Teamwork

The martial arts community is about being committed to each other. We all share a passion for the art and find deeper bonds by supporting one another in our goals, whether it be physical or emotional support. Our training partners invest their time, energy and resources into helping us on this journey. We should always show them respect as they go above and beyond, just like you would hope someone else does to you when you are working together on the same team.

Goal Setting

Setting goals is an essential part of training. You need to know not only what your endgame looks like but also how you’re going to get there and when it’s achievable so that progress can still happen, even when faced with setbacks or errors.

Critical Thinking

Martial arts is all about self-improvement and problem-solving. You are encouraged to keep an open mind, ask questions in class and take notes on what you learn for future reference. 

Perseverance

Martial arts is a process, and it’s not uncommon for you to experience setbacks. Learning how to deal with these obstacles can be imperative in reaching your goals as a martial artist. A martial artist knows that sometimes you’ll lose or get defeated – but this doesn’t mean we should apply less effort. Instead, we must continue from where our training left off – which means perseverance will help us achieve better versions of ourselves along life’s journey.

Technique

The beauty of martial arts is that you can use a technique to overcome differences in size and strength. We encourage you to focus not only on being confident but also on developing efficient skills that don’t rely simply on physical attributes like force or other things which may prove ineffective against an opponent who knows what they’re doing.

Focus

To progress in martial arts, you must first learn to focus. Without the ability of attention and motivation on your side, it will be difficult for you to reach any level of success that you may want in your art. But with these things under control, then anything becomes possible.

Trust

The relationships we build with our training partners are the backbone of martial arts. When students feel safe and secure in their ability to train, they’re more likely to be successful at whatever goals drive them forward.
