"Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular."
-Roy T. Bennett
We must strive to focus on the right way to be. The priorities that make our character strong. We don't just teach punching and kicking; we teach life!
Heck. Does your kids' martial arts school give them a chores sheet to take home?
Building champions in life!

There's something powerful about having self-control over your life. At UMS, we strive to teach our students to have self-control within many areas of their lives. Self-control is also one of our five tenents and the name of our first form/kata.

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still. -Tao Te Ching
God has given us the ability to have great control of ourselves, but with Him, our focus and our self-control will be mighty!

Being dishonest is giving life to a lie. One little lie told will follow with another lie to support the original. These dishonest words now have life as you care for them and nurture them to become truths, which now must live on.
Being honest in all circumstances shows bravery in the mist of disapproval, disappointment, and shame.
Yet honesty builds integrity and honor in a world lacking the two. So face your fears and stand strong on your character! Have pride in your words!
"The good I stand on is my truth and honesty." – William Shakespeare

Our lesson of the month here at UMS Training Center is confidence. At times, we must find confidence within ourselves to speak up, stand up, and fight for what is right just as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did.

"If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."
-Vincent Van Gogh
Sometimes, we listen to the voice in our heads regardless of what it's saying. Learn to control what you're listening to regardless of who it comes from. Accept positively only, and confidence will follow.
