New Year Resolution?

At the start of the year, making New Year’s Resolutions are a standard tradition for many. It is a time to take stock of the past year and dream big for the new year. Yet only 8% of people successful complete their resolutions.
The six most common reasons for failing to meet resolutions are:

Not making it a priority or having a strong enough reason why
Getting discouraged if things don’t go perfectly from the start
Not having specific enough goals
Trying to do too many different activities at once
Not having the right mentors or support groups
Not tracking progress ....

Tips for Beginners

Be patient
You may have started karate because you want to spar. Or perhaps you have your sights on becoming a master. However, if you're just starting out, it’ll do well to exercise patience. Like any sport, karate takes a lot of practice to master. You’ll need to train your brain and body to learn new physical movements. If you're not improving as quickly as you'd like, give yourself time. Karate involves both physical and mental conditioning, so learning at a slower pace may actually help you retain mental aspects. Eventually, with practice, the moves will begin to feel natural.
Stretch
Before you go to a karate class, make sure you stretch thoroughly, like you would ....

What is Tang Soo Do?

Tang Soo Do is a Korean Martial Art tracing its lineage back over 2000 years, focusing mainly on unarmed techniques and self-defense. Literally translated, the word “Tang” means the T’ ang dynasty of China, but reflects the shared cultural background between China and Korea. “Soo” means hand but implies fist, punch, strike, etc, and “Do” means way of life. Warrior aristocrats known as the Hwa Rang Dan lived by 5 codes given to them by a monk named Won Kwang.

HOW DO I KEEP MY CHILD MOTIVATED

HOW DO I KEEP MY CHILD MOTIVATED Sometimes parents, especially parents of very young children, mention to us that the kids complain about coming to class. The parents acknowledge that the kids like class once they are here; yet the parents worry that maybe the child is losing interest. In many cases, the child is not telling you he doesn’t like his classes. Often, he is demonstrating that he is “present focused.”
At early stages of development, kids are not always able to project their thinking into the future, and weigh the potential for future enjoyment. For example, if you offered a young child a dollar now, or ten dollars in a month, they ....

Hey Master K! Hope you’ve been doing well. Just saw a few posts of what you’ve been up to with Evolution and thought to myself how I’m not sure if I ever expressed my gratitude to you and Ms. Myers for everything you both did for me while growing up. Thank you for all of the tough love and training all those years ago as I truly believe it had an extremely powerful impact on my life. The morals and life lessons such as integrity,respect, self control, etc have stayed with me to this day and I owe a large amount of that and my success in adulthood not only to my parents but to my time with you and the team at KMAI. Thanks again for everything and I know many others, whether they’ve reached out or not, feel the same way!

I think Evolution Karate is an awesome place to have your child learn Karate! I have strongly recommended it to several friends and they all have agreed with me. Their kids are loving it as well. The instructors are patient and caring! They are very encouraging! It is a place my daughter wants to be everyday! Evolution Karate has welcomed us into their Martial Arts Family and we are loving it!

Evolution is a one stop training center. I went for a trial period and I was hooked. In this year I have gotten to know the instructors. ALL are very good at what they to. Starting from Miss Alex and Mr. Adam are great with the kids. They show patience and kindness. Mr. Mac is a hard worker and he works you hard. Master Watson is an awesome teacher!! He makes it easy and hard at the same time. He does not allow you to rest on what you already know. Then comes Master K. he has a smile for everyone, but don’t let the smile fool you. The knowledge that he has is amazing!! This is truly a family!!I couldn’t see me anyplace else. Come see for yourself, and you will get hooked!!
