Master Minute: Bully Prevention - How We Treat Others

October is Bully Prevention Month, and Grandmaster Marco is kicking off our series with an important lesson about something we can all think about: how we treat other people.

Sometimes we may think something is funny or harmless, but the other person may not feel the same way. If someone tells us to stop, the answer is simple: we stop.

This week, think about how your words and actions make others feel and ask yourself: “Would I like it if someone did that to me?”

🎥 Take a minute to watch this week’s Master Minute with your child and talk about how they can put the lesson into practice!

One of the simplest lessons we can teach our children is also one of the most powerful: your words and actions affect other people.

As we begin Bullying Prevention Month, this Sunday message from Grandmaster Marco is a wonderful reminder for children and adults.. Choose kindness. Encourage someone. Include someone. Sometimes small actions make a very big difference.

*******
YOU MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE ELSE IS CARRYING.

Over the years, I've met thousands of people through competition, teaching, speaking and martial arts. Life continues to remind me how little we sometimes know about what another person is going through.

Someone can smile and still be struggling.
Someone can appear confident and still be afraid. Someone can be successful and still feel overwhelmed. Sometimes a few words of encouragement arrive at exactly the moment someone needs them.

A little patience. A sincere compliment. Taking time to listen.Including someone who feels left out. Letting someone know:
“I believe in you.” None of those things cost us very much. But to the person receiving them, they can mean much more than we realize.

We often think about becoming successful in terms of what we accomplish. But I believe part of becoming a champion in life is also becoming someone who helps other people become stronger.

So here's a challenge for the coming week:
Encourage one person who isn't expecting it. You may never know how much they needed it.

Master Minute of the Week: The Three Rules of Concentration

Last week, we introduced the idea that your mind is the boss of your body and talked about why concentration matters.

This week, we're bringing it all together by reviewing the Three Rules of Concentration and how students can use them to improve their focus and self-control.

These are skills that can help students not only in karate, but also at school, while doing homework, and in everyday life.

Watch this week's Master Minute and review the 3 Rules of Concentration with us!
