Bobby Lawrence Karate-Orem

Bobby Lawrence Karate-Orem We teach leadership skills through the discipline of authentic Martial Arts! Developed by Master Bobby Lawrence, BLK is a unique system of karate.

We make learning fun while instilling the valuable aspects of karate training: self-discipline, respect, confidence, and the ability to set and achieve goals. We founded BLK on the foundation that the truly valuable aspect of karate training isn't just the kicking, punching, and sparring- rather the respect and discipline inherent in the training. We put our students first. We listen to you and help you find what you need. Come visit to see what we are all about.

One challenge for your child tomorrow:
Introduce yourself to someone new.

"Hi, my name is _____."
That is it.

For some kids, that feels easy.
For another child, it feels like climbing a mountain.

Either way, social confidence grows through practice.
One hello can be a win.

There is something special about hearing a child use their leader voice for the first time.

Not yelling.
Not being rude.
Standing tall and speaking like they believe they belong in the room.
Your child deserves to have that voice.

The world will give them plenty of reasons to shrink.
Teach them how to stand tall.

🇺🇸 We Remember 9/11.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroes who ran toward danger to help others, and the families whose lives were forever changed.

For our students, many of whom were born long after that day, remembering also means learning. Learning about courage. Sacrifice. Service. Unity. And the incredible strength people can show when they choose to stand together.

These are more than words we talk about on the mat. They are values demonstrated through action.

Today, we honor those who served, remember those we lost, and remain grateful for those who continue to serve our communities and our country.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

How many times did you have to ask this morning?

Get dressed.
Brush your teeth.
Grab your backpack.
Put your shoes on.
We need to GO.

And then... you ask again. 😩

Parents, you shouldn’t have to repeat the same instructions over and over just to get your child to follow through.

At BLK Orem, we teach self-discipline.

That means learning to listen.
Taking responsibility.
Following through.
And doing what needs to be done the first time you’re asked.

Because someday, you won’t be standing beside them reminding them what to do.

Our goal is to help build the kind of young person who can lead themselves. 🥋

Back to school is here. Let’s send them back with more than a new backpack.

Let’s send them forward with discipline.

Coordination isn’t something kids either “have” or they don’t. It’s something we BUILD. 🥋

And the earlier we start, the better.

Martial arts challenges children to make their eyes, hands, feet and brain work together. They learn to listen to an instruction, process it, then make their body respond.

That matters far beyond the karate mat.

Better coordination can help children feel more confident participating in PE, sports, playground activities and the everyday physical demands of school. And as they practice controlling their bodies, they’re also practicing something incredibly important: FOCUS.

Listen. Process. Move. Adjust. Try again.

Those skills build on each other.

If you want to set your child up for greater confidence, concentration and success this school year, martial arts is a pretty incredible place to start.

Parents in Orem, Vineyard, Provo, and Lindon, don’t let your child go back to school without the focus, confidence, and discipline they need to succeed.

A new backpack and fresh school supplies are important, but they won’t teach your child how to stay focused when learning gets difficult, speak with confidence, or keep going when they feel frustrated.

Those skills have to be developed.

At BLK Orem, we help children build strong habits, greater confidence, and the discipline to follow through, both on the mat and in the classroom.

Set your child up for their best school year yet.

Drop the word DISCIPLINE in the comments, and let’s talk about how karate can help your child start the year strong! 🥋

Freedom isn’t doing whatever you want.
�It’s having the discipline to choose what’s right. 🇺🇸

As a parent, you want your child to grow into someone confident, focused, and capable of making good choices—even when you’re not around.

This July at BLK Orem, we’re teaching kids that discipline creates freedom.

● Freedom from peer pressure.
● Freedom from too much screen time.
● Freedom from a quitter’s mindset.

The habits your child builds this summer will shape how they walk into the new school year.

Don’t let them fall behind.

Give them a head start with confidence, focus, and self-discipline.

🥋 First class is FREE.

Summer is the best time to start.
Not because life slows down.

Because kids need structure when school is out.

Over the next two months, most kids will either drift or grow.

At BLK Orem, we're choosing growth.

Our classes keep kids off their devices, engaged and growing mentally, physically, emotionally.

Don't let your child fall behind this summer. If you've been reading our posts thinking "this is what my child needs," today is the day.

We're here for families across Orem, Vineyard, Provo, and Lindon.

DM us SUMMER or text 801 515-4099. We'll talk today.

Fear of failure is one of the most limiting things a child can carry.

Often without meaning to, adults reinforce it.

When we only celebrate wins, kids learn failure is something to avoid. So they stop attempting things they might fail at.
Growth stops there too.

At BLK Orem we teach the opposite lesson on purpose. Failure is information, not identity.

When a student misses a technique, there's no shame. We correct the mechanics.

Explain what happened. Run it again.

No drama. Just feedback and another rep.

This is Kaizen, one of our 8 Values, and it's the foundation of how we coach, how we teach, how we live.

Over time it changes how a child talks to themselves. Instead of "I'm bad at this," they learn "I missed it, I can fix it."

That shift carries into school, friendships, and life long after they leave the mat.

First class is free for families in Orem, Vineyard, Provo, and Lindon.

YOUR CHILD ISN'T LAZY.

They may just be struggling with resilience.

One mistake.
One difficult assignment.
One tough conversation.

And many kids are ready to quit before they've given themselves a chance to succeed. That's becoming more common.

Kids today face fewer opportunities to struggle, adapt, and overcome.

But resilience is a skill. And like any skill, it can be developed.

At BLK Orem, kids learn to face challenges, stay composed under pressure, and keep going when things get difficult.

Because life doesn't get easier. Kids get stronger.

If this sounds like your child, let's talk.
