Who do you think you are?

For Black belts,


Today I had the opportunity to talk with a student from the Kickbox aerobics class the student started a conversation about presence and how we present yourselves.

These were my thoughts

" You are rarely or never what you think you are"

Let me explain!!

We all have (concepts) <---of yourselves "Look up the word"
  • You have a concept of who you are as a person
  • You have a concept of who you are as a father
  • You have a concept of who you are as a wife
  • You have a concept of who you are as a son
  • You have a concept of who you are as a sister
  • As a grandparent
  • As a Uncle
  • As a Aunt
  • As a cousin
  • As a friend
  • As a student
  • As a teacher
  • As a Basketball player

The Demo


Several of our students took part in the Handicapped Children's Association "Fun Day fund raiser" to help them with their effort towards a new playground. Students from our Karate program and our Art of Combat program were there to help out. The program went well with lots of positive praise from the families that had the opportunity to see our students do what they do best "have fun" Thanks to Kenny and Larry Sensei's for your support and assistance and to all the families who helped and took pictures.
