This is why we created the Pathfinder Challenge. 👊
It gives our students a chance to do something that’s a little uncomfortable — step onto the floor, perform in front of people, deal with the nerves, test their skills, and see what they’re capable of.
Poomsae. Weapons. Sparring. Team events. Students of different ages and experience levels putting themselves out there and supporting each other along the way.
The medals are awesome, but that’s not really the point.
The real win is the confidence that comes from preparing for something, stepping onto the floor when it counts, and doing your best anyway.
Saturday was an incredible day at Douglas Martial Arts. The energy from the students, instructors, volunteers and families was fantastic, and seeing so many of our students rise to the challenge was pretty special.
And we captured WAY too much good stuff to fit into one post. 😂
More Pathfinder Challenge photos, performances, sparring and video coming all week.
This was only the beginning. 🥋⚔️
