Importance of Teaching Girls Self-Defense

Self-defense is NOT just for boys Everyone deserves to learn how to defend themselves. Self-protection is needed by girls as well as boys. Many people think that girls are fragile and can’t effectively learn to defend themselves. Often times the opposite is true. Girls are tougher mentally and physically than we give them credit for. Girls are at risk of violence equal to, if not more, than boys. Do you have any idea how many physical and sexual assaults are perpetrated against females in the country happen each year? Who would NOT want their daughter, sister, or wife to learn the basic skills necessary to protect themselves?
Self-defense training builds CONFIDENCE

New Training Tip

Here is our Thursday Training Tip of the Week. Understanding how, when, and why do we Bow at Texas Storm Kenpo. Let me start by saying that if you do not have experience in martial arts it might be easy to misunderstand the purpose of a bow as used in our studio and this training tip will hopefully clear up and misunderstanding. In order to do a proper bow a student is to stand at attention and perform a slight lowering of their head and chest. This is not a large or deep motion. Simply stand with their feet together and arms at their side and lower their upper body slightly. Students are required to bow when entering or leaving the school (at the front door) and when the ....

We have several topics that we can speak on at schools. Simply reach out to the teacher and let them know that we offer interesting class chats and suggest a topic from the list. Ask the teacher if it would be okay for your child’s martial arts instructors to send them info through email. If the teacher responds positively, send us the name, email, school, and what grade that the teacher teaches and we will handle the rest. At the end of each month, parents who help us complete a class ....

The Power of Consistency

It’s time again for Straight Talk with Bill. Today we’ll be talking about “The Power of Consistency”. How are you? Hi. I am Bill with Texas Storm Kenpo, here in sunny Fort Worth Texas. Again, we are talking about the POWER of Consistency. Consistency basically means performing certain behaviors on a regular basis without wavering. To quote the site Mission.com,” If you can learn to do something consistently, you’ll tap into a much greater superpower than the habit itself: the belief that you’re completely capable of changing your behavior.” You see, that is part of the “power”. Gaining the ....

How to Be an Accountability Partner For Your Child

How to be an accountability partner for your child.
Hello everyone. I hope that you are having a great day. Let’s go ahead and get started. This is Bill with Texas Storm Kenpo and my subject today is, “Being an Accountability Partner for your Child.” By definition, an accountability partner is someone who is responsible for holding the other person to their commitments.
As parents, a huge part of our responsibility towards our kids is to teach them to set goals and be responsible. Part of being responsible is taking care of the things you have been given to take care of, including the commitments that they make. As parents, we are the ....

Unshakable Eight - Stress Release & Happy Holidays

Walk away from worries
"The rhythm and repetition of walking has a tranquilizing effect on your brain, and it decreases anxiety and improves sleep," says nutrition and wellness expert Ann Kulze, MD. Aim for a brisk, half-hour walk every day. Do less, enjoy more
"We go overboard to please others during the holidays: shopping, cooking, sending cards, and attending every event," says George Pratt, PhD , a psychologist at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla in California. "Instead, take care of yourself by saying no at least once—and maybe more." Stick with your daily routine
Prioritize your workouts, book club, etc., and don't try to squeeze in more holiday ....

Jason Peppers

I have been a part of the Texas Storm Kenpo family since July 3rd. I can truly say that I have found my martial arts home! Kenpo has always been my favorite style.

My original Kenpo instructor was unable to continue teaching, doing things that were not right, and lying to his students. I had to make the right but tough decision to end training under him. In turn, it also ended our friendship. For several years I trained in other styles, but I never felt like a part of the school. I never had the teacher student bond, and I was still angry about what happened with my former teacher. I was Ronin (samurai without a master). I desired to have the student teacher bond and to feel like I was part of the family again.

I decided to call Texas Storm Kenpo. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Bill Piper set up a meeting with me, and I told him everything that happened before. He was understanding but also straightforward with me which is what I was looking for. I knew I could trust him. Bill Piper gave me another chance to finally fulfill my Kenpo dream! All I can say is "Wow, thank you from the bottom of my heart"

Since I have been here, Bill, Heather, Rhonda and my fellow students have treated me as family! Bill and Heather have given me so much in teaching me the material and being patient with me. Again, thank you Bill, Heather, and Rhonda Piper for another chance to learn Kenpo!

To all the students here who haven't been anywhere else, don't leave! Quality instructors with integrity are hard to find. Make sure you show your appreciation for what you have here at Texas Storm Kenpo, and don't take it for granted! We are very fortunate to have the Piper family here!

My 7-year-old daughter takes classes at TSK. She has been attending classes for about 6 months. I have noticed that she is more focused and exhibits discipline. Her self-esteem has grown and her confidence too. She enjoys the challenge of the class and meeting new friends. We are grateful for the Pipers. They have been very good to us and genuinely want to help kids achieve their potential. I definitely recommend TSK to anyone who is looking for a great place to grow and learn Karate.

We LOVE Texas Storm Kenpo!! Before our son joined TSK we went to another popular school in the area. Although we liked that other school I feel like it was way overrated and TSK has been a lot better of a school for our son! Our son has learned so much since joining and not only has he grown as a karate student but his academics and behavior has improved a ton as well. Heather is great with kids and you can tell she truly loves her job. Our daughter who is currently too young to join is counting down the days until she turns 4 because she is so excited to be taught at such a great school. Bottom line is- if you are looking at other schools in the Midcities area, look no further! The instructors truly care about the kids. They also do other fun things like parents night out once a month and they have an amazing after school program so that your kids aren't stuck at a stuffy daycare until u get off work. Our son used to attend the after care program and it was so great! By the time I had gotten off work to pick him up he had already finished most of his homework (would have finished it all but I asked Bill and Heather to have him to his reading with me instead) got a good snack and was already almost done with his karate lesson. TSK is the best!!!
