Responsibility means knowing that we are in control of our thoughts and actions. This is a crucial trait for children to develop in order to be functional, successful, and stable adults. This month at 1st Class Martial Arts, we will be teaching our students the consequences or outcomes that make doing something necessary.

We don't need to be in competition with others but always striving to be a better version of ourselves.

Martial arts places a strong emphasis on showing respect for others. In this lesson, we are studying an equally important facet of respect: self-respect. Children who have a strong sense of respect for themselves are more likely to be confident, less likely to be the victim or perpetrator of bullying, take better care of themselves, and are more willing to try new things without fear of failure or “looking bad.”🥋

This month at 1st Class Martial Arts, we are teaching students about the importance of self-awareness. Physical awareness can be a great metaphor for self-awareness. Almost anyone can tell when they are comfortable, too hot, in pain, etc. Being emotionally self-aware can be more difficult, especially for young people who are still learning how to process and express emotions.

Expectations are resentments waiting to happen. You can only control the work that you put in. 🥋 💪🏽
