Discover how your child can pick up true, wholesome values from learning to kick, punch, and block! (See for yourself, visit our studio to watch class and receive a free guest pass) Dear Parent, I'm sure you are thinking, how can karate training really benefit my child. You may be thinking "my child can get upset at times and lose his or her temper. Why would I want to arm them with the skills to use kicks and punches?" You may also be thinking, "how can martial arts training teach values and life skills my child can use in his or her young life?" Well, I'm here to tell you all the ways that our program can benefit your child in a positive way. My name is Steve Giroux, Owner and Head Instructor of Giroux Bros. Martial Arts in Newtonville, MA. For 17 years now, I have been teaching children like yours character building tools found only in karate. These tools are not found in other sports. Unlike other programs, we teach our students valuable life skills as part of their program. Not only are students tested on their martial arts skills but each testing period they are required to complete a short homework assignment that will help them truly understand how each valuable life skill affects their life. We take a sincere interest in all of our students and want them to succeed in a difficult world. Have you ever found yourself:
Well, you're not alone! Even though we want our children to be healthy, happy, and confident--they are confronted with an increasingly complicated and difficult world. Our children's program is designed to reinforce strength of character in youth members. While your child’s body is strengthened through exercise, they also learn goal setting, respect, and discipline. Watch as your child increases in energy, spirit, and confidence. A child's first challenge in life is not learned from "beating up the school yard bully". It comes from overcoming something far more dangerous. I'm talking about your child's own fears and self doubts:
So the real question is, how do you get your child to overcome these fears and self doubts? The good news is that we have a proven program that will help your child overcome these fears. Students at our studio will gain confidence as they progress through their belts, truly understand how the life skills taught affects their life, and improve their grades. Our program also teaches students about goal setting and perseverance. Let's face it...life is not easy. We all have been confronted with obstacles in our life. How we handle these situations is what determines our sense of character. I feel that when children use the discipline that karate has to offer to overcome and conquer their fears they will be able to transfer that discipline to other areas in their life. I've see countless children improve their life as a result of our program whether it was in school, social situations, or at home. But don't take my word for it... Steve, On behalf of the Board of
Directors of the Peirce Extended Day Program I wanted to
congratulate you on your ten year anniversary of Giroux Brothers
Martial Arts. It is a testament to you as a teacher and your
relationship with our children to have been able to make this
business successful. Almost everyone who serves on the
Board of EDP has had children take martial arts classes offered by
you at EDP and we all speak so highly of the program. We are
thrilled to have your classes as part of our program’s
offerings. Again,
congratulations. Lisa

"My 6-yr old daughter, Morgan, asked me if she could take karate lessons. I chose Giroux Bros mostly because it was close to my house, but also because Mr. Giroux was so pleasant to my daughter and me when I first called. I have been very pleased with Giroux Bros Martial Arts. Morgan’s lessons go beyond karate to whole life values like self confidence, diligence and respect. Now my other daughter, Devon, studies at Giroux Bros too. They like all of their teachers, the classes are fun, and extra programs are offered which nicely round out their experience. I like that the staff is friendly and approachable. They have always responded promptly when I had a question or suggestion. Devon and Morgan are just completing the Dragons program and will soon be advancing to Eagles. They are both excited and I am very proud. I am also happy that they have learned a lesson that I think is so important: That with dedication and perseverance they can reach their goals! If you are considering karate for yourself or your children, visit Giroux Bros – you’ll like what you see!"
Dawn Woods “Since my son Mark has been taking classes with Steve, I have noticed he matured a bit. He now thinks before he acts, which is a big step for him. Mark is a 6 year old boy who is filled with a lot of worry since my husband who is a US Marine has been deployed to Iraq . He had this constant fear that something bad may happen to his Dad and there are a lot of different thoughts running through his little head. I feel with the Karate classes he has been taking they have made him grow a lot more confident and in return that has given him more confidence in his father knowing he is a very strong and smart man, which has eased his worries.
I also have seen Mark set goals which he has never done, if you ask him what he loves to do he will tell you go to karate and someday be a black belt like Mr. Steve!"

Now, you may be wondering why practicing karate does such a great job in teaching values and life skills.

Improvement in strength, flexibility, endurance, and balance is just the beginning. The physical skills your child will receive from our program will act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of his or her value skills. In our classes, your child will learn about:
