Congrats to Josu Jackson's Mom Marjorie for completing her black belt!

 

Sincerest congratulations to Tina's Mom for the recent completion of her black belt. Many of us have been following her progress through Tina's updates. Marjorie, you should see Tina beam when she tells about your accomplishment. Congratulations!

My weekly push for 2nd Dan.

Hello again. This was a tough week for me, I worked late three days and I lost my aunt Sebing yesterday. I was only able to make one class this week, but what a class! We got worked! I love it! When I can barely stand at the end of a class I know it has been a good one. I would like more of those please.

 To everyone, keep working hard and you will get where you what to go. 

 I am as motivated as ever. See you in class.

Weekly blog about my push for 2nd dan by Eric Sams

I am  little late posting this one, sorry about that. Things are a little busy at work this last week. I had a good week of training, the workshop we had Wednesday was so much fun. I know I have a lot to learn with weapons, but I am hungry for knowledge. 

 My mother in-law earned her black belt in Hap Ki Do Saturday. Go mom! I find that so inspirational. 

 That means that I need to…

Info on sparring, the gear students need to wear, and a video about gear from a kids perspective.

Lets start with some very basic rules of tae kwon do Olympic style sparring.

 

you can punch (with a clenched fist).

And you can kick with any part of your foot below your ankle. And that's it.

No other techniques are allowed only punches and kicks.

You can kick to two places.…

My weekly push for 2nd Dan.

I am moving forward with my training and all is well. I had so much fun with the self defense workshop, I know we all had fun. Hopefully we will get some more new students from it. I have really been enjoying class lately and I can hardly wait to go back.  My motivation is still very high.

 As long as I stay healthy and my job doesn't interfere to much I hope to stay on schedule. I spent a little extra time with a student last night and had a blast. Teaching really has got a hold on…

My weekly push for 2nd Dan.

I am very motivated to push forward. I am working at a new job so making class on time will be catch as catch can. I am hoping that I will be able to make Tuesday and Thursday like usual.

I am  little tired today but it feels great. I wish I had more time to give to the other students to help them along, I feel it is important that I give as…

Overcoming setbacks

In life there are always things that will challenge you to reach your goals. They come in may ways. I will let you know a few of mine.

As a few of you know Eric (CKN Sams) and I started TKD with Master Wells 6 1/2 yrs ago. Our goal together was to achieve our black belts. Well, 3 yrs ago I hurt myself during a belt test. I was going for my Brown belt. I did pass my test…

SEE YOU AT NOON

   There aren't many things that I enjoy more than a good heart pounding workout.  I try to mix things up so that I don't get bored, which happens easily.  Running, hiking, trail running, biking, lifting weights, annoying my fiancee...just to name a few that I cycle through most often.  Then there's the one that I do daily at the Dojang and the one that I would like…

Using positive visualization for yourself, or with your kid

Let’s pretend your child has an important project which will require him so speak in front of his class or maybe the entire school. Now keep in mind this is just an example, but the idea is to use visualization on just about everything, especially the tasks which he may feel challenged and fearful of. 

 Say to him something like this..”Son it’s your turn.  You feel  calm, your muscles…
