Christian Science Monitor features Gracie Bullyproof Program
Recently, The Christian Science Monitor featured a piece by Lisa Suhay - a Hip-Hop Chess Federation partner and a children's book author - about the usefulness of the Gracie Bullyproof program for kids dealing with bullies at school, as well as herself, a grown woman dealing with volunteering in bad neighborhoods and walks home in the dark.
Enter the New "Dragon": MMA's Karate Kingpin Lyoto Machida
The late, great Bruce Lee, today considered the "godfather of mixed martial arts," said it best way back in the 1960s: "It's not the style that makes the man, it's the man that makes the style." Those prophetic words have taken shape some 40 years later with the meteoric rise of Brazilian Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida, the Shotokan-based black belt who's the first fighter to successfully apply karate techniques in MMA competition.
"During Parent-Teacher conferences last week, my son's teacher asked me what we were doing to creat such a positive change in him. She said in over twenty years of teaching she has never seen such dramatic improvement in a student's behavior and focus in such a short time. We've been seeing the changes at home also. The only thing we've done differently is enroll him in Mr. Baldwin's martial arts program." --Anke Swartz
