POSITIVE SELF IMAGE & PRIDE

A positive self image leads to success. To be successful, you must learn and practice to have a positive self-image. Studying the Martial Arts is an excellent way to enhance your self-image and create a rewarding sense of pride. This motivating force of pride will drive you to accomplish your goals.

COURAGE TO OVERCOME FEAR

Black Belts possess courage. Courage is a characteristic of winners. It is a measure of your heart, your desire and your inner strength. Courage will keep you from being intimidated by the prospect of failure. Fear is a natural part of life, but it can drive you to perform better if you have the courage to face it. Learning to set and achieve goals will help students become more successful in other areas of life.

SELF DISCIPLINE & RESPECT

At John Turners Black Belt Academy we teach the importance of respect for one's self and for others. All Students must follow the STUDENT CREED that deals with having a positive attitude and developing self-discipline, self-control and self-respect. Students learn to set goals and be self-motivating in achieving them. A positive mental attitude will evolve. Our younger students have self-confidence to resist peer pressure and the disastrous effects of drugs and gangs.

REACHING GOALS & OBJECTIVES

To help students achieve their goals they will be tested regularly and their progress will be assessed. Achieving a Black Belt is a multi-year goal; however, along the way there are short term goals to advance in rank and skill level.
