What can I say about this young man? He never ceases to amaze me. He is so naturally gifted and yet works so very hard to improve and better himself in everything he does. His school work and grades are top notch, he plays football basketball, baseball and karate and does ALL of them at 100%, ALWAYS. I can't say enough about the love he shares with everyone around him. He is ALWAYS in such a wonderful and joyful mood. It's contagious and infectious and brings a warmth and smile to everyone.
I'm so so very proud of this young man and all of his hard work. I can't wait to see where he goes from here
Agf Grappling tournament Biloxi-
Some WINS are the GREATEST DEFEATS! It doesn't matter win, lose, or draw, you will NEVER WIN if you don't TRY! Here at FULL CIRCLE MARTIAL ARTS we have two rules. The 1st is ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION!!! The 2nd is "The ONLY answer is HAI- YES!!!!!!" You may NEVER say, "I can't!", "I am NOT able to!", I QUIT!" or ANY other NEGATIVE statement! As Bruce Lee once said;
"Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Our favorite MANTRA is borrowed, INSPIRED, and FOLLOWED from the U.S. Navy Seals- "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday!" "NO EASY DAY!" If you want to become your "HIGHEST BEST SELF"? Then come join us at Full Circle Martial Arts
