🌤️ Self-Care Sunday

Long weekend, and no particular hurry to do anything with it.

If your student has been going hard since the session started, a few days off won't undo any of it. Sore legs are information, not a problem, and the fix is usually sleep and water rather than pushing through.

Back at it Tuesday.

School Saturday. No class today — but here's what a normal one looks like. One room, one count, everybody working. Different ages, different ranks, different reasons for being here. Same stance.

Orange and yellow belts started learning jump front kick this week. This is probably one of the most fun kicks to learn at this level. Sometimes, there’s not a lot of height off the ground at first, but with practice, it can get pretty high!

📅 Heads up, MTKD families: no class this Saturday, 9/5. We're taking the long weekend.

Back to the regular schedule on Tuesday. Enjoy it, and if anybody asks what your student has been up to, feel free to demonstrate. 🥋

🥋 Training Thursday An older student walking a younger one through a technique. This isn't us being short on instructors. Teaching is part of the leadership curriculum here, and it's the fastest way we know to solidify their understanding and find the holes in what somebody thinks they know. You can run a form correctly for months and still not be able to explain why your foot goes where it goes. The younger ones also tend to listen a little differently to somebody closer to their own age.

Congratulations to Matthew for earning his white belt this week!

💪 Word of the Week: COURTESY

We're a week into the fall session, which means some students walked into a room last week where they didn't know a single person.

Watch what the returning students do about that. They slide over to make room. They slow a technique down without being asked. They tell the new kid the thing they wish somebody had told them.

Courtesy is the first tenet and it's the one nobody gets a stripe for. It's also most of the reason a nervous seven year old comes back for class two.

🌤️ Self-Care Sunday

We're closed today, and that's on purpose.

Muscle doesn't get stronger during the workout. It gets stronger afterward, while you're not doing anything about it. A day off isn't time away from training, it's the part where the work sets.

So, rest. See everybody tomorrow.

We started the fall session on Monday, so we're one week in. That's a good time to join.

Coming in a few weeks late is fine. Past that it gets more case by case, mostly because of where testing lands at the end of the session. So if you've been thinking about it, sooner is better.

The free intro class is one on one. Parents are welcome to stay and watch.
