Instruction is a good thing to have before you try to drive a car!!

Car accidents happen when people don't pay attention, so be careful.

Careful planning can increase your chances of success in anything you do.

Do what you say you will and you can be trusted.

 

[pknox]

Trusted friends are great to have - especially in a crisis.

 

[Ceicei]

Crisis management (think your way out of the problem) is one of the skills martial arts instructors try to teach their students.

 

[pknox]

Students who strive to always be students make the best instructors.

 

[Ceicei]

Instructors, especially good ones, can make martial arts fun and give you a work out that is challenging.

 

[pknox]

Challenging the body is important for developing fitness, but challenging the mind is just as important if one truly wishes to grow.

 

[Ceicei]

Grow with knowledge and improve with skills are the hallmarks of martial arts study.

Better understanding does not mean better grades, however.

Some people view martial arts as a task that must be done, others view as a fun hobby. Still others view the arts as a way of life.

Life is short, no matter how long you live, so LIVE IT!

IT was a movie that scared a lot of people when it came out.

Out into the dark leaped a ninja master and he disappeared again.

Again, again and yet again just one more repitition.

Repetition of the proper way to do a technique is one key to learning how to apply it successfully.

Successfully learning all the techniques necessary to advance you through the years can result in earning a black belt rank.
