United Martial Arts Centers: 5 Ways to Boost your kids nutrition (Without them even knowing it)
Struggling with a picky child? Odds are, you’re not alone! Between texture, taste and simply a desire to assert their own “free will,” it’s tough to get the good stuff into your kid’s daily nutrition.
Good news! Many Isagenix® products are the perfect supplement for your kid’s nutrition! So, if Johnny snubs his nose at broccoli during dinner or Jane really doesn’t want to eat chicken, you have a few choices you can add to their routine to make sure they’re making up for some of the nutrients they’re likely missing.
Here are five nutrients your children should be getting daily and a few tips to help you add more nutrition to their daily routine:
1. Protein. Their bones are growing and so are their brains so protein is a critical component for their future. Add half of a protein-rich Creamy Dutch Chocolate IsaLean® Shake to their after-school routine or hand them half of a Chocolate Cream Crisp or Natural Oatmeal Raisin IsaLean Bar before they head to their sports practice to feed their bodies the nutrition they need while giving them the yummy flavors they crave.
2. Fruits. Sometimes it’s hard to fit 3-5 servings of fruit into a kid’s daily nutrition routine. For those “tough” days, mix a scoop of IsaFruits® into juice, shake it up in a bottle of water, or toss it in to your child’s Creamy French Vanilla IsaLean Shake. Just one scoop is equal to the antioxidant power of 33 superfruits that were cold pressed to maintain their nutritional integrity.
3. Greens. Since the dawn of time it seems like kids have found a way around eating their
vegetables. With cold and flu season quickly approaching, making sure they get enough healthy, dark, leafy greens is critical for boosting their immune systems. If they’re not getting the recommended daily servings, as shared on ChooseMyPlate.gov, consider adding a scoop of Isagenix Greens!™ to their water or IsaLean Shake for a refreshing, healthy boost. The mix contains antioxidant-rich ingredients such as ginkgo biloba leaf, green tea extract and grape seed extract to help fight off free radicals, which can potentially endanger your cells and weaken your immune system.
4. Fiber. Good health begins with a healthy digestive tract. By ensuring your child’s intestinal flora are at a right balance, you will be setting their immune system up for success. If they’re struggling to eat whole grains as recommended, try incorporating one FiberSnacks!™ bar. Featuring prebiotic soluable fiber and insoluable fiber along with drizzles of chocolate or the crunch of almonds, this gluten-free, tasty treat takes care of your concerns while feeding their tummies with exactly what they need. FiberSnacks! are available in Peanut Chocolate Chew or lunch box-approved, peanut-free Honey Almond Crisp.
5. Zinc. One of the best ways to keep your child’s immune system strong is making sure that zinc is incorporated into your kid’s nutrition. Zinc is an essential mineral that is naturally present in some foods, but we’re often lacking the amount our bodies truly need to function at their utmost. Just a few sprays of Isamune® with Zinc before your kids head out the door for school will give them one more way to get their daily intake if they somehow missed the memo about consuming chocolate, pumpkin, squash and other zinc-rich foods every day. The formula also features Reishi mushrooms, bovine colostrum, delivering immunity support with immunoglobulins, proline-rich polypeptides, and lactoferrin. Together, these proteins act to provide super-enhanced support to your immune system.

United Martial Arts Centers: Why I follow BM Kim
Why I follow the Teachings of Grand Master Byung Min Kim
By Edmund Ciarfella
The number one reason I follow the teachings of Grand Master Kim is that I am his student. I have been a student of Grand Master Byung Min Kim for 35 years
He is my mentor, Master and Taekwondo Father. He has impacted my life with positivity and empowered me to share his knowledge with others to help them reach their full potential in life. He has giving me the opportunity to teach Taekwondo for a living and do what I love for a way of life.
Grand Master Kim's teaching can be broken up into 6 major areas
Taekwondo Physical Training
I feel that Taekwondo training is the best possible way to stay physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally healthy. My number one goal in life and the thing I am most grateful for is my health. I enjoy the fact that the physical training incorporates and necessitates your mental, spiritual and emotional focus to enable you to benefit 100%.
Conversely, by focusing 100% mentally, spiritually and emotionally your physical training benefits. UM and YANG.
It's also FUN!
Taekwondo allows my family to have a lifestyle that we all share and a common bond that brings us closer together.
We have the honor of sharing Taekwondo with our students and making a positive difference in their lives every day.
Meditation
Meditation gives me the opportunity to quiet my mind, develop peace and happiness. When I sit and meditate I am calm and undistracted by the outside world. When thoughts arise they are limited to only what is most important and needed to be addressed
I love to meditate and have been practicing for almost 40 years. Grand Master Kim has helped guide me so I can develop a deeper understanding of meditation.
Green Tea
Drinking green tea gives me time to be present with people I love and care for. I really enjoy the "Tahdo" experience, making the tea and sharing it with others
I drink it because it has many health benefits, such as cleansing my internal organs, lowering the risk of cancer and heart disease. I also love the way it tastes and it makes me feel great too.
Eating Healthy/Fasting
Eating foods that are good for you and help you stay vital are key to a healthy lifestyle.
Fresh Fruits and vegetables and plenty of water every day will keep your body healthy. Eliminating meats and processed foods are the next step.
Fasting allows the internal organs to have a rest for the day and always gives me a deeper appreciation for the taste of foods and their preparation.
Peaceful mind, forever happiness and Positive mental attitude
I have met many martial arts Master and Grand Masters in my life and I have yet to find one who is so focused on helping others attain the most important aspects in life, Peaceful mind and happiness by developing a positive mental attitude by using Taekwondo training as the vehicle.
"Success is not the key to happiness, Happiness is the key to success" Buddha
Leadership, Experience, Vision. Passion, patience and Love
Finally, to become a great leader you must be a follower and supporter. But you need to have someone with life experience, vision, passion and love to follow. I feel Grand Master Byung Min Kim embodies these attributes and leads by being a great example.
He lives a life where "everyday is training"
I know that he wants only the best for me and my family. I trust him. I am loyal to him. I will always be his student and I am grateful and appreciate everything he has ever done for me and continues to do for me. I will always to my best to honor him and be the best student I can be.

United Martial Arts Centers and Respect
Subject: What I Have Learned About Respect and Courtesy at UMAC
What I Have Learned About Respect and Courtesy at UMAC
I find that, for me, the classes and the way of being at UMAC paint a picture of what respect and courtesy look like. Respect and courtesy seem, to me, to be two concepts that have slowly, almost, imperceptively, become devalued over time in our Western culture. They seem to have become replaced with concepts like standing up for yourself and getting ahead.
One of the online definitions of respect that I found is 'a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities or achievements'. I found it next to impossible to find a definition of respect that didn't start with the phrase 'a feeling of', somehow implying that we are only required to respectful when we feel like it.

I found it next to impossible to find a definition of respect that didn't start with the phrase 'a feeling of', somehow implying that we are only required to respectful when we feel like it.
Then I looked up courtesy. The online definition that I found was 'the showing of politeness in one's attitude or behavior towards others'. I would agree with that definition. The problem, though, the way I see it, is that if your attitude is, in part, based on this idea of being respectful when you feel like it, then your behavior may or may not be polite. "Self centered' is a phrase that comes to mind.
So, I went back to the definitions of respect and I found one I liked better, from Urban Dictionary, of all places, which is not rated G, by the way. This person defined it this way:
"It means valuing each others points of views. It means being open to being wrong. It means accepting people as they are. It means not dumping on someone because you're having a bad day. It means being polite and kind always, because being kind to people is not negotiable. It means not dissing people because they're different to you. It means not gossiping about people or spreading lies".
That's the one. That's the definition that I like. Inherent value. Accepting people the way they are. Being kind is not negotiable. Then to carry it out to courtesy, a person's attitudes and behaviors with then be solid and consistent.
So how does this all tie in to what I've learned on the subject at UMAC? Well, for starters, these are concepts that are valued enough at UMAC that we are constantly called to question them and work on them. The classes at UMAC really paint a picture, both for me and for my children, of what respect and courtesy are when they are actually being played out, which they are, unapologetically, at all times.
To put it in the Christian terms that I grew up with, the apostle, Paul, said 'Submit to one another'. We, in our modern Western culture, somehow have been swayed to think that if we humble ourselves to another person, that we are somehow devaluing ourselves or offering ourselves up as inferior. At UMAC, there is always opportunity to tweak that way of thinking. It's really great to be really clued in to what a more powerful choice being genuinely respectful is. It does have a positive effect on communication and dynamics with other people. And in addition to that, it also teaches you to be respectable, non-negotiably kind and consistently accepting of yourself. Who couldn't use more of that?
