Excuses

2010-04-29T08:51:00.001-07:00

Very few people are able to go through a day without making an excuse. Most people do not want to admit when they make a mistake. After reading this post, we hope that you will take a different approach when it comes to why a task, assignment, or any type of project is not completed.

First, let’s start with the reason why people give excuses. People give excuses because they do not like to look stupid. People also give excuses because they just simply forgot to do something. People also give excuses because they have a hard time admitting they are not perfect. The problem is people do not understand that others have more respect for those that are honest.

If you can learn to admit your mistakes rather than give excuses, you will become more successful faster. Successful people admit when they make a mistake and try to learn so it will not happen again. This is the major difference between people that are successful and people that are close to forty and have nothing to show for it. So, how do we change? We are going to find out.

The first step is to start holding yourself accountable. Instead of making excuses or pointing fingers at other people, point the finger at yourself. For example, your superiority at work. Instead of blaming your lack of advancement in a company on others, get into work a little earlier every day and go above and beyond what is required of you. In other words, step up your game. If you are an employer, and a staff member is not doing his or her job, take a look at your management skills. Have you trained them efficiently? How is your communication with your staff? Take a look at the systems they have to work with. Have they been updated? Always examine the situation at hand to see if you are the one that needs to do something differently before making excuses and blaming others.

More often than not, people will point the finger at someone else rather than take the blame. Don’t be that person.

Does your child run your life?

2010-03-10T10:05:00.001-08:00

This blog post could be an eye opener for some parents. In the martial arts we teach the life skills that are not taught in school. The question is, are these skills taught at home? I remember coming from a strict background. There were things I knew I could never do such as, talk while my parents were talking, whine, talk back, or call my parents names (which is something I hear occasionally around the school).

Sometimes when I am in the martial arts school, I am amazed with some parents’ inability to teach their children self control and basic manners. The saddest part of this inability is that it could potentially damage their children for the rest of their lives.

The real world is not easy. When you enter the workforce you find out fairly quickly that your parents will not be in the board room with you, making sales with you and they definitely will not be there to stop your boss from firing you for a lack of production. In other words, parents should keep this in mind when they find themselves babying their children and allowing them to control them. The more this is allowed, the more difficult it will be for the children later in life.

I think my parents did an amazing job in my early childhood. I learned the difference between right and wrong at an early age. I only interrupted my mom and dad a few times before I knew not to do it again. When my parents were on the phone, I never would be loud or ignorant to the situation. I always knew that my house was provided by my hard-working parents. Do your children know that? Or are you catering to their every need? Waiting on your children hand and foot and making them do nothing except come down for their meals you prepared without having to clean up is not helping them at all. It is hurting them!

Throughout my years of being a martial arts instructor and teaching hundreds of kids, it has been hard seeing the kids that needed martial arts the most quit because their parents did not want to “force” them to do anything. “Forcing” a child to learn self discipline, self control, and the other principles that martial arts teaches is one of those things in life that the child will be better for in the long-run. This seems obvious to me, but is something that some parents do not set as a priority.

If your child has ADD or ADHD there should be no other activity that your child does except martial arts. It is by far the one activity that can change your child and give him/her the skills that he/she would not get from other sports and or activities.

If this post sounds like you, do not take offense to it, simply think about your child’s future.

Sad News

2010-01-12T16:58:00.001-08:00

I write this with a bit of sadness in my heart, accompanied by a feeling of relief and sense of knowing that we have done what is right. In the past thirteen we have had the privilege of meeting, teaching and getting to know so many wonderful people. Because of all of these wonderful folks, our school has always been a positive place for children and their families.

Unfortunately over the years we have also had some folks join the school that were not a good match for the environment and culture of positivity we try so hard to promote. When this has happened we have asked them to leave. Luckily I can count on only one hand the number of students we have had to expel.

Today, for the first time in the history of our school, we have expelled a parent. This parent’s consistent negative actions and behaviors were unacceptable and not conducive to our positive atmosphere. We tried to address the issue directly to no avail. The negativity continued. We had no other choice than to ask this person to leave our school. We have also made it very clear that this parent’s student is still very welcome at our school.

Some of you have come to me and complained about this person. You have been heard. I’m sure some of you have a pretty good idea who I am talking about. I ask all of you PLEASE do not gossip about or talk poorly of this person. If any of you have any comments, questions or concerns, please let me know. Let’s keep our focus on the positive. By focusing on the positive we can ensure that all of the student’s here can continue to learn, grow and improve.

Negatvity

2010-01-12T10:47:00.001-08:00

I’m sure all of you who know me are very aware that I am a very positive and uplifting person, or at least try to be. Striving to always be a positive person is a personal mantra that I live by. It is almost impossible to catch me having a bad day. There are several reasons for this…

Years ago, believe it or not, I was quite negative. Thankfully one of my teachers and mentor recognized my shortcomings and helped me to change a way of life that would have surely led to a lifetime of self-imposed misery. There are a few things he taught me that forever changed the way I approach life.

The first thing he instilled I me, and I’m sure many of you have heard this before, is that having a positive or negative attitude is a choice. No matter how bad things get we always have a choice. We can succumb to negativity or embrace everything else around us that is positive.

My mentor also gave me an analogy that has served me very well over the year. He likened negativity to poison. In fact he told me it was a poison of the worst kind. The thing about poison is that a single drop can ruin an entire well. If we look at our lives as our well we soon realize that by allowing ourselves to be surrounded by negative people we greatly diminish our happiness and quality of life. A single negative person can ruin the mood of a hundred people in an instant. We all know these people. They are the ones who cause tension in a room the second they enter. They always have a complaint, always have a problem and always have at least one person they are mad at.

If we want to live happy and successful lives we must surround ourselves with positive influences. Unfortunately in our lives there are certain people we simply cannot avoid. Fortunately there are those we can. It’s not always easy but we must remain diligent in removing as many negative influences from our lives as we possibly can.

I am one of the luckiest people I know! I have been able to turn my passion into a way of life and into a way of making a humble living. I have never been one to need a lot of things to be happy. I have a very modest home, a wonderful wife and a loving family. I also have the Kung Fu school, an incredible staff that I consider to be family and lots of amazing students and families that bring joy to our school each and every day.

Some of you already know, but for those of you that don’t, I am at the school for ten to twelve hours just about every day. I lived upstairs for eight years and even though I now have a house I still feel like the school is my home. As such I have to always be diligent in making sure that the school is a place of positivity, nurturing and growth. I can never allow negative attitudes and influences work their way into the culture here. To do so would be to a disservice to the students, families, staff and myself.

It is fortunate that I have recognized, but unfortunate that l have noticed several patches of negativity begin to spring up lately. I ask all of you, if you are stressed out or having a bad day, please take a deep breath, smile and leave it at the door. If you need someone to talk to, let me know. I pride myself on being a great listener. If you are unhappy with something here, talk to us and let us know what we can do to make it right. Please do not bring negative conversations or gossip into the school. They are destructive and go against everything we try so hard to teach. They cannot be tolerated.

If any of you feel that you may be a negative person and want to change, I have helped many people turn their lives around. Let me know and I will do everything I can to help you. Speaking from experience, once you are able to unshackle the chains of negativity your life will be forever changed.

Benefits for Children

2009-12-16T09:31:00.001-08:00

With the New Year approaching, the need for Martial Arts for children is greater than ever. Thirty years ago there was little distraction for kids, less options, it was simple growing up. Today, it is totally different; kids are subject to much more than older generations were. There is more pressure in children today and choosing an activity is something that few parents have the time to do.

Martial Arts are an individual sport. It is something that will build your child’s spirit. While team sports are good to show children how to work with others, the Martial Arts teach both teamwork and individual practice. Children move at their own pace, train for their own needs, and practice for their personal best. When they want to quit, the only people they are letting down is them.

As your children grow up, they will be faced with many personal decisions. With martial arts training, they will be given the tools to make the right decision on their own. Through teaching self-discipline and character development, Martial Arts groom your child to be a leader. We are not suggesting that your children not participate in team sports, however we are suggesting having your children participate in something that will develop their self-discipline and spirit.

If you would like more information on how we can help your child through Martial Arts training, please respond to this message and we will contact you regarding a free lesson at our school in order to demonstrate how Martial Arts will help your child. Invest in your child’s future in 2010, and get results that will last a lifetime!

As I sit here watching football and occasionally looking out the window two things occur to me.
First, now might be a good time to remind everyone that if Marysville schools are closed due to snow so are we.
Second, I am reminded how lucky I am to be sitting here in a warm house, enjoying football with plenty of food in the cupboards. There a lot of people this holiday season not nearly as lucky. Next time you come to class, please, please, please bring some non-perishable boxed or canned food for our food drive. There is a big red container in the lobby next to the bulletin board. Let’s do our best to fill it. If you are feeling extra generous, and I hope you are, you can also bring an unwrapped toy or gift. All of the donations we go to the Marysville Food Bank. Let’s do what we can to brighten the holidays of those less fortunate than us.

December Yoga/Pilates Schedule

2009-12-01T16:19:00.001-08:00

If you attend any of our Tuesday or Thursday morning Yoga/Pilates classes, be sure to check the bulletin board for the revised December schedule.

ATTENDANCE

2009-12-01T14:09:00.001-08:00

Regular class attendance is key when it comes to learning the martial arts or any other skill.

As a parent it can be tough to juggle all of your daily activities, let alone those of your children. Still, you must remain diligent so that you can ensure your children are receiving the very best.

As much as it is your responsibility to make sure your children attend regularly and on time, it is our responsibility to assist you and make sure we are providing you with the tools you need.

As some of you already know, we have been working hard to implement a new attendance tracking system. This new systems notifies us whenever classes are missed. If we notice that a student’s attendance is slipping a bit, we will be giving a quick courtesy call and sending an email to make sure that everything is Ok and find out if there is anything we can do to help.

This system is still fairly new to us and we expect to make a few mistakes. If we call you or email you by mistake please let us know.

Also, if you know your child will not be in class, please give a quick call or email to let us know. This way we can enter their absence as ‘excused’.

Together we can ensure you child’s consistent attendance and continued growth.

Testing This Friday

2009-11-30T10:40:00.001-08:00

FRONT OFFICE

2009-11-12T12:43:00.003-08:00

As part of our plan to improve the instruction our students will receive, the times that I will be available in the front office are changing a bit.

Starting next week I will be spending more time in the class room. I will only be in the front office for the first and last ten minutes of each class. The rest of the time I plan to spend on the classroom floor.

I will be putting up a sign to remind everyone of this, along with a payment drop-box and a signup sheet for anyone that needs to schedule an appointment to speak with me. An appointment will only be necessary if your questions or concerns will take more than a couple minutes to address.

As always, member service is one of our top concerns. Please remember you can always call or email us with any question, needs or concerns you may have.

TESTING

2009-11-12T12:43:00.001-08:00

So that we may spend more time teaching, testing will no longer be done during class time. Instead, group testing will be held the first Friday of every month at 6:00 pm. Students, families and friends will have a chance to come together and share in the testing experience together.

On occasion we will also be having special events, such as Movies Night and Parent’s Night Out, after testing concludes.

The first group test will be held Friday, December 4th. As usual, children ready for testing will receive a yellow ‘Permission to Promote’ form that should be complete and returned at least one day before testing. If ever you are unable to attend a group test let us know and we can schedule a make-up test.

After School Program

2009-06-23T17:39:00.000-07:00

Summer has just begun and we are already getting questions about this fall's after school program.

Our After School Martial Arts Program is a Fun, Exciting and Educational alternative to after-school day-care. Your child will enjoy staying in shape with Taekwondo and Kung Fu while learning the Life Skills every child needs to succeed. You will enjoy the convenience of FREE Transportation from your child’s school and pick-up times as late as 6:30. We even offer half-day and full-day programs at no additional charge, on the occasional school day off.

We are currently accepting reservations for this fall.

Call us today to reserve your child's spot.
