Pedro's Judo Center Children’s Programs:
Lil' Dragons     Basic Judo for Kids     Leadership Team

The benefits of participating in our unique programs include improvement in: school grades, self-discipline, self-esteem, behavior at home, overcoming shyness, self-control, fitness, coordination, flexibility, listening skills, manners, and skills in other sports. This is an activity in which all kids can participate equally.

“I was skeptical when I heard that judo would teach my child discipline, confidence, and self esteem….

But, now – he’s a Great Student, Confident, Focused, and Respectful!”

Dear Parent,

I don’t blame you. You’re thinking, “come on…how can judo and martial arts teach wholesome values – and, success skills?” Well, I’m here to tell you, in more ways than you can begin to imagine.

My name is Jimmy Pedro, I’m the program director and owner of one of the most successful judo studios in the United States, “Pedro’s Judo Center” here in Wakefield, MA.

For over 30 years, my family and I have been nurturing children like yours with character building tools found only in judo. No other sport can match them. In the next few pages, I’m going to provide you with reasons why you and your child should sample our program FREE of Charge!!

Watch as your child increases in confidence, energy, and spirit. Stand and be amazed as he becomes unstoppable in his quest for… Greater academic achievement
Unshakable self respect
Increased strength and fitness, in both body and mind
And all of it comes while learning self defense and the throws and pins of judo. Look at it this way, your child’s first and biggest challenge comes not from “fighting for his rights on the street,” or “beating up the neighborhood bully,” but by battling more sinister forces - your child’s own fears and self doubts:
  • “I’m not as smart as Timmy.”
  • “I don’t get what my teacher is saying.”
  • “Why can’t I be as popular as Susie?”
  • “I wish I was as (strong, pretty, tall) as David.”
  • “Why does Joe keep giving me a hard time?”
  • The question is, how do you get your child to fight these fears? You know the problem – your child has a tough time even telling you she’s haunted by them. Never mind how she might conquer them.

    Well, the good news is, I have a proven solution. A program that has already worked for thousands of children. A series of lessons your child can learn easier than you think.

    How does it work?

    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 knock 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 judo to conquer his fears, he has the power and confidence to transfer that discipline to all other areas of life. I know of no other sport that does this better than judo. (I know because I conquered my own fears to become Olympic Champion and our program has taught thousands of others to do the same over the past 30 years.)

    But don’t take my word for it, read what our student's parents have said about our programs.

    Now you may be asking, how does all of this “values’ stuff work? And why does judo manage to do a better job teaching it than other sports?

    Again, more than any other sport, Judo gives your child the chance to explore her innate powers. She’ll marvel (as will you) as she increases in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start.

    In fact, her physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of her value skills, mental and spiritual. And not cut off her physical skills, but intimately connected – even bonded to them.

    Courage:
    Your child will find the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself to take on more difficult judo moves, skills, and training partners. He becomes no longer afraid of being afraid.

    As he does, he learns that whatever he sows, he reaps. He learns to accept responsibility for his actions and to blame no one, but himself. He suddenly sees his life as a constant, never-ending journey of life-giving improvement.

    In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He puts an arm lock on his own destiny.

    Staying Power:
    Your child finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can walk farther, run longer, climb higher, and practice skills until she gets them right.

    In turn, she learns not to give up. She sticks things out. With the help of her teachers, she strives harder and longer to reach her goals. Even if she fails, she perseveres. She won’t let her self-doubts get in the way of finding ultimate solutions.

    Honesty:
    As the man said, “Where performance is measured, performance improves.” Yet, your child has to first accept where he stands now. That means measuring current strengths. Above all, he learns to succeed, he can’t fool anyone, especially himself.

    This results in a keener focus. He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and not just in Judo). He pays greater attention to what each teacher says. He knows and accepts where he stands.

    These are just three of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from our Judo program. In short, you can look forward to your child developing:
  • Powerful Self Control: She’ll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. She’ll have deeper respect for rules.
  • Improved Focus: She’ll learn what’s needed, along with the skill to “zero in” on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won’t get in her way.
  • Fearless Self Control: Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer.
  • Towering Role-Model Teachers:
    As you might guess, all of this couldn’t have happened unless I had the very best teachers. All of our instructors are USA Judo certified instructors and have years of teaching experience. They are all high-level black belts and more importantly, most have children of their own currently enrolled in our program.

    Here’s how it works:

    Watch with your own eyes as your child gets coached by a top judo instructor…

    Class one at the judo center. 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 power from the ability to be confident yet respectful.
  • Begins to increase his listening and focusing skills, to follow directions better.
  • Then glow as you hear him recite one of the main principles of judo, “I will use my judo to develop my mind and body through Minimum Effort and Maximum Efficiency while maintaining Mutual Respect for myself and for others.”

    Class two at the judo center: More bows. Then watch as your child:
  • Gains super confidence while learning the basics of judo, for success in all areas of life.
  • Joins in a group class with other like minded people.
  • Begins to increase his personal responsibility, which may mean a cleaner room.

  • In two short lessons, your child will come away with her self-confidence greatly improved. Not just in how she feels, but she’ll actually end up with real “Life Skills.” Skills that she can put to powerful use right now, today. All while learning the fun and excitement of an upbeat martial arts program.
