Fit America for Kids challenges young minds and bodies to get fit
inside and out by blending the non-violent art of Tai Chi with the
balance of Yoga. This multimedia fitness program incorporates nature-related
games, partnered trust-building exercises, a kids forum, a parent
focus group, and an array of physical activity including cardio,
conditioning, and flexibility exercises both effective and fun for
kids of all shapes and sizes.
Appropriate for Grades K - 6

Word
from Scott-
The benefits of this program go beyond getting
in great physical shape. Kids will learn a sense of self-discipline,
inner strength, and confidence knowing that they have participated
in something really fun, challenging, and different. My
experience creating the video and presenting the school assemblies
is that the kids couldn't wait to draw pictures, express their
feelings, tell their parents, and show other kids what they had
learned. This is the magic of the martial and healing arts,
and the Get Fit America program.
Realizing the value of their own energy, and the energy around
them, the kids become more in tune with nature, their environment,
their goals and their interpersonal relationships -- friends,
teachers and parents. And by doing so, they realize that they
are a huge, very important part of the world around them---guided
by what speaks inside of them.
The desire to be loved and to belong, are at the root of all
dissatisfaction. My goal is for each kid to learn to love themselves,
exactly as they are right now, empowering and setting an example
for their peers. By doing so, they will spread the word of health
and wellness at a young age. Once instilled, these principles
don't leave a child, or an adult, and the fair, non-violent,
mentally alert, physically fit, and spiritually rich consciousness
of the martial and healing arts can be a part of their lives
forever.
