Champions are Goal Oriented!
Nobody becomes a Champion in the Martial Arts (or anything else) by accident!
Black Belt Champions learn very early, the value and power of Goal Setting.
The Martial Arts by nature, is a very goal oriented system for learning and progressing. As soon as you earn your White Belt, you begin a magnificent journey of step by step learning
that is a series of short range, mid range and long range objectives.
The belt system, which is prevalent in most arts, is like a step ladder to success. Each step
is like laying a brick in the construction of a future Black Belt. Once the coveted Black Belt
is attained, there continues to be various degrees of a higher level to strive for.
It's exciting, motivating and extremely inspirational to pursue a series of goals that bring out
the best in you. Especially when their achievement is helping you to become a better person that is making a positive difference in the lives of everyone around you.
The pursuit and achievement of meaningful goals goes hand in hand with success and happiness. Watch the face of each student as they wrap a Black Belt around their waist
for the first time...it's pure joy, excitement and happiness.
If you want to pave your own road to happiness, set goals that will make you happy.
People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.
-- Earl Nightingale
You become successful the moment you start working toward a worthwhile goal. The
journey to Black Belt helps to sharpen your awareness and allows you to train and develop habits and attitudes that have a positive influence on all areas of life.
Goals we set, are goals we get. A goal that is properly set is halfway met.
Think it, ink it. Once you decide what you want, it's important to write it down. This one
simple action often begins the process and will lead to greater success and achievement.
Written goals provide clarity and they remind you of the purpose behind your action.
ACTION T-N-T=>TODAY NOT TOMORROW.
- Take a few minutes to write out the primary goals you would like to achieve in the next
6-12 months. There are never any limits on how many goals you have, provided you put
them in order of priority.
- Decide what actions need to be taken this week, followed by actions you are going to take
today. Take some action everyday and track your progress. Stay on course, stick to it!
This is Peak Week at the dojo, also known as Exam Week. We call it peak week because
peak performance is always in the air when people are ready for promotion to their next
rank. Check the calendar of events or call our front desk for exact times.
If you are being promoted this month...good luck. If your not, chances are good you know someone who is that could use your support. It's so easy to support your team mates and
dojo, simply by showing up on Exam Night.
You'll always see great Martial Arts Demonstrations and a positive spirit and energy level.
Bring someone with you to expose them to the Martial Arts. Who knows? You may have a new training partner or a friend with even greater common interests.
August is sizzling and the actions amongst our team is rocking. It's always great to
see people training hard and keeping themselves in top shape. Young or the Not-So-Young,
the Martial Arts continues to be one of the fastest growing ways to get in shape and stay
in shape....mentally as well as physically.
Most people grow bored with the gym. Being a life long gym rat, I see people all the time
wandering aimlessly from machine to machine, with little to no guidance or coaching.
That is one of the reasons why the Martial Arts is good for people of all ages. You always have a coach, in most cases, a team of advanced level leaders that are eager to
help you to get to the next level.
It's a year round "fitness with a purpose" approach toward positive self development.
Another thing I hear frequently, is the need to be encouraged and directed toward a
specific goal or objective. This is why our dynamic team of highly trained instructors are always providing feedback and setting goals with each student for their next level of progress.
Are you on track with your fitness goals and objectives?
Are you keeping yourself at a healthy weight that looks good and feels good to you?
Is your energy and endurance at a level that allows you to do more everyday?
Are you on a good stretching regimen that is keeping you flexible from head to toe?
All the more reason to stay on track with your Martial Arts training and fitness goals.
I hope your summer is going well and your fun factor is at a level 10 as well!
Train Hard...Enjoy the Rewards!
Osu,
Kyoshi
