 SPRFK COMPETITION TEAM

Meetings were held regarding the SPRFK Competition Team. 

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.
