Traditionally it is a sacred place of learning

First you develop respect for yourself

the black belt signifies an expert in the arts

why I do this job and get so passionate about my students,

remember that nothing in life comes easy…

That is when we truly learn something

infinite wisdom comes with it…

every journey has a starting point

By the end of class I felt right at home.

The goal of a tournament is to create a sense of urgency to expedite growth and development through positive competition

It literally means spirit shout.

At all our events, all competitors are winners and they all learn valuable lessons!

It only takes three things to be successful in this school;

“don’t teach like me, Mr. Vickroy– be yourself.”

I was extremely proud of this student and of the entire student body at that time

When my students get knocked down, I want them to get up again.

I would have never gotten to where I am..

Avoidance is always someone’s first reaction to difficult situations.

Respect is NEVER earned on the sidelines.

modern schools have adopted a consistent belt system to gage the students progress
