Sanguinetti Sensei's relieves parents from this natural fear by explaining to them that children with the correct instruction in the martial arts not only will become less susceptible to fight, but because the constant emphasis on the moral aspects and the physical nature of the Arts taught at the Bushikan Dojo, children will become better citizens and better athletes.

Sanguinetti Sensei's own daughter, Nicolla, is clear proof of his statement. He has taught martial arts to Nicolla since she was 3 years old, and now at the age of 17, Nicolla is not just an accomplished practitioner, but she is an excellent student at her high school. In academics, she maintains a 4.0 GPA, meanwhile in sports she always qualifies for the teams that she tries out for because of the natural physical abilities that she has developed from the martial arts.

"I have trained Karate for over twelve years. I am now 17 years old and I can see how it has helped me. I love playing sports, especially soccer. I play the position of goalie. To be a keeper you have to be quick on your feet, clear headed, and have really good reflexes. Karate gave me those skills. I know that Karate has helped me become who I am today. I am disciplined and patient. I have also learned respect;. I respect my elders and those trying to teach me what I don’t understand yet. I am still training and at 15 I obtained my Shodan (black belt) rank. Karate has taught me to respect all those who respect me and to take each day at a time. I’m in no hurry to grow up. That day will come soon enough".

Children at the Bushikan Dojo not only will learn to protect themselves, but because of this simple new element in their lives, it will be easy to perceive a noticeable increase in their self-esteem. Shy kids, constant targets by 'bullies' at schools, will learn to stand on their own against those types of people. The constant emphasis taught at the Dojo to respect themselves and others will be reflected in the way that they will treat people around them, and more than likely they will be less susceptible to get involved in drugs or gangs. Discipline imparted at the Bushikan Dojo will be a good foundation for children to follow parents' instructions at home to conduct chores assigned to them, as well as homework requested by teachers at their schools.

Adults involved in the practice of the martial arts at the Bushikan Dojo not only will benefit from learning the self-defense skills practiced, but also will enjoy the unique sense of 'family' among the practitioners. The regular practice of Karate allows for an increase in physical well-being, helps to lose weight and provides a good basis for aerobic and strength conditioning. The martial arts can also aid adults in developing a better sense of personal discipline, which can be used to increase mental focus and help reduce stress at work, school, and in their daily lives. Adults can begin training at any age. Regardless of physical condition, sports ability, or age, Sanguinetti Sensei will structure the exercise and training to the individual student.
