White belt vs. Black belt

Quick thought on belts, and what they all mean.. 

Children need to be confident, not tough. 

They should grow up learning that hard work pays off, and that goal setting is important in life. 

What's crazy to me is how many martial arts schools have karate classes that focus on all the wrong things! 

Too many schools out there are missing an opportunity to teach children about respect, focus, and self control.. The things that really matter... 

I guess this is why we've made it a point to make that the focus of our lessons.

Kids in our karate classes learn about leadership and actually get a chance to lead their peers! Immediately white belts start looking at ways to improve their efforts at home and in school, that us how they'll move to yellow belt and beyond. 

So really in our school the only difference between a white belt and black belt is one is just discovering how to be their best and the other has been working hard at it for years.
