School Goals I am committed to teaching my students to prepare themselves mentally, emotionally, and physically to realistically defend themselves regardless of pre-existing conceptions, ideas, or physical condition. I want to encourage growth of both the Tiger (physical skills and prowess) and of the Dragon (spiritual preparedness and maturity) in the Martial Arts. I maintain that the quality of training enhances the quality of learning, and hold my instructors, my students, and myself to the same standard. Physical size or condition should not limit the individual's potential for growth within the art. I am committed to helping my students achieve their own maximum potential individually. Self-Defense is only one dimension of the total growth achieved. Flexibility, strength, conditioning, an enhanced self-image, and overall higher self-esteem, combined with a more centered perspective are attributes that are also improved while training in the Art. The better one is prepared for conflict, the less likely we are to become engaged in it. While my classes may not be for everyone, everyone is invited to become a part of Kenpo.
