GIVING AWAY 30 FREE, 3 MONTH MEMBERSHIPS TO INTERESTED BOYS AND GIRLS

(February 20, 20014) Union City, California – Hernandez Martial Arts has produced Champions in the Ring as well as Champions in Life for over 30 years. Now, the longest running Martial Arts Studio in Union City is looking to make a big impact on their community by announcing the launch of its 5th Annual, Free, 3 Month Transformational Project for Kids called “Transform,” set to begin March 1, 2014 at their Union City Martial Arts Studio.

Co-Owners Bob and Bobby Hernandez, as well as their team of Black Belt Instructors, will work with 30 kids this March, April and May, boys and girls age 6 to 11 and lead them through a Martial Arts Training Regimen that doesn’t support the use of punching and kicking but rather advocates the use of the “SMART” Defense Program for Kids, while instilling Life Skills, Character Traits and Values as well as non-violent Child Safety Strategies and Bully Prevention; and the best part is, this 3 Month Program is Absolutely Free to 30 Kids and they’ll have a blast doing it!

This father and son duo will also lead their team to develop these 30 kids from the inside out through instilling essential character and values so they can achieve better grades in school, improve behavior in their community and at home and give them the tools necessary to succeed in anything they set out to do in life… just like a true Martial Artist while guaranteeing that parents will see a positive change in their child within the first 30 days!

“Fighting is a very small part of being a Martial Artist” says Bobby Hernandez, Jr., “What’s more valuable than anything is the character and values kids gain from their Martial Art experience, then putting it to use in everyday life. Values such as Focus and Concentration for Better Grades, Self-Discipline to complete homework and chores, Confidence to believe in themselves and handle unwanted situation, Self-Control to maintain ones impulses and actions and we can’t forget Respect for parents, teachers, family members and friends. This in itself is what makes you a Martial Artist and this type of training teaches kids that most physical confrontations are unnecessary and can be avoided while developing the skills that are necessary to be successful in our community and in life.”

These 30 children will attend class 2 times a week in the late afternoon / early evenings in a fun, safe, kid oriented environment. Students and parents will have the opportunity to choose days and times so classes will coincide with even the busiest of schedules and students will have the opportunity to earn their first belt rank.

Registration for the Transform Project is currently in progress and will end February 28, 2014 or when the 30 free spaces are filled. 

“Knowing how to defend yourself may help you one day,” says Bob Hernandez, Sr., “but living like a Martial Artist with character and values will help you every day.”
