Mentorship
Today's youths are growing up in an unparalleled modern society, with boundless opportunity. Yet despite all of the wonderful things modern day living offers, it often presents other unforeseen challenges. As our environment becomes more urban and technologically oriented, social interaction is often challenged by smart devices and social media. Children have tremendous energy that needs to be channeled in a healthy and constructive manner.
The traditional teachings by the ancient Chinese and Japanese masters is a great way to help your child to learn to focus, and to build critical thinking and social interaction skills. This starts with having the right kind of teacher. Having a clear set of standards of behavior and goal setting, helps a student and teacher bond where they can thrive. The founder of The Martial Arts Academy of Marin, Will Yturriaga has remained close to his Sensei since 1987, often seeking his counsel. This proper master-apprentice relationship fills critical gaps we all need in today's institutionalized society, where personal mentorship can make all the difference.
