February is Here to stay

Can you believe that January is over? I can’t, this month has been very exciting for us at Unlimited Success. We’ve had a great belt test, our leadership team is growing by leaps and bounds, and we’re getting ready for our Valentine’s Day Lock-In!


The parent's night out is FREE, just send money for the kids to buy pizza & Drinks (1.50/slice, and 50 cents/drink)

Our word of the month is Positive Self-Talk

"Winning Black Belts learn to control their “inner dialogue.” They create a supportive conversation with themselves that support their goals and their energies. "


We're also going to spend ALOT of time this week on R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Not the Aretha Franklin song, but how we interact with one another.

Respect is defined as:
1. A feeling of appreciative, often deferential regard; esteem.
2. The state of being regarded with honor or esteem.
3. Willingness to show consideration or appreciation.

As a parent, I feel it is important to be addressed as sir or ma’am. Not because I like to feel old (my body tells me that), but as a way to have my kids show a level of appreciation to the things that we give them.

From a martial arts perspective, we need to show respect/appreciation/esteem to others as a way to interact with them on a level playing field. Showing respect to others has a direct benefit. Respect is shown back to you. This increases YOUR self-esteem, YOUR self-respect, YOUR motivation to succeed.

Please help us discuss respect to your kids; expect them to show respect by saying sir and ma’am. YOU’LL love how YOU feel!
