One Lesson In Judo...

I didn't believe it when someone told me that martial arts could teach me to be a better person, but it showed me more to life than fighting. I guess that's why I wouldn't blame anyone for wondering the same thing. I can't since I was just as skeptical. But an amazing thing happened. I decided to give it a try just to satisfy my curiosity and here I am 25 years later still having fun! So what did my first lesson lead to? Well let's take a look at it and break it down into the following: my first lesson led me to 1) try another lesson and to continue trying another lesson until it put me into a pattern 2) this pattern gave me consistency 3) this consistency gave me a roadmap that I apply in all aspects of my life 4) this road map gave me the key to fitness, discipline, compassion, patience, resilience, and confidence in life. Believe me when I say that if I can do it, I truly believe anyone can do it. You see I don't see myself as a person with a unique gift in the world. I see myself just like many people. An everyday person who was given a chance and that lead to many important lessons in life. These lessons are the same lessons that everyone can learn in Judo. Again, more than any other sport, the martial arts is an excellent vehicle in learning life skills and values besides keeping fit and safe. It's important for us to teach the arts as a combination of physical and mental development; key elements to success in life. Dealing with life's challenges, breaking through barriers, and building confidence is a mission that we consistently strive to undertake. CHILDREN learn to focus their energy constructively and to concentrate; TEENS and ADULTS find that martial arts training builds self-confidence while helping to relieve stress and get into shape as they learn effective self-defense. Like one lesson led to other lessons which then led to a pattern of life learning for me, this can be the start for something that will stay with you for the rest of your life. It's exciting to be a part of the journey with everyone!
