December Grading
Congratulations to everybody who graded and received their new belts on the weekend. It was great to see the smiles on everyone’s faces after all of the hard work. Gradings are all about setting and working towards a goal. Continual improvement along the way helps us get closer and closer until we finally achieve our goal. Where to from here? Well, there’s always another goal, and more improvement to make.
Martial Arts is a process of continual improvement, no matter what colour your belt is. Striving for excellence in everything you do, inside and outside of the dojo, should be everybody’s goal. As my Sensei said to me many years ago (and it’s stuck with me ever since) “Always present excellence”. Walk with your head held high and be the excellence you’d like to see in others. Resist the urge to comment and criticise and lead by example.
