TruMotion Martial Arts-South Jordan

This year’s 5 Year Dinner!!!! Man is by far one of my favorite things we do every year.

Congrats to everyone on Saturday that Tested for Black and Brown Belt. Especially these three Elsa,Luke and Brenner. Keep it up guys.

Thank you to everyone that came to our first annual potluck Christmas Party. It was so much fun with lots of food. I cannot wait for next years. That you again everyone for making this a great year.

Well we had an unexpected show this morning in front of the dojo. They were filming a Hallmark Christmas called “Anywhere but home for the Holidays.” What fun times.

If you did not know the dojo has a podcast! It’s called TruTalk Tuesdays with TruMotion. New episodes drop every Tuesday. You can find us on YouTube, Amazon Music and Spotify. We are still working on getting on iTunes. We would really appreciate if you could give a follow. Thanks for everyone you guys.

Our power went out around 5:30 yesterday and these Brave Ninjas still wanted to make it to class. What a bunch of troopers. Nothing like Karate in the dark.

It is good to see a nice full class. Everyone is working hard to get ready for tournament.

Some more Leopard Test pics to bless your Sunday.

Some highlights from the leopard test! Great job everyone.

Man I am glad to have summer over. It is nice to see more people coming back to class.

I want to give a big congratulations to Elsa Wall and Todd Loveland. They both passed the 1st phase of Black Belt! Elsa got her Black Belt one day after her 10 year anniversary and Todd after 5 years of training. I am so proud of these two, they are both great ambassadors of the Dojo and what we stand for. Also congrats to Luke Schultz and Liam Fower for achieving Brown. Bailey Pettit and Jace Straub for getting Advanced Green. Finally Jane Baliel, Lincoln Underwood and Daniel Arrington on achieving Advanced Blue. I am so proud of all of you.

What is strength? Is it the ability to lift heavy weights? Run a 4 minute mile? Climb the highest mountain? Yes those show strength. But what happens when the physical strength is taken away from you? What is strength then? Let me introduce you my mom Susan Diaz. She has MS and walking is becoming extremely difficult. We did the MS walk yesterday and she wanted to walk through the finish line. To prove that MS has not won. That is true strength. The ability to look at event or situation and say you have no power over me, I am unstoppable. My mom doesn’t not like being in front of the camera or to draw attention to herself but I feel like her story needed to be told. Either to inspire or encourage people that need to hear it. I know it has made me take a look within and say I can do/handle anything. Thank you for being such a great inspiration for everyone. Love you Mom.
