Vista Martial Arts: A Work Out For Mind and Body
Physical Benefits of Martial Arts

* Improved muscle tone
* Increased energy
* Greater flexibility
Mental Benefits of Martial Arts
* Lower stress levels
* Higher self esteem
* Emotional satisfaction -- especially if you're taking martial arts classes alongside your children

All of the martial arts Vista classes are individualized. Adults participate at their own fitness level while progressing in skill and technique.
When participating as a family, martial arts provide a unique opportunity for sharing in a non-competitive fun activity. Plus, parents have the opportunity to reinforce at home the life lessons taught in our martial arts classes.
Vista Martial Arts provide an ideal workout for both men and women. Our adult students range in age from young adult to seniors.
Following are some general descriptions of our adult programs. Please don't hesitate to call us with your questions. Better yet, drop in and watch a class!
Basic Program: This is the entry-level membership into our Black Belt Club. It is our complete self-defense and physical conditioning course, which also includes our first three Life Skills: Black Belt Attitude, Respect and Trust (BART). It serves to develop structure and discipline in the life of the student. This membership takes the average student six to eight months to complete.
Leadership Program: This is our "holding area" for those students who have gone beyond the basics and may not yet be ready for full membership into our Black Belt Club. More focus is placed on preparing the student for leadership roles in our dojo, at school and in society. This program also introduces the student to selected martial arts weapons, which further enhances thier self-defense skills.
Black Belt Club (Dream Team): Our school is a Black Belt Academy. Every student's goal is to earn his or her Black Belt and to live each day with Black Belt Excellence. Entry into our Black Belt Club is by invitation only. To be considered a student must possess three qualitites: Black Belt Attitude, Consistent Class Attendance and a Personal Committment (to earning their Black Belt).
You may think of our Black Belt Club as an Honors Program. Students, if in school, are expected to maintain a certain GPA and good citizenship in and out of our Black Belt Academy. The student becomes part of a worldwide fraternity of martial artists. They are given an unrestricted Black Belt Club time-frame (2 to 3 years) to earn their first degree Jr. Black Belt along with an increased class time availability.
This Honors Program also includes:
* Okianwan/Zen philosophy that is supported with personal development and Life Skills Training.
* Original Okinawan forms that will improve strength, flexibility, coordination and self-defense skills.
* Participation in Okinawan sparring that utilizes safe martial arts applications.
* Board breaking techniques to help develop confidence, power and kimi (strategic focusing).
Dream Team students will have access to Special Clinics for andvanced self-defense and weapons training (fee required for Special Clinics).
Masters Gathering: This course is open to all adult students who are in business for themselves, run businesses or who just want to get out of the same ol rut they've been living in. This excellent course is based on the Success Principles of best-selling authors Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) and Rhonda Byrne (The Secret). It is truly a remarkable experience.
