Dear Parents,

My name is Master Shick Park, creator of The Impact MAAT. As parents, we all want the best for our children in terms of health, fitness, and personal development. We wish for them to grow strong, excel in sports, and thrive in every aspect of life, both socially and personally. However, we also know that achieving these goals takes time, energy, and commitment. In today’s world, children face numerous distractions and challenges, from schoolwork to social media, which can make it difficult for them to stay focused on their physical and mental well-being.

As a father of four active children, I understand the same struggles you face. Kids today are pulled in so many directions—school, homework, friends, and the constant influence of technology. It’s harder than ever to keep them motivated to stay active and fit. When I was growing up, things were different, but now we must find new ways to help our children thrive in this fast-paced world.

I’ve been practicing martial arts since the age of three and have over 50 years of experience. I've had the privilege of opening more than 25 successful martial arts schools and owning an Orange Theory Fitness franchise. Over the years, I’ve trained tens of thousands of children, helping many become not only successful athletes but also intelligent and confident leaders within their communities. Through my experience, I’ve come to understand what parents like you want for your children. We want them to develop both mentally and physically, to have a positive mindset, and to build the confidence to handle any situation, including avoiding or confronting bullying.

One of the key reasons children struggle in both social and physical development is a lack of movement and exercise. When children feel strong and healthy, they move, think, and act differently. They become leaders among their peers, less likely to be influenced by negative forces. Whether they play football, baseball, soccer, or basketball, being physically strong helps them excel in any sport. 

Martial arts has not only benefited my own children but also countless others who have trained with me. The impact it has had on their lives is immeasurable. That's why created The Impact MAAT, a home-based training program designed to help children develop strength, flexibility, speed, and power, which are essential for excelling in sports and for personal well-being. In just 15 minutes a day, your child can improve their stamina, mobility, and overall fitness. 

The Impact MAAT is a scientifically designed program that focuses on core exercises, plyometrics, footwork, and martial arts skills. It is not only about learning martial arts; it's about enhancing athletic performance and building a foundation for lifelong fitness. With a focus on strength, flexibility, and explosiveness, this program helps children develop the physical and mental discipline necessary to succeed in any area of life.

The program is progressive, allowing your child to set personal goals and achieve new levels of accomplishment. Each milestone they reach is rewarded, building their confidence and encouraging them to push themselves further. It’s a fun, engaging, and rewarding journey that will not only teach them martial arts but also valuable life skills. These skills will challenge them to think critically, make good decisions, and grow into strong, well-rounded individuals. 

I am incredibly excited for your child to embark on this journey with The Impact MAAT. Together, we can help them build a strong body, mind, and spirit. Thank you for considering The Impact Mat  as part of your child’s fitness journey. Let’s begin this incredible adventure today!

Warm regards,
