Washington State Department of Health info on vaccinating youth

When booking for a small group, you supply your group.  I do not assemble the group for you.
You pay for 4 students.  It is up to you whether you fill those 4 openings.

Q.)  What is the difference between One-on-one lessons and Small Group sessions?
A.)  One-on-one lesson: the child receives 100% of the instructor’s attention and the most amount of work is accomplished.
Small group:  with more children the personal attention is divided among the group.

History:
UMA instructor Rob Eis teaches several martial arts courses to young adults at Western Washington University. He is a former juvenile corrections officer who taught PE activities to incarcerated youth, and has taught martial arts to young children since the early `90s.  
Children’s program:
I often see kids’ martial arts programs that baffle me.  They say they’ll help you by granting your child a Black Belt.  Or that they’ll give your child confidence against bullies.  Or that they’ll make your child physically fit.  These all sound like very external achievements.

Parents, I would like to give you something different and something real instead of a trophy or the imagery of defeating an imaginary monster. My goal is to teach your child valuable lessons through fun and exciting martial arts training.

These include:

  • Gaining physical and emotional self-control
  • Learning how to process anger
  • Developing laser-like focus and determination
  • Respecting and caring about family and others
  • Overcoming  shyness
  • Resistance to peer pressure
  • Getting the most out of their education
  • Diminishing fears and anxiety

Peace-of-mind and Background checks:
Whatcom County recognizes the need for integrity in government, and its citizens consider government service to be a matter of public trust. Given my work with at-risk teens when I worked for Juvenile Corrections, I take this trust seriously. Juvenile Corrections officers must undergo an extensive application and background investigation process. This process is designed to elicit information to determine character, suitability, and competence for the position.

In order to work for Whatcom County as a Juvenile Corrections Officer I had to pass these integrity standards tests and background investigations, which included polygraph tests, psychological tests, drug tests, fingerprint check, criminal history and driving record checks. I can assure you these tests meet or exceed the standards of any criminal background tests conducted at other martial arts schools.

The results of these tests ensure I have never committed or been accused of any crimes against children.

Testimonial

Before I went to Rob’s classes I was doing Shito-Ryu (karate) for about 8 years. It was a very formal class and not much fun. I joined Rob’s class because I knew him and wanted to try something different. Rob’s classes help you out in a lot of real life situations. They are fun and Rob’s school has a more relaxed environment. The things that I like best is the mat work that teaches you submissions and how to take someone to the ground. All of the instructions that Rob gives in class are very clear and easy to do. The classes don’t go too fast so you are able to keep up with everyone else and not get confused. The classes aren’t formal like a lot of other places that make you wear a uniform, bow or have a certain rank in the class. After each class you feel like you have just had a good workout so you’re not too tired to do other things (compared to) when other places leave you extremely worn out. Overall Rob’s classes are fun, useful, and not confusing.
