Here is a great letter from one of our teenagers on how Martial Arts helps you demonstrate and exercise EXCELLENCE
Martial Arts is where excellence is bread. Martial Arts has an infinite lingering sense of competitiveness. It is a form of which I am persistently competing against myself and peers with a growing desire for success. I strive to achieve excellence in every aspect of Martial Arts, especially in times when difficulty arises. The environment of martial arts demands excellence, as do your peers/instructors, contributing to your willingness to never give up. My desire for excellence in martial arts has earned me over 20 first placements in tournaments within my 6 years of training. True excellence is improving upon yourself, no matter how large or minute the change is. From chambering my hand faster to putting 110% in the classes where it is nearly impossible, martial arts has helped me learn how to exercise excellence no matter the situation.
