Attitude Drives Actions - Actions Drives Results
Hello Champions,
Great Attitude => Great Actions => Great Results => Great lifestyle!
If you want to lead a great life, you have to take great actions. The best way to prepare yourself to take great actions, is to practice having a great attitude. Say “YES” everyday to prepare yourself for Victory!
Imagine every time you entered the dojo, you said “YES” I love my Martial Arts!
Every time you step on the mat...you said "YES" I love my Martial Arts!
Every time you finished class...you said "YES" I love my Martial Arts!
You'd soon develop a habit that leads to becoming a highly conditioned Black Belt Champion.
Habits We Train Are Habits We Gain!
Anything you do repeatedly becomes habit. Good or bad. Black Belt Champions know that they must train their brain everyday. This is why you must condition your attitude everyday for making it a great day.
If you improve the way you look at things…the things you look at will also improve!
Think how much better you would be at everything you do, if you trained yourself to have a great attitude toward life and learning...everyday!
Practice being more respectful, you become more respected.
Practice looking for the good in others, you begin to attract more of what you look for.
Practice smiling more and you will see more people smiling back.
Here are some Black Belt Attitude Tips for daily development os a positive attitude
<> Wake up everyday and say “YES” today is a great day!
<> Be the first to offer praise and compliment.
<> Always look for the good in yourself and others.
<> Think of what you DO want in life, not what you DON’T!
<> Always be happy and grateful for what you DO have.
<> Never unhappy and ungrateful with what you DON’T have.
At NAK, this month is dedicated to our Dads! We would like to to say thank you to all of the Wonderful Dads for all that you do!
Dad's sometimes don't get enough credit and praises for all they do! With so many things going on, on a daily basis each and everyone of you great dads still manage to get your children to the dojo. Thank you! We also have another section of our school packed with Dad's. That is our adult program! More and more dads are throwing on the belts and stepping on the mats for some great cardio, strength and flexibility training along with extremely beneficial martial art defensive tactics.

Get Healthy & Fit... Stay Healthy & Fit... Never Quit!
Many people start Martial Arts with fitness being one of their primary reasons.
The same is true with people joining a gym. The challenge is that some people think that just becoming a student of the Martial Arts or being a member of a gym, is going to make them healthy and fit. Being a student of the Martial Arts doesn't guarantee that you'll become and stay healthy and fit, anymore than joining a gym does. Daily actions and habits are the key determining factors of our health and fitness. What you do outside of the dojo counts just as much as what you do inside the dojo.
Getting healthy and fit...staying healthy and fit...should be a lifetime goal for all of us.
Why is this such an important goal?
Because the lack of good health is costing all of us. Not just dollars, but productivity and the self esteem of the next generation of kids that are growing up in a time that obesity is growing at an alarming pace. The numbers are downright scary. Nearly 30% of all adults are obese and 65% are overweight at a level that is considered unhealthy. Statistics for children is similar and growing at an even more aggressive rate. Simply being overweight, let alone obese, increases the likelihood of a variety of health issues. High blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, asthma, diabetes and some cancers.
That's not even talking about the stress and inefficiency it causes.
For the first time in history, the youngest generation of kids growing up in America are now expected to live shorter lives than their parents. And this is happening at a time that medical technology and information is at an all time peak. Poor health habits and obesity is causing financial challenges for many families and it is leading to premature death in thousands of people that could live longer, healthier and more productive lives in our society.
It's also costing the U.S. billions of dollars a year in medical costs.
Part of the challenge is denial. Many people that are obese and/or at an unhealthy weight are not willing to face their challenge. They simply ignore the facts and accept themselves as being big boned or a large person. Or, like a cigarette smoker, they are surrounded by others that are in the same level of poor health. Which makes it somehow seem okay.
So what can WE do about it? What can YOU do about it? What can I do about it?
We can start by staying focused on our own health and fitness.
We can be a Model of Excellence in health and fitness.
We can do our best to educate, inspire and influence others.
The best way to lead is always by example...
Can you think of a better area to be a Model of Excellence?
Health and Fitness Tip #1
Start your Day in a Healthy and Fit Way.
How do you do this? By starting each day with a healthy and balanced breakfast and planning out your meals for the rest of the day. Putting the right fuel in your tank will give you the energy for excellence that will allow you to train hard, work hard and enjoy the rewards of your success.
Start your Day in a Healthy and Fit Way.
I hope your training is going well and that your staying focused on becoming better in your overall skills, conditioning and ability to live everyday as the best Black Belt Champion you can be.

Word Of The Month
Promise
To promise is to seriously pledge to do something specified. Promising things to other people should never be done lightly. people will expect that you honor your word. Only make promises that you can keep, and always make the effort to do what you have undertaken. Otherwise, people will start to doubt your integrity and whether they can count on you. Remember, Martial artists always keep their promises.
