Dear CTC Family,

I have often been asked, “What separates a Black Belt Student from every other student? I believe Perseverance and Indomitable Spirit (2 of our 5 Tae Kwon Do tenets) are what separates students from reaching their goal of becoming a Black Belt. To get your Black Belt you must train even when it’s difficult, you’re sore, you have too much work or homework, you drift into many other activities, difficulty handling rejection of not passing difficult tests, you don’t have the full commitment to push yourself, you lose your vision and drive.

Some helpful thoughts to keep you on track:

1) Continue to think BIG – remember when you started as a white belt you dreamed of becoming a Black Belt. That was quite an aggressive but obtainable goal.

2) Make Time – Try to get to class as often as possible but don’t stress out if you miss a class. Remember getting a Black Belt is a marathon not a sprint. Even if you stopped and practiced another sport – when you come back refocus, recommitment to your ultimate goal. (Black Belt)

3) Start to Work – Don’t start to work on your splits, push-ups, sit-ups or running when your a red belt. That is too late. If you miss a class or two make sure you stretch and work on your conditioning.

4) Do not judge or criticize yourself right away – It doesn’t matter if Susie already has her splits as a yellow belt and you don’t as a brown belt. Or if you can’t do a particular kick or board break. By pushing yourself to continually try you will succeed. We are all made differently and have certain strengths and weaknesses. Work on your weaknesses more than your strengths.

5) Pat yourself on your back – Each time you achieve a new rank or master a kick or self defense move recognize your success. Take a moment and say good job (insert your name)

Remember, anything in life that is truly worth something – takes time, commitment and effort in the face of all types of challenges.
