News and Announcements


From Sensei Wong:  2020 Resolutions
I hear many people making fun of New Year resolutions that people make.  The gyms fill up, as all types of exercise clubs have a rush of new patrons, vowing to fulfill the new stated resolution.  I have even talked with some acquaintances saying that they will not be going to the gym for a few weeks until after the newbies give up and leave. Whether the resolution is for weight loss, conditioning or whatever, I think it is better to make a resolution than not.  Sure, there can be the likelihood of quitting after a few weeks and getting back into the same rut, but there is a possibility that the person may kick start a new habit and follow through with a meaningful regimen and fulfill their goals, or resolutions, that they had set for themselves.  If you have not been training, or not training seriously, at the dojo, perhaps it' time to set a new resolution.  Set some higher goals for yourself, whether it be to get more flexible, to lose weight, to gain speed, to become better in kumite/kata, learn that new kata or even to achieve the next belt.  It is better to set goals and possibly fail, than to not set any goals and succeed thereby not advancing yourself.  Remember to "Endeavor to Excel" in all areas of your life, strive to be better in all you do. 
OSS! 
Sensei Wong
