Teachers open the door;

you enter by yourself…

A very profound statement that I think most people read the words but they don’t truly understand what they mean.

You see, a teacher can give you a lesson but it is up to you to truly understand what the lesson really means. Just not the obvious.

A teacher can give you something to practice but if you don’t practice the way it is suppose to be done……

A teacher is but a stepping stone on your path through life but if you don’t want to step on that stone…….

A teacher is not responsible for your failures if you don’t choose to follow the lessons.

Not taking full advantage of a lesson is like not entering the door at all.

A teacher may open or close the door depending on the readiness.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

I remember watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a small child. I use to watch the cartoons and the movies, read the comic books, listen to the audio cassettes, and play with the action figures.

I use to pretend to be the ninja turtles and making nunchakus out of wood and rope or chain. Working my chuking skills from an early age.

The turtles were a good role model for the young. They fought bad guys and do good for others. They inspired a whole generation of martial artists my age many young students every few years when they come back as a new series or movie.  ANd I am so glad for that.

Martial Arts is an amazing thing that I believe everyone should be taking part in. It’s a way of life that shows you one way of being a better version of you. Through mental, physical, and spiritual training. Martial Arts is a workout with a purpose. It is a way to learn how to face and overcome your fears. You learn how to defend yourself. It always you to see the world in a different light. It’s very zen like.

USBA/WBA HALL OF FAME BANQUET AND TOURNAMENT Part 1

Good Morning Everyone

Sorry for the late blog post today. Just got back from Norwich Connecticut last night at 1pm.

Anyway the USBA/WBA held their 1st Annual Breakers Hall of Fame Awards Banquet and Tournament this past Saturday Oct 26th and Sunday Oct 27th in Norwich Connecticut at the Holiday Inn. Mikaela Lavoy and I were both nominated for awards at the banquet but we’ll talk about that later. We also brought down Charlotte Kerr and Patrick Marvin for the tournament and Mikaela’s mom Amber Gray drove us both ways and was good company.

But this blog is not about that. I wanted to talk about the Hall of Fame Awards Ceremony/Banquet. It honoured many breakers in various aspects like Most Improved Breaker, Dedication to Martial Arts and Breaking, Competitors of the Year Awards, Visionary Award, and a few others. There was also one inductee into the Hall of Fame.

This man was Grandmaster Elton Trower. He is a phenomenal breaker who has inspired many breakers, has taught us about the science of breaking, and is one heck of a competitor. But more important than all that he is a great person and martial artist. I could not thing of anyone more desiring to be the first inductee into the Breakers Hall of Fame than Grandmaster Elton Trower.  Congrats!!

WHAT IS A BLACK BELT?

Is a Black Belt a piece of black cloth you wear around your dobuk or gi while you attend and train in class?

Is a Black Belt a certificate you paid for and completed a few hour grading?

Is a Black Belt a tough guy that can beat up everyone they come into contact with?

Is a Black Belt a person who runs a martial arts school and has students recite stuff that doesn’t matter and expects others to bow down to them?

Hmm…..

I think and I know a TRUE Black Belt is far greater than that.

True Black Belts are;

  • Role models for everyone to follow
  • They are teachers that don’t hold anything back
  • they are the ones that stay calm when everyone is freaking out
  • they are the ones that dedicate their lives to a better way of living
  • They are the ones that look for ways to help out their community
  • They all have at least one area of expertise in their art
  • They are open to many different ideas
  • The are the ones that see the ultimate truths among all styles
  • They are the ones that need to be tough when the time is right
  • They are the ones that are gentle  when appropriate
  • They are stepping stones for their students
  • They are the ones willing to do things that no one else will do because they know what it takes to get to the next level
  • They are disciplined
  • They are artists
  • They are scholars
  • They understand how not to use their physical skills
  • They do not seek fighting
  • They not nothing to prove
  • and this list could go on and on

On Monday May 19th we did our annual team building day with our 2014 Black Belt Candidates.

We spent the morning going over the important taekwondo requirements they will need to know for their grading on saturday June 14th. Then we spent the afternoon at Victoria Park doing various team building exercises that worked on leadership skills, trust, communication skills, getting to know your team mates better, cooperation skills, and other fun activities along that nature. We also worked on getting the candidates comfortable being outside of their comfort zone. We also did some fun patterns and escrima stick drills. It was a pretty successful day. Our candidates will do great at black belt grading.
