    Remember those who have come before….

    Coaches, teachers, and masters are the backbone of our society. They are the ones who guide us and help us reach our full potential.

    Passion

    Passion One of the passions that often gets overlooked or misunderstood is martial arts. Martial arts is not just about self-defense or fighting; it is a way of life that teaches discipline, respect, focus, and perseverance.

Martial arts is not a quick fix or a shortcut; it requires dedication, time, and effort to master. It is disheartening to see people give up on their martial arts journey before they even begin. They may have ....

    Self ,competition, look in the mirror.

    Competition is often associated with comparing oneself to others and striving to be better than them. However, there is another type of competition that is equally important, and that is competition with oneself. Competition with oneself is the act of setting personal goals and working to achieve them, regardless of what others are doing. This form of competition is based on the idea that the only person you should be trying to beat is yourself, and that your greatest competition is your own previous performance.
