Proud Moment

This morning during sparring class, something special happened. After about 12 rounds, one of my students landed a perfectly timed front kick. It was so clean and effortless that I couldn’t help but feel proud. It was a moment that reminded me of why I do this—to help my students grow and improve. I know some might feel challenged in that situation or feel the need to prove themselves, but for me, it was a confirmation that I’m on the right path. My goal has always been for my students to surpass me, just as my Sensei taught me. There’s something truly fulfilling in seeing the people you teach excel at something you love.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

FOCUS

A post shared by Gene Crawford (@crawfish)

FOCUS 🫁 There will be days where the problems outnumber the solutions. 🫀 Change out the focus from being on the problems and look at them as opportunities to improve! 🧠 Where your thoughts go your energy flows.

Be patient. Nothing worth doing is worth doing quickly. Nothing worth building is worth building in a rush. Nothing of value is formed in a minute.

When you see someone doing something truly great, remember that’s all you’re seeing in that moment. What you don’t see is all the hours of work and hundreds of basic reps they’ve put in. It takes a long time to get good at something, so embrace the grind and you’ll get there too!

An optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. Even if you aren’t successful in your first attempt, learn from it and you will never fail.

It took INSPIRATION to get you started. Then MOTIVATION to get you to act. It will take DISCIPLINE to get you to your goal. Learn to create positive daily habits and do them over and over and over again NO MATTER WHAT and I promise you will get results. #discipline #kaizen #nevergiveup (at West Columbia, South Carolina)
