*******My How We Have Grown*********
WOW class' have really taken off they have filled with eager happy people learning about Kenpo and Kickboxing. It's just amazing how this school has progressed to over 140+ students in this short time.It has been a lot of hard work and dedication from everyone making this happen. We are truly Blessed
Perspective-Toughness-Life. Every day brings new potential
"To fall seven times...Rise eight... life starts from now..." a quote favored by Karazenpo founder Sijo Victor "Sonny" Gascon...
(What was then WAS...What is now IS)
Training for Victory
Training = Knowing,... Knowing = Success,... Success = Victory !!!!!
Training Hard...and for REAL
It is not enough to throw punches around in the air and Kiai loudly and be satisfied that you can defend yourself. It is not enough to just "believe" that your techniques will work. You MUST train hard and "know" what you are capable of and that your skills are for Real. There are many phoney "Masters" out there who talk a big game but have never even tried to use their techniques on anything but a willing and "respectful" student. Any mistake or malfuntions are quickly covered up usually with alot of talking....... Believe in your technique,KNOW that you can do it,Be Ready to prove it, but Hope that you never have to.
Hard work pays off.!!!
"Success and victory are reserved for those willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve them."------Sun Tsu. This is as true today as it was 500 years ago. So you want that next belt rank ..huh ?
The Three Stumbling Blocks
There are Three stumbling blocks that every Martial Artist must face. They fall in but are not limited to beginning,intermediate and advanced levels.
1. FEAR... of the unknown,of looking awkward,of making mistakes
2. Laziness... not willing to make the sacifices required to
truly advance.
3 EGO.... Truly the worst. Thinking that there is nothing
that you need to learn .It is the only one that can
bring the other two stumbling blocks back.
If a Martial Artist reaches the BlackBelt levels and lets Ego rule them then they will get lazy because they think that they dont have to work hard anymore to stay sharp.But they cannot.And then the excuses start to cover up their shortcomings. So comes the return of FEAR that people will get better than them even if and especially if an Instructor.
These must be overcome to become a true Martial Artist.
