"THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPETITION IN CHILDREN'S EDUCATION"

Competitions are not only about winning or losing, they are about learning how to live.

When a child enters a ring, tatami, Dojo - they are not fighting only with somebody. It's confrontation with themselves.

The child is afraid, anxious, brave, frustrated...
And all in a safe environment, surrounded by those who encourage it.

Every championship is a real opportunity to mature.

There the child learns to control their emotions, to concentrate under pressure, to rise after a fall and to understand that effort is not a guarantee of victory but a way to progress.

This is a preparation for maturity - where challenges are everyday, the "opponents" are internal, and the greatest result is not to give up.

Healthy racing teaches empathy, discipline and self-awareness.
The one who competes today is strengthening themself for the world of tomorrow.

Because awards will one day rust.
But what they went through...... will stay in the mind forever.

Here's to a year of new opportunities and possibilities!

Happy New Year 🥂

"Within Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate-do Kyokai (OGKK) this promotion places Lilian (66) as the highest ranking female in the world and Elias, who is on the brink of 70, as the highest ranking male in Africa. He is one of only four male Westerners to have reached 8th Dan in this style of karate."
