The Black Belt Club

The Black Belt Club
The black belt club is a group of students who have set Black Belt as their Martial Art’s goal, and active Black Belts who have set the next degree of Black Belt as a new goal. It is a team of individuals who are striving for and dedicated to excellence in all aspects of life. To qualify, students must dedicate themselves to Black Belt excellence, demonstrate maximum effort in class and have a consistent attendance record. Members lead by example living up to the principles of the Tenets: Modesty, Courtesy, Integrity, Compassion, Perseverance, Gratitude, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit!


Maintaining your Health and Happiness is Also a Gift to Others

It is easy to feel as if we are being selfish when we take time away from the people in our lives who are important to us to do something for ourselves. But remember that when we do something that makes us happier and healthier this becomes a gift to those who love us as well as to ourselves. With all the demands daily life places on us it is especially important that we replenish ourselves so that we don’t become depleted and resentful. When we refuel our own bodies and spirits we can continue to radiate good to those around us. In our increasingly complicated society, many feel overwhelmed. But this is the very reason that many of our students are so determined to fit their martial arts classes in. Their practice offers them an oasis from their complex lives. When they enter the dojang they have the opportunity for those few hours per week to leave their troubles outside the door and be immersed in the present moment. As we know martial arts classes require nothing less than our full attention!
