He was very happy to meet everyone and is looking forward 

to another visit in the future

A number of students were able to rank up

with him attending their belt tests

On behalf of Hanshi John he asked us to extend to all of you

what a joy it was to meet every new student and to re-connect

with everyone from prior visits. He appreciates your friendship

and respect more than you will ever know.

This is Zen

Talk 'em down, show you care.
Draw the line, wide-eyed stare.
Low line kick, line of sight.
Light em up, first to strike.
Tie 'em up, take 'em down.
Trap the arm, control the crown.
If they push, then you pull.
Break their balance, time to roll.
Slam 'em down, get the pin.
The one on top gets the win.
Take your time. Save your breath.
One wrong move could mean your death.
You wear 'em out and make it suck!
Have a plan, there is no luck!
The one prepared gets the chance to stand again and get to dance with the ones they love and the ones they hate. You can't fight much if you've sealed your fate.
Live today to fight again. Love tomorrow; this is Zen.

Competition!

       

Having traveled back from our long trip two back to back tournaments from AZ-CA, many lessons come to mind. Super tired and sore from this one I limp with wisdom and compassion. Putting your all into something can be hard, especially when you are battling yourself. Only when you remove the self can you detach from battling with others and rise above it. Understanding where people are coming from or reading in between the lines is a dying art. It requires constant forgiveness for oneself and others in order for respect to become present. I have so much respect for my competition now that it can be hard to feel worthy of competing with them and that is why we must. To win over the self that says it can't is to be true to one's real self. The one that lives and succeeds.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Greatness then, is not an act, but a habit” -Aristotle

      To run a marathon or accomplish any great feat that requires endurance you must train for it from beginning to end without deviating from the outcome. If you deviate, you lose and muddy your chance at success. This I've learned through failure. If you have an alternate motive, you split your energy for accomplishment and that's ok too. :) "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 

 Forgive yourself, for in order to achieve anything takes recognizing that there is an absence of it, a void to fill. Rest, recover and resume with newfound wisdom. You are now a better version of yourself than you were yesterday as long as you learned from it and apply the lesson to future endeavors. Realization is very close to enlightenment. 

Having seen some amazing competitors out there I realize many little adjustments that can be made in order to have massive success. I always learn from my competition and for that I'm very grateful. They help to make me become a better version of myself.

For it is a path of human suffering until you learn and realize the truth. Live in your own joy of realization and you become enlightened in many ways with a fresh new outlook on life.

Results were positive and it looks like we will have a fair sized team forming.

Please remember, even if you choose not to be on the Competition 

Team YOU CAN still compete in any of the tournaments you want to try. 

Also when there is room in the Competition 

Van you can ride along with us to compete, you just have to pay your own way. 

Gas and motel room fee can be pro-rated and you will be 

responsible for your own entry fees and food.

We strongly urge ALL students to attend the USAMA  

AZ State Championships on  April 22nd!! This is a great  

Icebreaker Tournament  that will give every student the 

opportunity to experience Competition!!

We will be holding various fundraisers over the next few 

months to raise much needed sponsorship funding for the team. 

As always all dojo students are encouraged to 

participate and help out when they can.  

This is YOUR DOJO TEAM!

The goal this year is to take the Top position in 

point standings for both the USA/WKF and the USAMA 

Tournament Circuits. If you know of any business; that 

would like to sponsor the team please let us know. 

We can always use gift cards too for eating establishments 

since this helps reduce personal costs.

SETTING GOALS

This is the time of year that people look at their goals for the coming year. Usually we apply these goals to health, school, work, home etc. With the great intention of Improving ourselves and our world.  There is an old saying, “ The road to despair is paved with good intentions” Our New Years Resolutions are usually derailed by self doubt and the simple act of giving up on our intentions and dreams.

Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.

Dare to dream! If you did not have the capability to make your wildest wishes come true, your mind would not have the capacity to conjure such ideas in the first place. There is no limitation on what you can potentially achieve, except for the limitation you choose to impose on your own imagination. What you believe to be possible will always come to pass - to the extent that you deem it possible. It really is as simple as that.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
