Sharing this post! I couldn't agree more! Anyone that knows me knows how passionate I am about martial arts and I have said almost the same thing 1,000's of times! Activities and sports like Hockey, Baseball, Soccer, Gymnastics, Girl/Boy Scouts etc... are all great hobby’s and pass time activities and I let my kids choose whatever activities they want. I categorize swimming lessons differently; swimming is a life skill and non-negotiable in my house. Sooner or later my chil...dren will be exposed to water, (be it a pool, lake, river or ocean) and not having basic swimming skills and confidence around the water will hold them back and could be potentially fatal. They don’t need to be Olympic swimmers but they need enough basic skills to tread water and survive but ideally are competent enough that they don’t have to be nervous or fearful around water. Now apply that same filter to martial arts. It’s a great sport, with all the benefits of traditional sports, but it also teaches self defense which is an essential life skill. In your child’s lifetime, they will almost certainly face the threat of physical violence (often unavoidably and through no fault of their own). When you are attacked, just like in the water, it doesn’t matter how hard you try, without proper training and technique you will panic, thrash & most likely drown. We put our kids in swimming lessons to prepare them, so they can be in the water without fear and tread water if they get in over their heads. The day your child gets confronted by a bully ask yourself; have you given them the tools & confidence to stay calm, protect themselves and survive or have they been thrown in the deep end to fend for themselves? Martial Arts is a mandatory life skill. Change my mind

Goals Vs Dreams 2021

Goals vs Dreams! We are rapidly approaching the new year. I'm sure you are as eager to put 2020 behind you as I am. As we look to 2021 in the hopes of a better year, it's time to as yourself, "What am i going to do with 2021?... What do i want to achieve, attain, accomplish in the next year?" Let LEMA help you find success in your Goal Setting for 2021. Read the following tips for successful Goal Setting! 2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways. More so now than in years past, people are looking for the proverbial clean slate and reset that comes with the start of a new year. With start of a new year, it is common for people to set new year's resolutions or as we refer to them as new year's goals. Here are some tips in helping you stick with your goals and be successful in accomplishing them in 2021. First you must understand the difference between a dream and a goal. Both are things we would like to have, acquire, or accomplish. The fundamental difference is, dreams we let happen and goals we make happen. To be successful this year at making your goals come true, follow these steps. What-Why-When-How-Remind 1. What? - Decide on your goal. 2. Why? - Ask yourself why the goal is important you? Knowing why it is important will help you stick with it and not just dismiss it. 3. When? - Set a target date for achieving this goal. This keeps you from pushing your goal off to a later date. 4. How? - Figure out a plan of action to help you achieve this goal. Follow the plan! 5. Remind - Lastly, post the goal somewhere where you will see it on a daily basis to help remind you to stay on track. Post it on your fridge, bulletin board at work, or even daily digitial reminders in your phone or Alexa device. If you would like to share your goals with the us at LEMA, please make us a copy or email them to me at [email protected] Make a commitment to yourself to let NOTHING stop you from achieving your goals. You are bound to encounter obstacles/goal barriers along the way. Whether a global pandemic, illness, time, money, relationships, injury, or just laziness, something will undoubtedly challenge you to not accomplish your goals. Promise yourself now that you will overcome your obstacles and accomplish your goals.......and you will! I am hoping some of you will be setting goals to return to the mat in 2021. The hardest part about starting again is deciding to. You just need to walk through the front door and we will help you with the rest! I look forward to seeing your face in the coming weeks! "Your focus determines your reality." Qui-Gon Jinn See you on the mat in 2021!

Hello LEMA family. We are looking to bring in some new friends for the start of the new year. We are looking to add about 12-18 of these guys so that we can continue to offer the best training around in the safest possible environment. Ironically, the poly-fil that is used in these guys costs more than the Grappling Dummy himself. As you know, Small Business is on a major budget. Looking to see if anyone knows where we can get poly-fil cheap and in bulk. #LEMAstrong
