  • Be Thankful

    It seems like there's always an "issue" to deal with in our home. And so, we end up feeling like we're constantly playing catch up or barely able to take a break. This is why it's even more important to find something—anything—to appreciate. It will literally make you more healthy! Here's why it's so important to dig deep and find things to appreciate: the more you focus on what you're grateful for, the better you can feel. It's that adage of, "Well, it could be worse..." Sure, things aren't going great right now, but there is always something to appreciate in every circumstance. Did it suck that your package got lost in the mail or that you got in a car accident? ....

    Beware of Labels

    We often label kids—stubborn, loud, grumpy, rude, short attention span, disrespectful, mean, —as if these traits are inherent in them. People often say or think to ourselves, "He's so grumpy," after a cranky morning, "You're rude!" when they say something mean, or think "Why is she always so crazy?" "Why don't you ever listen?" As innocent as these thoughts and statements might seem, they are dangerous: We label the child, instead of the action. Calling or thinking of a child as "stubborn" reinforces the idea that they—as a person—are stubborn, when really, it's the behavior that was challenging. Even if you know they are not stubborn 24/7, labeling them as ....

Teresa Reed

I want to give Good's ATA Northwest Martial Arts a 5 out of 5 review! When I visited (several times), I was so impressed with how Mr. Good conducted the classes. I am a Master's level psychologist and behavior specialist, and what I witnessed was a delight! Everyone was engaged and having lots of fun - while learning and practicing their skills. I loved how positive Mr. Good was in his management of the classes. The music was up, and the children were practicing their kicks by trying to keep balloons in the air! I witnessed one Time Out incident, which was TRULY a Time Out from Reinforcement, which is rarely seen. When a boy misbehaved, Mr. Good simply stopped the music and told everyone to "freeze" for 10 seconds. No one - including that boy - wanted to miss out on any of the fun! The music was turned back on and everyone continued. He didn't need to even say anything to the boy. Also, Mr. Good emphasizes Bully Prevention and talks to the children - encouraging them to behave well at home, in addition to showing respect at the school. VERY well run!

Good's ATA Martial Arts is a family-centric school that teaches Taekwondo to people of all ages and levels. It was an amazing experience for both me and my daughter to take classes taught by, or under the instruction of, Mr. Good. I don't live in the same area anymore and really miss going! I recommend this place to anyone interested in learning martial arts or just looking for a fun, healthy way to get great exercise!

We came for Kids in Power 9 months ago, and I absolutely love the power it has given my son. He never sticks with anything for long, a few times and he is ready for a change. The instructors are amazing; they don't just teach, they educate, and help you understand.

The gratitude I have for this place is immeasurable, they are the best!
