What is the toughest belt to go through?

To me it’s the white belt. Because for years you contemplate whether or not you should train to begin with. You wait for that right moment or for the worst moment to finally step into a dojo. Either way, the moment you start - if you’re willing to dance with your ego and not quit to soon - you’re forced to learn who you really are and what you’re capable of. You’re forced to slow things down when you go too fast, and speed things up when you go to slow. You’re forced to recognize that there’s value in stillness and success in being the least smartest in the room. Earning a blue belt is such a big deal at first to people because of all the changes you made from the moment you put that belt on to the moment it’s time to evolve.

I reflect on all this now as we come close to our next Belt Testing. And we just got some new Bravé white belts in so might as well show how cool they look 🙏🕺

Get back up… and try again! 🤠 Our 5-7 Year Old Junior Program have been working on developing more confidence in their wrestle defence.

We’ve taught them what a strong turtle looks like 🐢 how to activate their inner crab with quick claws 🦀 and then protect their legs on their feet using 3 cues: level change, kick back and sprawl.

A fun way to power up the sprawl for kids is a “sprawl and ball” bowling game. One child rolls the ball towards their partner with the objective of it touching their feet. Other partner has to use the sprawl and precisely time it for it to land above the waist.

1.5 weeks into these games the juniors are already going live with wrestling rounds

Jason Lee - a heart of gold this guy has! He may always lose his stripes from washing his belt, but he never complains about it. He may show up 30 minutes late to train because of traffic, but he still shows up. He may say he only has 10 minutes extra to stretch after class, but he’s here till the end. He may tell you he’s busy with something, but then he shows up with pizza to feed the squad. He’s strong AF and a very respectful athlete who never stops trying. We love you buddy

If you are noticing your child become more resistant to competing after they just had a comp, pay close attention to that and give them a break 😴

Some of our students from our kids programs have competed 6x in the past 8 weeks!! Camp after camp after camp 🤯 We set the bar pretty high for what we expect out of our junior and rising lion program… but we also have to know when to put the brakes on and let them be kids.

Like any pro athlete, embrace the time for an off-season. Our kids comp team will be spending this month ahead refining the basics and building new skills instead of going right back to camp.

Kids have a tougher time verbalizing their frustration so sometimes you need to put yourself in their shoes and go back to it being fun as opposed to something they feel they need to keep doing to win over your love and admiration for them.

Pro tip: The best thing you can do to better understand the sport is do it alongside your kids. I’ve seen the best family dynamics and respect only grow more for one another when family members share the mats together.

So here’s to keeping it fun, embracing the off-season and doing our part to ensure our kids increase the odds of martial arts being in their life beyond the 3 month package you signed them up for.
