Training with family

I was just thinking about some of the families that train with us at both locations. We really have had the pleasure of working with some awesome people. Not many of us think of family when we hear the word "TEAM". You may think of your favorite baseball or football team. Not your family. I tend to think differently.

My favorite team is definitely my family. I think of all the little steps my team takes that later on help to become big steps. For example, my son, Cristian, is 17 months old and is already successfully using the "potty." He got to do this amazing task with help and support of his mommy, daddy, and older sister. Cristian wants to do everything his big sister Isabella does. Mommy and daddy make sure that Isabella is working on positive constructive things like reading, singing, playing nicely, speaking well with others, practicing her karate, etc. and she knows what an influence she is on her brother and tries to be a good example.

Isabella just turned four today - "Happy Birthday Princess!" You should see how proud her brother is of her. They actually practice karate together and not on each other. They know the positives of martial arts so far. They know that karate on people is a no no. I can't tell you what a team we are at home and when we go out. We look for each other's comfort and support.
I see this comfort and support everyday from other teams in my school everyday.

A family that trains together stays together! Whatever your team does together do it with passion, no matter what it is. I, of course, use karate classes as an example but it can be any sport or recreation. You can be a part of it even if you are not physically involved.
If you are one of our students, or a family member of one of our students, we thank you for your support and know that we have been watching.
