Black Belt Principle #2 - Courtesy

Courtesy - the showing of politeness in one’s attitude and behavior towards others
Courtesy is one of the core principles that separate the martial arts from many other activities. We learn from the very beginning that martial arts training begins and ends with respect. Being courteous and respectful toward others is a good way to make a positive impression on others. In the dojo, we demonstrate courtesy each time we bow
, each time we give a polite greeting
and by giving a positive response
. Saying “ please
” and “ thank you
,” looking someone in the eyes during a conversation are all subtle and proper ways to demonstrate courtesy. ....

Black Belt Principle #1 - Modesty

We all recite the Principles of Black Belt on a regular basis when teaching or training. What we sometimes need to remember is that the meanings behind these words are what is most important. MODESTY
-to be humble with your talent and skills

As martial artists, we are constantly playing with a double-edged sword. One side is instilling belief and building our self-esteem and overall confidence, while the other side is controlling our ego and avoiding becoming overconfident. It is a good habit to compliment others and talk about other people’s positive aspects versus bragging about yourself. Take pride in yourself and believe in your ....

P.M.A. – vs. – N.M.A .
“Positive Mental Attitude – vs. – Negative Mental Attitude” To become a great BLACK BELT
we must constantly condition our attitudes and emotions to remain positive and optimistic. We must train ourselves to keep our minds filled with positive thoughts, ideas and outcomes and to keep a strong belief in our ability to overcome the obstacles of achievement. Consider your options; take the negative route and fill your mind with fear, doubt, worry, envy and anger. How successful do you think you will become if you’re loaded with all those negatives? A positive attitude creates an energy ....

Black Belts Defeat Obstacles

Achieving goals is all about overcoming and defeating obstacles that stand in your way. You need to train your mind and develop the habits that will lead you to success.

Once they identify the problem, they immediately focus on the solution. They keep their goals and objectives very clear by regular review and refinement of the actions that ....

Black Belts are Focused

What is one of the essential qualities you will consistently see in a Black Belt? It’s the ability to stay focused and keep their goal in mind. Black Belts have a clear picture of what they want to accomplish, and this helps them to take the right actions to make their goals happen. Black Belts condition themselves mentally to stay alert and develop a higher level of concentration. They have learned how to turn their mental switch “ON” when it is time to train and have also learned how to turn it “OFF” when it is time to rest and recover. Black Belts are better able to tame and aim their efforts and energies in a positive and purposeful direction. ....

Clarity is Power

The clearer we all become on our goals, the greater our chances of success and achievement. It’s much easier to figure out how to achieve something, once you’ve decided exactly what it is that you really want and why you want it. Most people tend to have foggy goals or wandering daydreams that often lack real direction. They may say something like; “I’d like to lose some weight and get in better shape!” or, “I wish I had more money, maybe I’ll buy a lottery ticket!” Neither one of these statements is very clear or specific, nor do they have little chance of turning into a reality. Martial Arts training, and life, are so much more fun ....

Kokoro

The KOKORO symbol translates into heart. It can also have the meaning of mindset. For our purposes, on the mats, think of it as the mindset that allows you to properly focus and trigger yourself to achieve optimal results. Being pumped up, psyched up and ready to go, is a quality that BLACK BELTS can develop. KOKORO goes beyond this short-term hyperactive state of mind. It is the ability to bring yourself to Peak State on a consistent basis. To do this, you must learn to calm yourself, block out distractions and get rid of any negative thoughts that can sometimes clutter your mind. KOKORO allows you to better focus yourself while aiming your energies and efforts in a positive and ....

Going there for years - great instructors,! Kids are learning a number of life skills - goal setting, discipline, respect, perseverance, fitness, performing in front of a group, how to protect themselves, the list goes on. It's also very family focused. Planned activities throughout the year beyond the dojo classes.

Roy Jewell

I would just like to say what a pleasure it is to train with this family orientated place. From the moment you walk through their doors you feel right at home and you learn so many life lessons I can't even begin to tell you everything positive that happens here. Fun for all members of your family and I trust my family in their good hands, so you can also. Come out and train with us.
