I feel like in order to "start strong and finish stronger" means that you believe in yourself because you can't become better or stronger if you don't believe in you.

It's quite simple in essence, but it's hard to put into action;
to truly believe in yourself without a doubt;
to be confident;
to have a certainty of who you are and what you're doing;
to have purpose.

And why is this important anyway?

Start strong, Finish stronger! Start Strong, Finish Stronger! – A martial artist’s goal is to constantly strive for improvement. – Whenever we do something, we always start our best to give us momentum to finish. – Whenever we finish something, we always finish better than how we started! I feel like to start strong and f...

Fighting to win allows us to be intentional with our heart's deepest longings and desires because we know deep down inside that Greatness doesn't happen by accident.

By being intentional, we face our fears head-on because we now hold ourselves accountable. We make practicing failure a normal and routine part of our daily lives and we can accept the fact that we neither have to be perfect to reach our end goal or place our worth and identity in our performance.

Let's practice Fighting to Win instead of trying not to lose.

This week, we are learning about OBSERVATION

- The power of Observation is one of the best tools for martial artists to learn.
- To REALLY observe you must watch, listen, AND feel, what is important.
- When you observe properly, you can unlock “Secrets” to how techniques are performed and can bring that into your own training.

Trust in ourselves and others allows us to develop a deep sense of belonging. There are some people that we meet and instantly feel that we can trust them. This is because we sense authenticity and sincerity from them. How do we instill this type of Trust in our children?

There comes a moment when we have to make that one crucial decision for ourselves; when the decision to change hurts less than the decision to remain the same. As soon as we make this ONE decision, we simultaneously gain the courage to face our fears and become the creators of our own destiny. In this, we discover that each opportunity we take hold of becomes the world we always dreamed of.
"Everything you've ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear." - George Addair

We become the emotion that we practice everyday. This means that if we feel a sense of lack; feeling undeserving, unloveable, unworthy, and have a "I can't do it" mentality, that is the sense of self that we subconsciously bring about into the future. If we continue to associate negative emotions of our past hurt, suffering, and problems, our bodies become comfortable with these negative emotions because that is all our bodies come to know and when this happens, we naturally gravitate towards these emotions because it's what we are familiar with. Vision empowers us to CHANGE our emotions, our thoughts and feelings, our actions, and ultimately ourselves and our future.

The Power of Vision This week, we are going over the power of vision. We are encouraging students the following in Taekwondo class: Close your eyes and create a vision o

Only when we feel safe and trust each other will we pull together as a unified team and THRIVE. I do not believe you can ever truly know who you are, what your purpose is, or what you truly believe, outside of your relationship with others. Those around us become the mirror that we so desperately need for growth and maturation, that show the honest reflection of who we truly are, so that we can learn to love ourselves and become the best versions of ourselves.

How Crucial is Teamwork? How do we go From Me to We? TEAM WORK is the coming together of multiple persons to collaborate in creating/making and accomplishing a central goal. It is a known fact that (real and pe

What is a Beginner's Mind? As a beginner, our mind is open to all the possibilities and wonder of learning. As we improve and get better, we naturally close our mind to more possibilities. This is why as we continue to train and practice as a martial artist, we strive to keep the same beginner mindset so we don't miss our chances to learn new skills.

Do you ever wonder why when we become too confident we start making mistakes? What is a Beginner's Mind? Do you ever wonder why when we become too confident we start making mistakes? As a beginner, our mind is open to all the possi

Parents! We ask you to help students practice being proud of themselves at home by reminding them the key word, "PRIDE" so they can feel proud of themselves for all the things they accomplished on their own: Doing homework, eating healthy, waking up early, making bed/cleaning room, having good posture, standing tall, etc.

Pride: How we can get children to be proud of themselves This week, we are working on developing a sense of Pride in our students; for them to feel proud of themselves. We will work on instilling the following at t
