Swaine Flu Prevention

By now must of you have heard that the Swine Flu H1N1 has hit Doral. Doral Academy Charter Middle School and High School have been closed down for decontamination. The school board and the City of Doral have taken control of the situation. So there is no need to panic or worry. Some people will panic and others will continue to live their lives and accomplish their goals. At Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense we chose to continue our life as normal with just a few added precautions to protect our students and family. FEAR is False Expectations Appearing Real. Also keep in mind that as usual the media is hyping the H1N1 flu. The common flu has cause more deaths than this one. Below are the steps that we are taking and asking you to take.

 

We always have a professional cleaning crew come in on the weekend to clean our school. We also clean, disinfect and vacuum our school daily.

 

Drink lots of water and eat healthy to keep your immune system strong to naturally combat the flu.

 

Take a vitamin and mineral supplement, vitamin C, garlic and Echinacea.

 

Go to the beach get lots of sun light and go in the water. Sunlight strengthens the immune system. The beach’s salt water cleanses the body.

 

Exercise, when you exercise your immune system stays strong.

 

Avoid at all costs traveling to any known parts of the world that are infected.

Cleanliness is going to be your new motto until this whole mess passes by. Wash your hands in hot water for more then 20 seconds.

Avoid touching your mouth, eyes, nose, or any open wounds. This will only heighten your chances of the flu entering your body. If you do touch wounds or those body parts wash your hands.

Don’t panic, stress lowers your immune system.

 

 

 

Positive Child Development through Kung Fu

Raising a child in today’s society is not the easiest task. It seems that sex, drugs and violence are constantly challenging our efforts to raise happy well-adjusted children. Today’s children are bombarded with violent movies, videos games and hate music. Their idols and role models are rappers that are shooting each others, athletes that claim that they do not want to be your child’s role model and it gets worse our national political leaders have admitted to doing illegal drugs, the greatest Olympic champion just got photographed doing drugs and more and more baseball players and athlete are being busted doing steroids.. According to a recent survey, two of the five toughest challenges facing parents today are parents feeling deprived of time when it comes to the time that they spend with their kids and fearing for their children’s safety. What is a parent to do? Do not despair the ancient Chinese art of Kung Fu has come to the rescue. Kung Fu can help you tackle both of these barriers to happiness for you and your family. At Anta’s Kung Fu and fitness classes our instructor are positive role models. Your child will learn to deal with bullies, be aware of their surroundings and learn reality based street defense while getting in the best shape of their lives.

 

The origins of Kung Fu began thousands of years ago, when a group of peaceful Shaolin monks were being robbed of their little possession’s by thugs. For self preservation these peaceful monks became the legendary fighting monks of Shaolin. Later as these monks traveled to other countries in Asia to spread Buddhism they taught other peaceful warriors and other martial arts were developed such as Jiu Jitsu in Japan, Karate in Okinawa, Muay Thai Kickboxing in Thailand, Escrima in the Philippines and Tae Kwon do in Korea to name a few. Today a good Kung Fu program will teach your children to defend themselves physically, while developing characteristics that help them avoid becoming a victim of bullies and crime, yet that is just the tip of the ice burg.

 

A Kung Fu child development program will consist of mental and physical martial arts. The physical training of a Kung fu program will give your child the confidence and control to avoid a fight with the school yard bully. A reputable martial arts program will teach your child anger control techniques along with the physical. This will help your child control their own aggressions and find other, more appropriate, ways of releasing their emotions. Kung Fu teaches a child to develop the concepts of short term and long term goals in their quest for the coveted Black Sash. It will teach a child self confidence, self assurance, poise, agility, awareness and the ability to control stress. Kung fu will help your children avoid situations that may cause them to become a victim of violence. All this will teach them to become leaders, not followers.

 

In a time of when musicians, athletes, our nations leaders and Hollywood  stars have become your child’s role model there isn’t a better role model then the wise old Shaolin monk. Better yet begin a Kung Fu program with your child and you too can become your child’s hero and role model. The ancient Chinese art of Kung Fu can change your child’s life for the positive.
