G'day All

I have put together a collection of Games and Drills used by Myself and other Instructors to help teach Martial Arts to Kids more effectively.

www.martialgames4kids.com (http://www.martialgames4kids.com)

The book is designed for Instructors. This is a serious book that can help you teach the skills of your Martial Art to your young students at a faster rate. The games will increase the kids strength, balance, eye-hand co-ordination, stand-up and ground skills.

The games reinforce your normal lessons. while adding variety, they do Not water down what you are doing.

Since releasing this book I have had some great feedback about attracting new students, reviving existing students and a huge decrease in drop-outs.

The book is available as an e-book. I have a small sample in a free newsletter that you can download from the website www.martialgames4kids.com (http://www.martialgames4kids.com)

If you have any questions please contact me.

I wish you all the best.

G'day Mr. Green

Yes, I have used your format for explaining each Martial Game.

The games included in the book are a collection of what I have used over the past 8 years. Games that I have been shown, that other Instructors have shared with me and that I have modified and developed from other activities (outside of martial arts) in an attempt to keep things exciting and progressive.

I was passed on some of your games by a person I no longer train with about 3-4 years ago and I thought they were excellent and well laid out but they did not have your name attached to them. When I decided to formally put this book together last year I did not have a list of names of all the people that contributed in one way or another to some of it's content.

I have unintentionally included some of your games like Crab Fight, shield fight and Black Knight in the book. I can add your name and a weblink to your site into the book as it is an e-book or I can remove them if you would prefer (I hope not as they are excellent).

I apologise again for not knowing who to give credit to and thank you for supplying those games to our lessons, the kids love them.

Respectfully
Aaron Perry

Thank you Mr Green.

I have updated the Martial Games Book with a reference to you and your website www.innovativema.ca (http://www.innovativema.ca) on each page that has one of your games on it.

I will send you a personal copy of the book so you can try out the other games with your students.
