“Just FOCUS!”

Sometimes that's easier said than done...especially after kids have already spent an entire day listening, learning, sitting, transitioning, and managing all the distractions that come with school. The good news? Focus is a skill, and skills can be practiced.

Because it's impossible to raise kids who NEVER get distracted. The goal is helping them learn what to do when they do! That's one of the reasons we love martial arts. Every class gives kids opportunities to listen, follow directions, remember sequences, manage distractions, move their bodies, make corrections, and try again.

Every time they refocus, they're building a powerful life skill.

Focus on working hard.
Focus on getting better.
But don't forget to focus on having a little FUN along the way!

Martial arts is about the skills we build and the memories we make together. ✌️

Focus is a skill... and skills can be practiced! As we begin our September Lesson of the Month, we're helping our students understand that focus isn't simply about being told to “pay attention.” It's learning how to direct your attention, manage distractions, and bring yourself back when your mind wanders.

This article offers parents several practical ways to help children strengthen those same skills at home. One message we'll be repeating all month: NOTICE. RESET. REFOCUS. Take a look and let us know... which of these strategies would be most helpful in your home?

Congratulations to Sean C. for earning not just one, but TWO spots on our Challenge Board!

Adult Longest Plank: 2 minutes and 45 seconds
Adult Most Push-Ups in One Minute: 45

Our Challenge Board gets reset each year to encourage students to push themselves towards being the best they can personally be.

FOCUS: When your body says “I'm done!”... but your goal says “keep going.”

A few of our students decided to take on the Longest Plank Challenge from our Annual Challenge Board... and once those muscles start burning, staying in position becomes just as much a mental challenge as a physical one! That's where FOCUS comes in. Instead of thinking about how much longer you have to hold...

- Focus on your position.
- Focus on your breathing.
- Focus on the next few seconds.
- And then the next few after that.

Big challenges become a lot more manageable when we stop focusing on how far we have to go and concentrate on what we can do right now. One breath. One second. One step at a time. That's a lesson that works on the mat and just about everywhere else in life. Now the important question... How long can YOU hold a plank?

Back to school means new schedules, new responsibilities, new goals... and plenty of distractions! This month, we're talking about FOCUS: learning how to give our attention to what matters, tune out distractions, and bring ourselves back when our minds wander.

On the mat, focus helps us listen, learn, improve, and persevere. At school, it helps us tackle one assignment, one challenge, and one goal at a time. Here's one of the most important lessons we'll be sharing with our students: Getting distracted doesn't mean you've failed. Learning to REFOCUS is part of learning to focus.

Throughout September, we'll be helping our students practice how to Notice. Reset. Refocus. Here's to a focused and fantastic start to the school year!

What’s up Monday! As August comes to a close, take a moment to celebrate how far you’ve come… and then decide where you want to go next! Be proud of your progress. Stay humble enough to keep learning and FOCUS on that next step forward.

September, we’re ready for you!
