In 2014, Vision Martial Arts was formed. It is their “VISION” to enhance life by training our students in becoming better members of the community. Our students achieve this because of greater confidence and self discipline.
In this VISION, bullying is no longer an issue. Through martial arts, children learn to work with each other and recognize similarities, as opposed to making fun of or intimidating based on differences.
VISION MARTIAL ARTS achieves this by working to develop student’s four states of health: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual.
Why are martial arts so successful in transforming lives? The reason is fairly simple. Martial arts are habitual. It is about the “Practice, of being in Practice.” “How you do anything is how you do everything! Through positive habitual training, our students develop in a very structured approach.
