Drills are the best way to instill discipline.
Drilling something means you do it over and
over again. You do it until it becomes muscle
memory, emotional memory, and deep in the
intellect.
When we think of drilling we think of the military,
but its actually a lot more simpler than that.
An example of a drill is having a kid say "good
morning" or "good afternoon."
This means that the kid recognizes other people
and respects that another human is in the room.

Tip # 1
Discipline must be taught and cultivated
======
Just like a garden many kids are growing like
wild weeds. As parent, you are the Gardener
and MMA Judo programs like mine are the water
that you pour on the plants.
Discipline must be practiced until it becomes
second nature. This does not mean drilling can't be fun.
Indeed the mark of a good teacher is the
ability to disguise repetition.
Kids have to be able to transfer the skills that they
learn to other areas of their life. It is of no use for a kid
to be a champion in the ring and a loser in life.
That is why the All Star Judo programs
have a holistic approach so that the parents, the
school, and the dojo (gym) all reinforce the same
messages.
In the next part, I will talk more about how successful
drills must effect the physical state, the emotional state
and the intellectual state of an individual in order
to be effective.
All the best to you.
