DOVER, NH – Girls Scouts from all over the Dover area learned ‘Defense Against the Dark Arts’ from Master Randall of Matt Randall’s Black Belt Academies during their annual Summer Camp. The annual summer camp was held on Saturday, May 21, at Lion’s Camp Pride in the beautiful rustic wilderness of New Durham, NH.
Almost 250 girls representing the Girl Scout troops of the Dover area spent the weekend doing all sorts of fun activities that centered on a Harry Potter theme. They learned herbology, astrology, and defense against the dark arts. Senior Master Instructor, Matt Randall, taught the girls how to protect themselves from ‘dementors’ and ‘you-know-who’ by developing greater self-confidence and using their communication skills, as well as developing personal power through kicking and punching drills.
“In our classes, we teach leadership and life skills above physical skills. I taught the girls how to develop confidence through understanding communication and allowed them all the opportunity to practice being a leader. Along the way we learned some speed and power through punching and kicking drills.” Says Master Randall, “But, what I really hope they remember from the class is how to use the four aspects of communication to become leaders in their troops, their classrooms, and their communities.”
Matt Randall’s Black Belt Academies have been serving the Seacoast’s self-defense and fitness needs since 1987. We specialize in creating leaders who are strong, confident, and disciplined. For more information or questions about our academies, please visit www.mrbba.com.
