As we transition into our next rotating cycle, we will be focusing on the Black Belt Mindset of Discipline. Discipline is the ability to do your best, especially during the times when you do not feel like it. To train with discipline becomes especially important when we get into the higher ranks. In the beginning, with the newness of the whole martial arts experience, everything is so fresh and exciting. As we continue on with our training and move up in rank, many of what we learn becomes either a bit more challenging, repetitive or both. Whichever one you experience; it becomes an even bigger challenges to train with discipline. Discipline will play a key factor in your quest towards Black Belt Excellence. Stay tune for next week as we continue our discussion on Discipline.

As for now, we just need to understand, Discipline means “to always do your best.” Especially when you don’t feel like doing your Best.

Thank you all to the kind words and understanding while we had to make some quick and not so easy decisions. We will be open for classes on Wednesday.

KJN is feeling better, however, to be safe he will be out the rest of the week and we will have our wonderful instructors, Sbn Alvita, Cgn Cassian, Cgn Nazin, and Cgn Kathryn running the classes.
