Honesty: Honesty means we tell the truth! We can be honest with our words, and this is important. However, we also have to be honest with our actions. One way we can do this is by doing what we say we will do.
“A SINGLE LIE DESTROYS A WHOLE REPUTATION OF INTEGRITY.”

– BALTASAR GRACIAN
Have you ever told a lie? How did it make you feel? How did it make the other person feel? Do you think it’s bad to lie?

Youth Students:
1.Why is motivation important for things that you don’t want to do?

Respect is our WOTM: For this month we will explain how there is respect and self respect.
This week, the definition for Respect is to treat others as you would want to be treated.
A couple ways to do this is to say please and thank you, don’t tease or insult others. and remember you are the only one in control of your ATTITUDE and ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING. So make sure to be polite even if you are grumpy especially during this holiday season. Make sure we get this message out to the Youth this week. Santa is just around the corner.

Thankful: Talk about something that you are thankful for to the students and get them thinking as well. ask them to tell a little bit and why

No Youth Classes next week for the Thanksgiving Break. I would like to have the instructors come in next week T/W/Th at 5:30PM to talk about Curriculum leading into next year or possibly the next school year for the youth depending on how long it will take for us to cement one.

Happy Veterans to our guys and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE Andrew & Tyler You guys rock.

Thankful means feeling or expressing gratitude for something good that has happened in your life. For example, you might feel thankful for having a place to live, food, clean water, friends, and family. 

Here are some other ways to describe feelings of gratitude: fortunate, humbled, appreciative, and blessed

We have guys kickboxing this weekend in Chattanooga area in TN. Good luck to our Kickboxers and Thai Fighters. Tim Competed this past weekend and lost out on points. We will review, he’s been on point on the mats lately, so it’ll definitely be worth stripping down what happened. It was great to see Lance this week, I believe he will pop in for open mat on Saturday as well. This week we will have WRPD 12-4pm Wednesday and NEXT week, same times T & W. If anyone would like to come in and help, just come on. Additionally I will be in Dublin 10-2pm working with LCSO T and TH morning this week finishing out my work with them for the year, they have made huge strides and its all due to humility and attitude.

NEXT WEEEEEK we wil have the addition of another youth Muay Thai class for Moon to lead. It will be exciting watching Tim and him mold the next gen. Also the Tuesday night muay thai class will be moved to Friday at 6PM NEXXXT week. I believe that is all of the schedule additions and changes for now.

Curriculum. X choke vs Trap Bridge and roll from the mount
Adults: More demolishing from mount.
