Gasshuku is called “intensive training” for a reason!

I spent this weekend training with 40 other karate students for 12 hours over two days—and today, my body has some strong opinions about that decision 🤣

Somewhere between the sweat, repetition, corrections and “one more time” moments, I was reminded of something that has everything to do with leadership.

Our karate creed begins:
“Knowing that karate begins and ends with respect…”
That word matters.
Because respect doesn't mean making things easy.

It means I can challenge you 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 diminishing you.
Correct you 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 embarrassing you.
Hold you accountable 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 making you feel small.
Push you beyond what you think you're capable of, while still letting you know: I've got you.

And that's the heart of Return on Empathy: seeing the human being, while still creating the conditions for them to rise.

As I head into this week's Empowering Women in Industry conference to speak about ROE, I'm taking that lesson—and a whole lot of sore muscles—with me🥋🔥

What is the youngest age for a child to start martial arts? I first started teaching children as young as 3 years of age in what I call the Knee-High Samurai Program. Since then, what I share in this blog is a very defined and refined early-age education martial arts program for age-specific children.

Wondering what age kids should start martial arts? Learn why age 4 is ideal, the benefits of early training, and how kids karate classes in Colorado Springs build confidence, focus, discipline, and self-defense.
