MKG Madison Weekly Newsletter – January 20th

Yes, but there are not as many changes as you would think. We tried a different way of approaching our Focus Classes and to be honest, it didn’t work as well as we liked. So, we are adjusting.

Man, they went fast!

All of our used thai pads have been sold. The early warm definately got the worm this time. They were all gone by Tuesday evening.

We don’t have any plans to replace any other equipment right now but, we will let you know if we do!

This unit we are talking about Respect.

What is respect? It kind of hard to define, so for us it means;

“Being thankful for the people in our lives and also being thankful for the things they do for us.”

This week we will be taking specifically about Self Respect.

MKG Kids, what is the best way to show respect for yourself? I am sure there are many ways. We will talk about doing your best this week. If you are thankful for the gifts and talents you have, you should use them to the best of your ability. Whatever you do, whether it’s at school, at home or in martial arts class, give 100% of your effort. Then no matter how well you do you know that you gave your all and that is something to be proud of! teachers, coaches and instructors.

Give it 100% of your effort, 100% of the time in everything you do!

Techiques this week we will be focusing on Jun Fan Combinations, Pummeling and a crowd favorite the Ippon Seoi Nage (Single arm shoulder throw).
