Every mom and dad wants to instill respect, discipline and focus in their kids, but with so many options available today it can be difficult to find the right program. Parents across the region have been raving about the Irwin based Allegheny Shotokan and Norwin Ninjas, winners of the Trib Total Media Readers’ Choice Gold & Silver Awards. AsWestern Pennsylvania’s premier youth marital arts course, the programs are structured to develop positive “character” traits that reinforce strong family values. The award winning classes have been honored for their creativity and unique curriculum developed by certified educators. Gary Klos of North Huntingdon has a son in the school and tells us, “Every class is exciting, and the workouts challenge the kids mentally and physically. I’ve been around a lot of other martial arts and this is simply the best program for my son. He loves it.” The energetic group of students is led by the Viola family; three generations karate champions. Master Bill Viola Sr. has over fifty years’ experience in the adno=6443653 martial arts and has enlisted his black belt family; son Bill Jr., and daughters Addie, Jacque, Ali and Joce to help run the school. Over the past six decades Viola Sr. has taught thousands of students, making him the authority on karate in the Norwin area. In 1969 he founded Allegheny Shotokan Karate, the first martial arts school in the area. Viola Sr., a retired school teacher, has used his education background and years of hands-on experience to help devise a program that not only teaches self-defense and Shotokan karate, but more importantly building character in young people. The Norwin Ninjas emphasize a child’s “SELF” image and uses goal oriented objectives to encourage them. Sensei Bill Viola Jr. says, “We strive to build positive role models. To us, it’s all about building future leaders. The mental focus and determination they learn in karate will carry over to school, family and life. I have seen so many kids improve their grades, behavior, and coordination after joining the class. I couldn’t be prouder of the kids who have graduated from our programs.” In fact Connor Burns and Liz Leaseburg were honored by former Steeler Hines Ward as male and female “Positive Athletes of the Year” for martial arts. Viola continues, “Kids like Connor and Liz are making a difference and epitomize our motto, ‘Building Champions in Life.’” Michael Russell of North Huntingdon has a daughter in the teenage class. He says, “I love that it’s a family run school and not a chain; you will progress at your own pace. They make you earn everything and really brought out the best in her.” Sara recently competed at the World Games representing the United States. Eleven years ago she began as a Ninja, and is now the NBLWorld Champion. Sara’s become a role model for the next generation of Norwin Ninjas. Your child could be next.
