Find Out Why Anderson Martial Arts SKILLZ Program Is Gresham/Troutdale’s Premiere Facility For Your Child’s Development Success!
If you’re like most parents you’ve probably experienced moments where you’ve asked your child to do something and it took you a few repeats to get them to finally do what you’ve asked. Maybe you’ve sat around wondering, if my child is having a hard time listening now, how will I deal with other issues as they arise?
Have you ever experienced any of the following:
- Having to ask your child more than once to do something? You’ve asked them to clean their room, but getting them to turn off the tv and do what you’ve asked them multiple times is like pulling teeth.
- Getting your child to focus on a given task? It’s time for them to do their homework, but all they want to do is play. Perhaps you’ve asked them to get their books and assignments out, but instead, they have their toys all over the living room floor.
- Making sure your little one is paying attention when you’re trying to explain something? You’re trying to have a serious conversation about crossing the street or strangers, and all they can talk about is how bobby picked his nose at school then ate it. Ever been there?
- Low Self Esteem? Maybe your child just doesn’t seem motivated or they’re having a hard time believing in themselves. Perhaps they don’t feel they’re good enough or better yet, they’ll never get good grades because they just aren’t smart enough.
- Having your child act out at school or in public? Have you ever received a phone call or email from a teacher saying your child was acting out in class or playing to aggressively at recess? Maybe you’ve been pulling your hair out because you can’t get your kids to get along at home and not fight.
Trust me, YOU’RE NOT ALONE.

So many parents that come to us suffer the exact same struggles. Many of them were at a point where they didn’t know what to do or how to help. Truth is, we all want the absolute best for our kids, we want them to succeed, set goals, feel great about themselves but sometimes we as parents need help. Sometimes having a great support system and a team to work with is the answer. Have you ever heard someone say how amazing their child is and all you could think was why not my kid?
We Can Help!
We’ve seen all different types of students, we have even had that “amazing” kid in class. Guess what, that amazing kid WAS amazing, but what their parents didn’t tell their friends was that their child had low self esteem. They were a great listener, could focus on anything and everything, but had a hard time with believing in themselves.
We use the SKILLZ Dynamic Martial Arts Training program for our Kids Programs
This program addresses kids at their specific ages, their specific stages of development and teaches them what they can learn at that point. Program designer, Prof. Melody Shuman, has spent two decades of research and laid four specific areas of child development, the ages they work best together in, and designed the teaching program in that manner.
The four areas of development are: intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally.
The specific age groupings are: 3-4 years old, 5-6 years old, 7-9 years old and 10-14 years old.
Program founder, Melody Johnson, describes the program: “Once I understood students’ stages of development, I proceeded the meticulous task of creating
curriculum through what I call a “reverse training concept.” I selected the top eight skills (or SKILLZ as I refer to them) that children were accustomed to in their particular stage of development, and then built a martial arts curriculum for each of those skills.” EACH age group has its own curriculum!
With the SKILLZ program we will be able to match the right curriculum with each child’s stage of development. This enables us to provide for you a Lamborghini value program, not just a Cadillac one. The difference IS that good.
