Our mindset determines our success.  We want students to rise to their best by having a growth mindset.  

We all want to rise to our best in every aspect of our life. While the definition of that may be different for every person, we all have a picture of the ideal life for us. While at times we may think, “Yes, I’ve got it!” other times we may wonder if we are even headed in the right direction.   Here are a few things that can be a foundation for us and help to make sure we are truly rising to our best.

We all know about the importance of setting goals.  But wa cannot forget obout our personal vision.

Want to have success in martial arts?  Find out the things that successful Taekwondo students do!

In our kids taekwondo and cubs (pre school) taekwondo classes we teach the meaning of self-control in a fun way, complete with hand motions.  I will make myself (thumbs pointing to ourselves) do the right thing.  (Finger pointing out pumping, like a mom, saying “do the right thing”)  =) But we all know kids don’t always want to do the right thing, because they would rather talk to their neighbors in class than listen to the teacher or would rather wiggle than sit still.  It’s hard to make yourself do the right thing.  But as adults doing the right thing takes on a different meaning.  We want to sit still and Facebook or read or watch TV or what ever rather than getting up and playing.  Playing takes the self-control rather than the sitting still.
