kid with some misguided thinking. He thought, �I am not going to respect anybody who doesn�t respect me.� He didn�t understand that you must first give respect in order to get respect.

When Tony began to change, his entire world began to change.

How did Tony's parents discover the solution to this trouble problem? Easy. They began with the "Scott Shoen's Martial Arts" Introductory Program. To register for your FREE Introductory, call 330-562-1124 and ask for Adrienne. You can also register online at by clicking the link below.

2. A FREE Introductory Program for your child, if you decide that our �Respect-Building� system is right for your family.

Scott Shoen

Attention Parents...

"Can You Find Your Son or
Daughter In This Checklist?"

�If So, Read On�You Might Just Find
the Big Breakthrough You�ve Been
Seeking for Your Child!�

Rita, age 11, used to be confident�ready to take on the world. But after starting middle school, she seems like a different person: hesitant and unsure of herself.

Ryan�s mom, Becky, worries because Ryan is so easily wounded. Things said to him by the other kids at school hurt his feelings so easily. Ryan�s hyper-sensitivity is a constant source of stress for Becky.

The peace of the household is frequently disturbed. Everything is a battle: getting ready for school; dinnertime; homework; even things that used to be enjoyable family activities are now potential battles. Screaming matches occur on a regular basis.

Paula is so concerned about being popular. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, worry that this will make her an easy target for negative peer pressure.

Tyler, age 4, does great when he gets it right the first time when learning something new. When he doesn�t get it on the first try, though, he becomes totally frustrated and says, �I�ll never be able to do it!�

Simon used to enjoy playing outside, but has now settled into a couch potato lifestyle. He is putting on weight and seems to be increasingly hooked on junk food.

Martin, bright, smart, and formerly very interested in doing well, has succumbed to the mentality that, somehow, it�s not �cool� to try hard with his school work.

Mr. and Mrs. Hall are frustrated at the level of disrespect demonstrated by their children. The kids never used to talk like this before! The Halls think, �If I had talked like that when I was a kid -- I would have gotten clobbered!�

It seems that Hartley always gravitates toward the �bad crowd.� He is attracted to kids that don�t do well in school and are constantly in trouble.

Julie, formerly bright and easy to get along with, now is moody and sullen when she doesn�t get her way.

Grace is concerned about her son, Alex. Since the divorce, he doesn�t have a positive male role model. Alex is often sullen and difficult to get along with.

Stephen focuses just fine when it comes to video games -- but can�t seem to listen or focus on school work�or things said by his father.

Suzanne is constantly down on herself, often saying, �I�m not as pretty as Elizabeth,� or �I�ll never be popular like Marta.�

Scott used to be a nice, kind child. Lately, though, he has become increasingly aggressive. His parents, Vern and Becky, are concerned�and they�ve already had two calls from the school about Scott�s bullying of younger children.

The teachers say that Charlie can�t focus in school, and might need to be medicated. Nicole and Bryan, his parents, hate that idea. They feel that Charlie just needs to learn listening and focus skills. They are frustrated�how can they build the skills Charlie really needs?

If you've "found" your son or daughter on the above
checklist (and most people do!)...read on...

Note: We get reports like these, literally every day, from parents
whose kids train at "Scott Sheon's Family Martial Arts Academy"

�Jenny�s confidence has grown tremendously since earning her Green Belt. Mrs. Phillips, her teacher, has just called to say that Jenny can now stand up in front of the class in school and confidently speak. Mom and Dad are shocked and surprised.

�Not only has Luke gotten into great physical shape�his athletic skill has improved enormously. Luke seems to have a new found love of being outdoors, playing, and running.

�Lonnie, formerly terrified of moving outside his comfort zone, now eagerly takes on new challenges. As his confidence grows, he moves on to the next challenge with excitement. His parents, Janet and Ernest, credit the high energy, positive environment of �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy.�

�Stuart has become more cheerful and helpful around the house. He enjoys family activities�just like he used to when he was younger. His mother, Beverly, reports that he is now a joy to be around.

�Mom was delighted when, after the neighborhood bar-b-que, Mrs. Taylor from down the street commented, �Your son Justin is such a well mannered young boy!�

�Lucy said, �Mom, the kids were saying mean things to me at school today.� Mom thinks, �Oh no, here we go again.� -- and says, �Well, how did you handle it?� Mom breathes a sigh of relief when Lucy says, �It�s no big deal. Their words can�t hurt me. I learned that in Karate class!�

�Trent, formerly quite a slob, now seems to be taking pride in his appearance. Without being asked, somehow his hair is combed, his shirt is clean, his teeth are brushed. And, not always, but at least occasionally, his bedroom seems to be picked up and clean! Just as Trent is proud of his Martial Art accomplishments, he also seems to take pride in other aspects of his life!

Now, you've got to be asking yourself,

"This sounds great - but how does it work?"

and

"How do I get these results for my child?"

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Scott Shoen. I�ve worked with over 2,000 kids (just like yours!) over the last 18 years. Many are grown adults now and still training.

I started training for many of the same reasons that students come to me for help. I was struggling in school, getting bullied, was frustrated, angry and disrespectful. I was the lest coordinated student my instructor had ever had, but karate saved my life. By the time I was a black belt I was getting A's and B's, making friends, and being very respectful at home. I even managed to become highly coordinated and my new friends were all very impressed with my black belt testing. So I have always had a very special connection with my students who are struggling and we all struggle on some level.

Now my wife of 6 years and I, are raising a wonderful baby girl (You�ll probably meet her when you visit our school.) So I know how it feels to want the best for your children. I am even more committed than ever to helping all of my students because I know each one of them is a son or daughter to our parents. I am truly humbled that so many local families have trusted me to help their children and I take it very much to heart.

I�ve owned �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� since 2002. It�s one of the best businesses in Aurora. It is considered by many to be the most successful Martial Art school in the Cleveland Area.

I also have a book (write by one of my head instructors) that I use to teach life skills , How to Build Rock Solid Kids. This book, and the accompanying music CD, Rock Solid Kid Songs, has taught self-esteem building skills to both children and parents�all around the world!

But�what am I most proud of? Easy. Being a family man; being active in my church; and having the privilege of making a contribution to this community that has been so good to me.

But -- enough about me! Here�s how it works:

Introducing the

"Scott Shoen's Karate"

"Ten Point Success System"

1. Positive Role Models: The biggest asset of �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy?� Easy. The teachers. Now, I�ll tell you up front. They are not like the teachers you�ve seen in the Martial Art movies. Are they �tough guys?� Yes. But what you will notice (and so will your child)�is that they are �Nice Guys.� They have been hand selected�not just because they are great Martial Artists. They have been chosen because they are wonderful people�and have a great love of helping others benefit from the Martial Arts! All of our teachers were once students at �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� themselves. They care about each student individually -- and are totally committed to helping your child reach his or her potential.

2. Physical Fitness: It�s hard to feel good about yourself when you are out of shape physically�or when your athletic skills have not been fully developed. Our belief is that, regardless of how athletic somebody seems to be�there is an athlete inside all of us. When a student feels their physical skills skyrocket�it�s not long before their self-image follows suit!

3. A High Energy, Exciting Environment: Many kids have grown accustomed to virtual activities (video games, television, internet). Participating in an exciting, high energy environment, focused on an actual activity, will give your child a very real sense of achievement!

4. Regular Incentives for Effort and Achievement: The belt system of Martial Arts (your child will earn a new belt every three months: white, yellow, gold, orange, green, etc.), regular positive feedback and recognition of accomplishment, incentives for improvement, applause, smiles, and high-fives will systematically lead your child into the �Yes, I Can!� attitude you�ve always wanted for him or her.

5. The �Message of the Week�: Regular exposure, through our �Message of the Week,� to systematic instruction, accompanied by exercises in the lessons of respect, discipline, focus, persistence, courage, discipline and confidence. (Most of the �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� parents name this as their favorite part of the program!)

6. A Proven System of Skill Development: No fancy theories or hard to understand concepts here. Master Shoen, and the rest of our teachers are experts in teaching the actual SKILLS of listening and focus. Hint: We�ll be teaching these to your child in the very first week!

7. A Series of Positively Constructed Challenges that will build your child�s confidence. You will be delighted as you see your children confidently move outside their comfort zone. As the weeks go by, you will smile with pride as your son or daughter moves from challenge to challenge�their confidence soaring at each new accomplishment!

8. An Atmosphere of Respect: You watch with satisfaction as your children learn to give respect and to earn respect. Most importantly, they learn the essential lessons of Self-Respect!

9. Order and Structure: Even though the atmosphere is friendly and supportive, Karate is not �play time.� You will be delighted to see how your children develop focus and persistence in our orderly, structured environment.

10. A Friendship Based Environment: If you are expecting the old, harsh, authoritarian, military style Martial Art training�you are going to be sadly disappointed. When you visit us, you will find a friendly, supportive environment. Some of the teachers and long time students have been friends for nearly 30 years. That atmosphere of friendship, support, and respect will give your child the support he or she needs to succeed!

"So -- who are these teachers
and where do you get them?"

Easy. We �grow� them ourselves! Each �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� teacher began first as a White Belt Beginning student right here in our school.

* As their Martial Art skills progressed, each prospective teacher began a Leadership Training program conducted personally by myself.

* Then, they moved forward into a �Teaching Internship� program, where they received hands on experience in teaching the �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� principles.

* Only after a long (and challenging) internship were they considered for full time employment at �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy.�

You may not have known this, but the teachers at most Martial Art schools are people who teach the Martial Arts as a hobby. They work a full-time job in another profession and teach the Martial Arts in their spare time.

Not so with the �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� teaching staff. They are all full-time, professional teachers!

I know you will enjoy meeting:

Adrienne Barna: Mother of two wonderful sons; credits Martial Arts with building her confidence; 2nd degree black belt and Certificated Instructor; loves to be active in her church and charity work. Married for over 25 years.

"OK -- I Might Be Interested... What Do I Do Next?"

First of all, I don�t want you to believe these amazing claims based only on my say-so (although a lot of others �say-so,� too: Go to www.aurorakarate.com to read our parent success stories)

No, I�d like to make it possible for you to see, first hand, and with your own child (and, at my own personal expense), exactly how we make good on all of these stunning claims.

Now, here comes the good part. We�ve made it incredibly easy. Here�s how:

Take Advantage of the FREE Introductory Program: (A $59.00 value.) I�m offering you two 15 minute, one-on-one (just your child and the teacher) lessons -- for FREE and with absolutely no strings attached. See for yourself if, in fact, I can give your child the powerful benefits promised in this letter.

Watch with your own eyes as your child receives coaching by one of our expert teachers:

Class One: Your child begins by learning the profound influence of the Martial Arts �bow.� Then, watch as he:

* Warms to the idea of emotional respect for
both himself and others.

* Gains physical power from the
�Six Points of Body Balance.�

* Immediately improves focus and retention with
the �Three Skills of Listening.�

Then, you will glow with pride as you hear him recite the first principle of the Student Creed:

�I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.�

We finish with a lot of �high fives,� smiles, a photo souvenir, and a surprise FREE gift for your child.

Class Two: More bows. More smiles. More �high fives.� Then, watch as your child:

* Gains super confidence with the
�Three Self-Defense Techniques Every Child Should Know.�

* Instantly becomes more powerful by learning two simple skills
of �shifting body weight.�

* Then, you will watch with pride as your child, along with the teacher,
recites another part of the Student Creed:

�I intend to develop self-discipline in order to

bring out the best in myself and others.�

Finally, you will stand and cheer (and, if you are like many other parents, with a tear of pride in your eye) as your child is awarded the White Belt, signifying that she has passed all Introductory Requirements and is ready to be a Karate Student.

Believe me. With just these two short lessons, your child will come away with her self-confidence greatly improved. Not just in how she feels. She�ll actually be experiencing real life skills. Skills that she can put to powerful use, right away, today.

All while enjoying the fun and excitement of an upbeat Martial Art program.

And -- it�s all FREE! You have absolutely no risk whatsoever.

To schedule your child�s two free classes, simply call 330-562-1124 from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Ask for Adrienne, and tell her you would like to set up a time to come in and register for your FREE Introductory Program.

FREE Karate Uniform (A $40.00 value). If you�re among the first 25 to call, I�ll even give your child a genuine Karate uniform. It�s his to keep, even if you decide the �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� program is not what you are looking for.

I urge you to call today and schedule your FREE Introductory Program. It might be the most important thing you ever do!

But Be Warned. Remember, I�m inviting you to check out the most successful Martial Art school in the Cleveland area! Due to increasing demand, we have limited time slots for Introductory Lessons. Avoid long delays. Request your FREE Introductory Lessons and Free Gifts as soon as possible.

Yours for Successful Kids,

Scott Shoen

P.S. Remember, there is absolutely no obligation in trying the FREE Introductory Program. If you do the Introductory Program and love it (as most people do), you are welcome to register your child as a regular student. If, however, you feel that the �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� program is not what you are looking for, there is absolutely no obligation to continue. And your child�s Karate uniform is his to keep!

LAKEWOOD RESIDENTS!--URGENT! (LAKEWOOD)

2008-07-01T20:43:17-04:00

Lakewood Residents (and, unfortunately, only Lakewood residents):

CAO is giving a presentation this Thursday, July 3rd at 5:30 at City Hall. Councilman Bullock requested the meeting. All Lakewood residents opposed to the ban must attend. We need any Lakewood resident to attend and we need the name of each person before the meeting. Get your neighbors, anyone who has expressed opposition, dog owners, non dog owners, trainers, business owners, anyone! I must make clear that ONLY Lakewood residents can be present.

Last week, the Lakewood prosecutor stated that Lakewood residents generally are not opposed to the ban. He also indicated that only �8� Lakewood residents spoke at the last meeting and each of them were not in compliance with the laws. Now, please make sure you are in compliance with the laws by Thursday. If you are having problems obtaining insurance, please contact the following company:

Farmer�s Insurance

Agent: John Zohos
(440) 449-3276

Please contact me if you are planning to attend on Thursday. I need names of each person. I�d also like to know whether you own what Lakewood would refer to as a �pit bull� type dog and whether you are in compliance (I won�t disclose anything you ask me not to disclose). We also need residents who are not �pit bull� owners. This is not necessarily an open meeting so I�ll need a list of people. Not everyone will get in. We will ask any non-resident to sit outside if they come. DON�T JUST TRY TO ATTEND; ATTEND!!!!! YOU MUST BE THERE.

In addition, there is a meeting tomorrow morning. I will be there. Please try to attend.

How to Raise Your Child�s Self-Esteem (Aurora)

2008-06-26T15:51:09-04:00

How to Raise Your Child�s
Self-Esteem

Beware! There is a thief near you! And that thief is not after your money or your VCR. This thief is after something far more valuable.
The thief is after the Self-Esteem of your most precious possession...your child.
My friends, we live in a largely negative world. And, unless you are vigilant, that negativity will drain the Self-Esteem from your son or daughter.
Protecting the Self-Esteem of your child is an ongoing, never-ending task. The responsibility falls to you. If you don�t undertake this urgent responsibility, who will?
The �Scott Shoen's Family Martial Arts Academy� teachers use a 10 step approach to developing and protecting Self-Esteem. You can use these strategies, too!
1. Always remind your child of their past victories and accomplishments. Let their self-image be built upon a recollection of past successes. Let the memory of failures and disappointments fade away.
2. Help your child strive for improvement....not perfection. Help them to create reasonable expectations for performance.
3. Develop a family heritage. Teach your child to be proud of your family. Tell them about the achievements and sacrifices of their parents,
grandparents, and other relatives.
3. Develop a family heritage. Teach your child to be proud of your family. Tell them about the achievements and sacrifices of their parents, grandparents, and other relatives.
4. Do provide feedback; don�t be overly critical. If you do have to give negative feedback, especially to an older child, always criticize privately; on the other hand, always praise publicly!
5. Teach him the value of telling the truth. Lying steals Self-Esteem!
6. Appearance counts! Guide your child into taking pride in their appearance.
7. Try to guide her toward friends who have high Self-Esteem. Help her to avoid negative people.
8. Paint the big picture with your child. Help her to dream big dreams about her future!
9. Be healthy! Exercise regularly; eat a balanced diet.
10. Become an expert! Pick a couple of activities that are important to your child and help him to MASTER them! Don�t allow them to flit from activity to activity.
If you have questions about Self-Esteem issues, give me a call; I�d be happy to help!

Your Friend,

Scott Shoen
