Success For Life 

 

Mind & Body Training for Children

SFL is an exciting new children’s educational program at the cutting edge of character building and life skills development taught through martial arts training.

Environment

With the environment ever changing our children are asked to face more difficult challenges and increasing pressures everyday. We all see and hear about the effects that school violence; bullying, negative peer pressure and obesity have on children. Martial arts schools teaching Success For Life have a genuine interest in helping shape a positive future for today’s youth, the future leaders.

Objective

Success For Life was developed by Martial Arts Instructors, elementary teachers and character education experts, by working together they devised a Character Education program that would help children make better decisions for the future, become more self confident, and develop into successful well rounded adults, and give parents more peace of mind when it came to ensuring that they chose the best education for their child.

Program

We have created four martial arts hero’s, each character has a unique personality and design to help give children the enthusiasm and motivation to succeed. A student’s character builds through the 12 life skills modules being taught in their martial arts classes, these are supported at home by parents and children participating together completing child friendly, life skills checklists to reinforce the skills learnt in class. Once children have demonstrated the required effort and conduct in and out of their martial arts schools they are rewarded with certificates decorated with their favorite martial arts hero’s.

Martial Arts

Martial Arts training simply serves as a vehicle to instil values and skills that children can put to use outside of the Martial Arts School. Skills like: Self-Confidence, Self-Control, and Positive Thinking; Listening Skills, Respect and Good Manners. The Ability to Focus Attention; Perseverance and Courage. The core of martial arts stresses the vital importance of a healthy mind and body necessary to lead a productive life.

Shaved 30 min off my half-marathon run!

“Since going to Takedown MMA regularly, I’ve lost 7% body fat, gained muscle strength, and decrease my half-marathon time by 30 minutes. The classes will leave you sweating like crazy regardless of how often you do them. The atmosphere is friendly, fun, and everyone is willing to give you tips on technique. I recommend Takedown to ANYONE, just KEEP UP and you WILL SEE AND FEEL RESULTS!” – Diana Mollicone, Toronto, Ontario

Having fun and gaining self-confidence…

“I really like the way that coach and mentor your students to focus on self-protection and to wisely use the Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills you teach for self-protection only and with a sense of duty that is rarely seen in many dojos. I also like the way that you focus on developing the character and leadership of developing young minds. I can see that the character that you help build can benefit schools, home life, later life-skills and society in general. It is easy to see that the students are having fun and gaining self-confidence while learning how to protect themselves. I encourage any parent focused on anti-bullying or leadership skills to enroll their young children in your school. Thank you for the skills you are teaching my son.” – Ross, Woodbridge Ontario

Max feels at home training here!

“ I’ve been training at Takedown for just over a few months now. So far it’s been a great experience! The staff here is amazing, Gianfranco really knows his stuff. And the people that go here really make it feel like a family, more than a gym. And that’s what I like about it. “ – Max Broyda, Maple, Ontario

Didn’t know anything about Martial Arts or Fitness

“I’m a Takedown member, and I’ve been here since the beginning. I train in the conditioning and muay thai kickboxing classes. When I first started, I didn’t know anything about martial arts or fitness. Thanks to Gianfranco, I’ve reached my goals. I’ve gained strength, endurance and great technique, my body has never looked so great. The training I received at Takedown is the best. We are like a big family, the atmosphere is amazing and everyone is always willing to help. I recommend Takedown MMA to anyone.” – Nicola Schiracci, Woodbridge, Ontario

Lost 20 Pounds!!

“Takedown is my home away from home. Everyone here is very welcoming and supportive and they have become like family to me. I’ve been training at Takedown since it first opened and I absolutely love it. Within two months I lost 20 pounds and I owe it all to Gianfranco. He pushed me to work hard and made sure I never gave up on myself. Taking classes here is like having a personal trainer. I used to attend a regular gym but I wasn’t pushing myself enough to get the results that I wanted. Here at Takedown we workout as a team and help each other to reach our goals. I would recommend Takedown to anyone! Come try it out!” – Elianna Voskakis, Woodbridge, Ontario
