If you need to review the schedule or see the online calendar, you can check it anytime at www.scssportkarate.com. Please also remember to check the bulletin boards and signs around the dojo. We do our very best to make sure you have all the information you need. Of course, you may ask questions, but please be aware that there is usually not someone available to answer the phone during classes, so if you are calling to see when your class is, your best bet is to find a computer and check the website if you don’t have your schedule in front of you. You should also cross reference the calendar with the class schedule, and read these e-mails. Thank you for your cooperation.
Kyoshi’s Message:
“People with Goals succeed because they know where they are going!”

S.M.A.R.T. Goal-setting=>Successful Achievement!
Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time-Dated
Most people avoid setting goals simply because they have never learned how to do it right…
others have a fear of failure… some people just procrastinate and never take much action toward a better future.
In the martial arts, we learn very early about the value of goal setting. A simple starting point is to apply the S.M.A.R.T. method of determining your desired objectives. The first step is to set a specific goal that is present, positive and personal:
“I am a flexible, lean and fit Black Belt Champion…
Everyday in everyway I get better and better…
I lead by example with the energy for excellence!”
For some, this would be a “Truth in Advance” goal or statement. For others, it is exactly what they are and the way they live their lives.
Very few goals are unrealistic, however, some people have unrealistic timelines. You aren’t likely to earn a college degree in six months and you will not become a Black Belt Champion in that time either.
This is why you work to set S.M.A.R.T. goals for yourself and allow some flexibility
in your target dates. Done properly, goal setting leads to goal getting and that is exciting and positive for everyone.
