This Week at SCS October 13 through October 18 & Champions are MOTIVATED for SUCCESS!
October 14, 2008 by Ms.Crissi.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Rockwell Fall Festival. It was a lot of fun and giant success! Thanks!
This week is Spotlight Week. If you have not gotten your Belt Promotion Form and your name is on the list, please ask Ms. Crissi for it. During Spotlight Week, you must attend both an “A” Day and a “B” Day to be eligible for promotion.
Friday we have Demo Practice for Demo Team A. It will be from 5:00 - 6:30. Then our Black Belt Candidates will begin their Power Weekend! This is the last phase to earn their Black Belts! Wish them good success and happy training!
Saturday, the 18th, we have our First Ever Halloween Party for Adults. The kids always get to play, now it’s time for the parents and adult students to have a little fun at the dojo. We have games, prizes, food, costume contests, dancing and more! Come have a fun and spooky time at the dojo from 7:00 - 9:00 on Saturday. Cost is $8 per person and covers beverages and food, etc. Couples are $15. Please sign up in the front lobby. As of today, we don’t have many signed up and we need you to make it a party!
Next Friday Night…our Black Belt Spectacular where we will graduate three students to Black Belt! The event will be hosted at the Central Baldwin Middle School from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. There is bleacher seating, so you may wish to bring a cushion or other seating for some family members. It’s free to attend, however we are doing a canned food drive for the United Methodist Church. Please bring non-perishable food items to the event! It’s an exciting night and we hope to see you there!
Saturday, October 25, we celebrate our new ranks at our Fall Picnic! Please sign up at the front desk to bring a dish to pass. We’ll have fun playing ball and enjoying the company of the team at Garrett Park! The exciting part of this picnic is that we get to have our first one with the crew from Daphne! Don’t forget your sunglasses and your baseball gear!
The Dothan Peanut Festival Tournament is Saturday, November 1. We will be caravan-ing (is that a word?) from SCS early, early, early Saturday morning after a fun night of Trick or Treating! The event will be held at the Dothan Civic Center. The entry fee is $45 for all events and must be paid in cash. Informational flyers are available at the front desk. We are awaiting entry forms/waivers from the World Yoshukai Karate Organization for this event. As many of us plan to spend the night and enjoy the Peanut Festival, please be sure to sign up for carpool arrangements and we ask that parents accompany their children to this event unless arrangements are made ahead of time. Thanks!
I’d like to end this with a message from Kyoshi…
CHAMPIONS are MOTIVATED for SUCCESS!
What keeps a Champion so motivated? ACTION!!!
Action creates Motivation!
Too often, people are waiting to get motivated, before they take any action.
That’s not how motivation works.
Once you take action…motivation follows.
The more action you take, the more motivated you will become. Once you decide what
you want…in your Martial Arts, in your education, in your life, you must take action.
—————————————————————————————-
“You don’t need to be great to get started, but you do need to get
started to be great!” - Les Brown < Best Selling Author >
—————————————————————————————-
It’s true in anything. If you want to become a confident, capable and well conditioned Black Belt Champion, you must take action to get to class and your going to need to take action
on improving your skills and conditioning. NO ACTION=>NO RESULTS!
MASSIVE ACTION=>MASSIVE RESULTS!
If you want to become smarter, you must take action to read and study more. If you want
to become wealthy and successful, you must take action to become wealthy and successful.
The more action you take, and the better actions you take, the better results you will achieve.
Motion intensifies Emotion…once you get up and get moving, you’ll feel better, think better and take better actions. Anytime you take action and get in motion…you improve
your emotion.
Doing nothing and thinking negative thoughts causes great harm to
your mind, body and spirit, and can destroy valuable opportunities.
To get to the TOP…Start by getting off your BOTTOM!
*********************************************
I hope you’ve had a great week of training and your ROCKtober is off to
a great start. There are only 80 days left for the entire year and every
minute counts in making this your best year ever.
Mine has been fast and furious so far…KC and myself returned from Syracuse late Sunday night after a great week with our Upstate NY Team and family. It was an awesome trip for both of us, it’s always great to see so much talent and have the opportunity to spend time with people we care about and appreciate so much to
have in our lives.
On behalf of our Masters Council and USA Sensei Team, we awarded
30-1st Degrees, 24-2nd Degrees, 8-3rd Degrees, 1-4th Degree Sensei Baker and 1-6th Degree Master Sgarlata. Sixty four graduates total and
a phenominal Black Belt Spectacular final demonstration.
On November 1st, we’ll be celebrating our 33rd Anniversary of progress, growth and change. It’s been an amazing journey so far and hard to believe that it’s been over three decades since taking over my first dojo
in Liverpool NY.
Lot’s of great memories and magical moments. Most important is the thousands of fantastic people that have become life long friends and students of our system.
The best part…is the fun has just begun.
My passion and purpose has never been clearer and when you combine
that with the energy and talent of our Masters Council and growing USA Sensei Team…the future looks better than ever before!
Train Hard…Work Hard…Enjoy the Rewards of your Success!
Osu,
Kyoshi
