Blackbelt
Achievement
The moment any person
puts on a uniform, that person begins a journey down the road to
achievement. The road is neither straight nor flat, but rather has many
curves and hills. These are the challenges that stand in the way of
achievement. With hard work and dedication, the martial artist overcomes
challenges and continues forward with stronger character and greater knowledge,
awaiting the next opportunity to achieve.
Along the road waits a black belt - the symbol of the achievement of knowledge, experience and character gained through hard work. Martial artists understand that it is the accumulation of many small achievements that propels us forward in the journey to achieve great things in life. The dictionary defines achievement as accomplishing something by special effort. Each week the martial artist trains hard and progresses, but it is the special effort that allows the martial artist to conquer the small and large hills and provides the patience when curves prolong the time it takes to achieve.
At the academy, opportunities to achieve are presented as you progress in your training. We know that your journey has difficult challenges that you must overcome. These challenges are part of your training. Achievement is not easy and can't be given to you. You must earn it with special effort. This means coming to class consistently and giving it your all. As a martial artist, you will use your knowledge, experience and character to make decisions both in and outside the class. These decisions will propel you forward on all life's roads you choose. You will be able to complete each journey and to achieve because you are special and because through your training you have developed all the tools you need.

Our aim is to teach our students to strive for excellence, not make do with average and be the best they can be. When students find a particular skill challenging, they must show perseverance in order to overcome that hurdle. Developing this quality will give the child high self-esteem and this is the key factor in all our martial arts programmes. There are
many children’s’ martial arts that will happily give belt promotions
to appease and retain students. We do not follow this philosophy
as it does not build self-esteem and it will only serve in the child
developing a false sense of security concerning their ability to defend
themselves. Please click on the appropriate link below to find out more information on our programmes. |

These classes are held once a week and are a great way to get in shape, stay in shape, or just plain have fun. There is no contact or sparring between participants: It is strictly you against yourself. This is also a great way to meet new people and just get out of the house for a while, or alleviate yourself of excess stress. Everyone works at his/her own pace and what you get out of it is what you put into it! |
