"Exercise enhances our general health by giving us more energy, making us feel better, and even extending our lives by years. Regular physical activity and exercise have several health benefits that are impossible to overlook."

Communication is the cornerstone upon which every relationship is based. To be an effective leader, proper communication is paramount.
True leaders speak only to empower others, giving direction and guidance without allowing excuses nor laying blame. This cannot be achieved without planning. Planning allows leaders to set the course for those in their charge without the confusion of no solid purpose.
Leaders who communicate properly do not participate in gossip and they hold secrets in confidence. They are humble enough to apologize when they make mistakes and work quickly to find mutually beneficial resolutions.
This concept is one we encourage our students to learn and practice in all relationships and leadership opportunities.

Part of our company culture are the three core principles of the Chittim-Jordan lineage.
Those three principles are loyalty, ability, and integrity.

Loyalty - Students should push each other to set higher goals while keeping in mind that competition never outweighs companionship. Only together can everyone achieve more.

Ability - The goal for any student should be the mastery of martial skill as demonstrated by the development of the speed, flexibility, and power necessary to perform techniques as well as progression through belt ranks. Ultimately, students are expected to be able to perform these skills in front of a panel of black belt judges and earn their black belt.

Integrity - While having integrity certainly means that a person is honest, living a life of integrity is more than just always telling the truth. The Dojo & Fit Club defines a person of integrity as someone with unshakeable principles. No matter the hardships or temptations a person of integrity faces, they remain steadfast. They do not cave to social pressures to lie or cheat and they always find a way to deliver on their promises. They look for resolutions of conflict that do not involve compromising their moral code and do not take advantage of others involved. They have integrity regardless of whether someone is supervising their behavior.

It’s not just about being awesome in martial arts… it’s about being awesome in life. Teaching our Little Ninjas kindness and respect is a journey we all can make together! Let’s show the world that martial arts knows no boundaries.

"International Day of Awesomeness, celebrated on March 10 every year, is a day where anybody, no matter who they are, may celebrate their awesomeness. Yes, we all possess qualities that make us awesome in some way. So today, let go of any insecurities and prepare to give yourself the praise you deserve. No one is perfect, to be sure. Everyone, on the other hand, is amazing in their way. All you have to do is spotlight one of your qualities and concentrate on what makes it so special. Use this day to share the joy by telling others how wonderful they are!"

"International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also observed in support of taking action against gender inequality around the world. We all know the world couldn’t run without women (we mean, just listen to Beyoncé). This is the day to appreciate their efforts! Organizations large and small come together to show women just how valuable they are in today’s society."

It's National Be Humble Day!
Being humble about martial arts training is crucial to the success of our students. Training should only be used to protect and defend, not to brag or show-off and especially not to bully.

Apt to this day we celebrate, the person who is responsible for the founding and celebration of Be Humble Day is unknown. Yes, the exact origin and the founder of Be Humble Day still remains a mystery. Maybe he didn’t like to boast — a true sign of being humble!

This week is Random Acts of Kindness Week

A random act of kindness is in most cases, a non-organized and spontaneous gesture of kindness towards someone who needs it.

Kindness is an essential characteristic of any martial artist. Recognizing when and where to put forth kindness is just as important as practicing self control and self discipline. We hope to encourage our students to always be kind, especially to someone in need.
