  • Courage to Speak Up: Helping Kids Handle Bullies

    Courage to Speak Up: Helping Kids Handle Bullies

    All month, kids in our Keller classes at Peak Performance MMA have been working on courage. As October wraps up, we want to talk about one of the hardest kinds of courage for a child: speaking up. What does courage look like when someone is unkind? Our October motto is "Brave isn't never being scared. It's trying anyway." When another kid is teasing, pushing or leaving someone out, the brave choice usually isn't fighting back. It's standing tall, using a strong voice and getting help from a trusted adult. That can feel scary, especially for a quiet child. That is exactly why it takes courage, and why it helps to practice before it ever happens. How can parents help kids practice ....

  • Courage for Parents: Trying Your First Adult Class

    Courage for Parents: Trying Your First Adult Class

    If you have ever watched your child train at Peak Performance MMA in Keller and thought, "I'd love to try that, but I'm not ready," this post is for you. This month our kids are working on courage. Our October motto is "Brave isn't never being scared. It's trying anyway." That idea works for grown-ups too. Why does trying a first class feel so hard? Walking into a gym where everyone seems to know what they're doing is uncomfortable. Most adults worry about being out of shape, being too old, or looking silly. Our founder, Coach Paul Halme, likes to say he was one of the worst white belts on Earth. He started training in 1997 and went on to win an MMA title and a Masters BJJ World ....

  • Courage: Teaching Kids to Be Brave Even When They’re Afraid

    Courage: Learning to Be Brave Even When You're Afraid Courage is often misunderstood. We tend to think of courage as doing something big or heroic—standing up to a bully, facing a dangerous situation, or doing something that makes you look fearless. But for kids, courage often looks much simpler. Courage is raising your hand when you're not sure of the answer. Courage is trying something new when you're afraid you might fail. Courage is standing up for a friend. Courage is admitting when you made a mistake. Courage is walking into class for the first time, even when you're nervous. Courage doesn't mean you aren't afraid. Courage means you don't let fear make the ....

Peak Performance MMA Facebook five star review - Ezra Christensen

Peak has a great atmosphere full of wonderful teammates. No matter what your current fitness level and goals are, you will have support for your work and progress. I've been going to Peak, on and off, for 7 years. The on times make all of life night-and-day better than the off times. I've taken BJJ, Muay Thai, and fitness classes; you can't go wrong. Highly recommended - come see for yourself.
