Not every disagreement is bullying, but every child’s feelings matter.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month!

If your child tells you they’re being bullied, start by asking:

1. What happened?
2. Has this happened before?
3. Do you feel safe around that child?

Listen first. Understand the situation. Then decide how to help.

Save these 3 questions for your next conversation with your child!

Today we had a special karate session — we practiced listening, stretching, balance, and self defense! Thank you to our friends @karateocamaa for visiting our school and guiding us in ways we can get our bodies moving.

Happy birthday to our Shihan! 🥋🎉

As the founder of American Martial Arts Academy, you’ve built so much more than a karate studio. You’ve created a place where students grow in confidence, learn discipline, and feel like family. Thank you for everything you do for our students and our team. We hope you have the best birthday! 🎂❤️

Meet Stephanie & Gary 🙌🏼

If you’re a busy parent who feels like there’s never enough time to prioritize your own fitness, their story is for you!

Brick & Barbell was built to make fitness fit into real life, even in the busy season. While James is in karate, Stephanie & Gary get to work on their own health, strength, and goals 💪

Here’s what Stephanie had to say about joining Brick & Barbell:

“Gary and I are both full-time working parents. It feels really hard to juggle that routine while also having a little one, so we were struggling with our fitness goals initially because we didn’t have a system.

We are so glad we found Brick & Barbell because it enables us to have a system that works with our complicated schedules.

We enrolled our little one in karate classes, and the gym is right next door with flexible scheduling, so we’re not tied to a Monday/Wednesday schedule or a Tuesday/Thursday schedule. We found a place that allows us to live the reality of life, which is needing adaptability while wanting to maintain discipline and consistency.

We have the goal of going to the gym together twice a week and taking classes twice a week as well. It allows us a space where both Gary and I can work out together, which gets us into a better place physically and mentally to be better and stronger parents. It also allows James to go to his karate class and build his own discipline.

We like doing it together because we feel more energized, and we feel more motivated to pursue that fitness goal together as a household.

It’s also energizing to see our little one look at us and say, “I want to be strong like Mom or Papa,” and be proud of the example that we’re giving him.

Having discipline is hard, and not having discipline is also hard, so we decided to choose our hard and find the alternative that works with our lifestyle.

We used to say we were too busy, but that was a choice too. Now we have the flexibility to go when our schedule allows while still keeping to our goals.“

Thank you for inspiring others with your encouraging mindset and consistency Stephanie and Gary! We love having you here at Brick & Barbell 🫶🏼 by @karateocamaa

Happy birthday Sensei Schilling! 🥳🥳 by @karateocamaa

“Okay!” doesn’t always mean they understood.

Before expecting your child to follow through, have them repeat the direction back.

It’s a simple way to make sure they actually processed what you said.

Have them repeat it before you repeat yourself.

Want your child to follow directions better?

Make it easy for them to understand exactly what you WANT them to do.

❌ “Stop running!”
✅ “Walking feet!”

❌ “Don’t yell!”
✅ “Use your Quiet Ninja voice.”

Clear directions = easier directions to follow.

Tell them what TO do, not just what NOT to do.
