Mile High Karate provides "Family Orientated" Martial Arts and Personal Development Programs for Children, and Adults in Orange City, Deltona, Deland, DeBary, Osteen, and Winter Park Florida.

Dear Fellow Parent,

I don't blame you. You're thinking, "Come on ... how can karate and martial arts teach wholesome values, like Self-Confidence, Self-Esteem, Focus and Leadership Skills?" Well, I'm here to tell you, in more ways that you can even begin to imagine.

My name is Stephen Oliver, father of a 6 year old Daughter. I'm also the owner (or so I'm told) of a large chain of the most successful martial arts school in America, "Mile High Karate" with locations right here in Central Florida - DeBary, Orange City and Winter Park Florida.

For over 30 years, I've been nurturing children like yours in the DeBary Florida area with character building tools found only in karate. No other sport can match them. In the next few pages, I'm going to tell you how you and your child can sample all of this, and more through our self improvement and martial arts program!

All at no charge.

Watch as your child increases in confidence, focus and spirit. Stand and be dazzled as he becomes unstoppable in his quest for...

Unshakable Self-Respect
Greater Academic Achievement
Increased Strength and Fitness in Both Mind and Body

Look at it this way. Your child's first and biggest challenge comes not from "fighting for his rights on the street, " or "beating up the neighborhood bully." It comes, instead, from battling more sinister forces.

Your child's own fears and self doubts"

"I'm not as smart as John."
"I don't get what my teacher is saying."
"I wish I was as strong (strong, pretty, tall) as Sally.
"Why does Jim keep giving me a bad time?"
"Why can't I be as popular as Jill?"

Question is, how do you get your child to fight these demons? Your child has a tough time even telling you she's haunted by them. Never mind how she might conquer them.

Well, the good news is, I have a proven solution. A program that has already worked for many Volusia County children living in DeBary, Orange Ciry and Deltona Florida.

The “Mile High Karate ” system!

Let me tell you its secret.

To repeat, martial arts are less about your child learning to fight others, and more about fighting, and more about fighting...him-self. His innermost fears. Conquer them, and your child unleashes within himself a powerful, unstoppable force.

A force that gives him the strength to kick down the doors of his own self doubts. A force that opens your child to the exalting power of values.

In other words, when your child uses the self discipline of karate to conquer his fears, he has power to transfer that discipline to all other areas of his life. I know of no other sport that does this better than karate.

(I should know. Remember, I've been studying and teaching it for over 35 years.)

But don't take my word for it...

"Our son, Charlie has for the past couple of years worked very hard in learning his martial arts. Not only has he learned skills in self-defense, but self-confidence, respect and leadership skills to list a few. We have watched our son grow mentally, physically and spiritually."

Mr. And Mrs. Carlyle Valentin, Orange City, Florida

"In the two years plus that Levi has been taking Taekwondo he has really grown. His coordination, respect, and skill level have grown immensely. Levi will make a great Black Belt because he has learned that it takes a lot of hard work and commitment, but most of all he has an awesome attitude! He may not have a lot of natural athletic ability and it takes him longer than most to get his technique down, but he never gives up. He always talks about having his own Karate School when he grows up. He wants to be as awesome as his instructor Mr. Milroy."

Brian Morgan, Orange City, Florida

Now, you may be asking, how does all this "values" stuff work? And why does Karate manage to do a better job teaching it? Again, more than any other sport, our martial arts program gives your child the chance to explore her innate powers. She'll marvel (as you will) as she increases in strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet, this is only the start.

In fact, her physical skills act as a foundation for something much more important: the development of her value skills, mental and spiritual. And not cut off from her physical skills, but intimately connected -- even bonded -- to them.

Like this:

SELF CONFIDENCE :

The "secret" to building a child's self confidence is simply this: "Experiencing Challenges, Practicing to Overcome them, and Accomplishing SUCCESS!"

In our "proprietary" character development program, your child finds the courage to move outside of his comfort zone. He wills himself to take on more difficult karate moves and skills. He becomes no longer afraid of being afraid.

As he does so, he learns that whatever he sows, so he reaps. He learns to blame no one, but himself. He suddenly sees his life as a constant, never-ending journey of life-giving improvement.

In short, with a deep breath, he refuses to become a victim of fate. He puts an arm lock on his own destiny.

GOAL SETTING AND COMMITMENT :

Your child finds joy in improving her physical stamina. She can walk farther, run longer, practice skills until she gets them right. In turn, she learns not to give up. She sticks things out. With the help of her teachers, she strives harder, longer to reach her goals. Even if she fails, she preserves her self respect. She won't let her self doubts get in the way of finding ultimate solutions.

HONESTY:

As the man said, "Where performance is measured, performance improves." Yet, your child has to first accept where he stands now. That means measuring current strengths. Above all, he learns that to succeed, he can't fool anyone, especially himself. This results in a keener focus. He learns to make eye contact with his teacher (and not just in karate) . He pays greater attention to what each teacher says. He knows and accepts where he stands.

“Our daughter’s self-confidence has grown tremendously. She can stand up in front of her class in school and give an oral report of high caliber. At one time, that would have been very difficult for her. She’s been chosen by her teacher to do independent studies. We don’t think she could have done that without what she’d learned in karate.”

Robert & Kathy Lewis,
Lakewood

“Right away, My boy started taking pride in what he was doing. He loved getting better control of his body, both physically and emotionally. He’s a very exuberant child. Usually, it’s a real effort for him to keep his feet on the ground. Now he has no problem. He also got frustrated easily. Now he can tame his frustration and be glad about it.”

Lorenzo Trujillo, Ph.D., J.D.,
Arvada

“My son, Nick, started when he was 7 years old - now he’s 18, a 3rd Degree Black Belt and senior instructor. I am continually amazed at the tremendously positive effect that Stephen Oliver’s Mile High Karate has had his confidence, personal self esteem, and his self direction. He now is a tremendous public speaker and has confidence in front of large and small audiences”

Ron French,
Littleton

These are just three of the powerful, energizing values your child will get from the "Mile High Karate " program. In short, you can look forward to your child developing...

Powerful self control. She'll refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. She'll have a deeper respect for rules.
Improved focus. She'll learn what's needed, along with the skill to "zero in" on critical tasks at hand. Normal, yet time-wasting, childhood distractions won't get in her way.
Fearless self confidence. Watch as your child finds the courage to open any door life has to offer.

TOWERING ROLE MODEL TEACHERS:

As you might guess, all of this couldn't have happened unless I had the very best of teachers. To make sure I have the very best, each of them have studied not just the physical “Art” of Taekwondo, but also have a HUGE amount of education and certification as an Instructor and skilled as a Mentor.

"We could tell the teachers were interested in our boy right from the 'get go.' There's a nurturing that goes on between student and teacher. Maybe that's why they are so successful teaching both martial arts and values." Jack & Sue Davidson

Now I still know what you're thinking: "How can I know for sure the “Mile High Karate for Kids ” program will work for my child? Will learning to 'kick, block and punch' really work for her?"

I've made it very easy for you to find out...

P.S. All this talk of values may have mislead you. Be assured, I do teach karate as everyone likes to think of it. Your child will end up knowing how to defend and protect herself. She'll know how to avoid danger, how to use non-violent conflict resolution techniques — but without once throwing a kick, block or punch!
