Knowledge is Power.....NOT!!

Action is more meaningful and doing.
Many have access to knowledge 24 / 7 with Google, Socia media right at their finger tips and doing but never do.
They cirumnavigate the system to fit their agenda and pull up knowledge when needed give advice but never live it....

Talent or smarts or someone who takes action everyday with persistence and action.
●This is the person I want in my karate School, on my team, staff, busines, or friend.
Knowledge, wisdom, and action of doing is needed for success..

Big shout out to all of the Black Belts who came in to help facilitate the Brown, Black and Nidan Testing tonight.
You will see pictures down below of the parents and loved ones who made it possible for the testers.
Then Testers and parents and loved ones together and then Black Belts who gave up their time to to help test because it is what we do teach and 'Do The Deal'.
Thank you (Parents) we call Tribe.

Thank you!

Victim-hood, struggle-hood, broke-hood seem to be apart of our society.

You can't even say something nice about people obtaining something new or an accomplishment without jealousy rearing it's head.

WHY not celebrate the Billionares, and even Elon Musk Trillionare accomplishment?

Being in business for 47 years I am learning that the more I celebrate people's accomplishments and share in their enthusiasm and teach success I enjoy life a lot more.
If one does not have why be jealous?
Figure away to look at the glass as half full and not half empty.

Many accomplished people love to share their insights, beliefs, and strategies.
They say, if you read self help books, listen to milionares, hang with millionares you obtain that mindset.
Knowledge is power!

My WHY for reading the Bible, and studying it not for riches on earth but for the kingdoms glory and wisdom and insights into Christ's teachings.
An edge in a dark world....

The insights of last night's accomplishments, love, and commaraderie was so well put by Miguel Caraballo Sr. at last night's Black Belt pre-test prep talk after seeing everyone helping and cheering for everyone. He said, " I LOVE THE CHEERING..."
Thanks Miguel for sharing, and being apart of giving back and your inspiring words....

The celebrations of ones accomplishments are told in real time tonight at Long's Shotokan Karate Academy with 18 students DOING THE DEAL in testing for Black Belt.

If you have ever trained, or been apart of our academy lets root them on and please comment....

Please celebrate and step out of the Broke-Hood, Struggle-Hood mentality.
If you are apart of the Victim-Hood mentality your future awaits.
Many have had to put off testing because of finances, transportation, work schedule, or sickness.
Perseverence, and tenacity of the goal you seek awaits....

Celebrating you parents tonight for insightful inspiration and dedication towards your loved ones and kids support.
We will take a group picture of all parents who have kids or loved ones testing
Bring your smile 😃...
What a contrast of the doers and the cannon that when the trigger is pulled in support a child or loved one is propelled into life...
Parents (Tribe) pushing their kids and loved ones for excellence...
Thank you Tribe!❤️

Hands up Long's Shotokan Karate.

Heard this sometime ago.
If you are off one degree while taking off and flying for a while you can miss your target by 100 miles.

Miss your training, and details and you miss out on collecting your award or winning.
Off 1 Degree you miss your mark.

Mess up a throw you are countered as seen below being countered and thrown by Sensei Mike Hillen with Osoto-Makikomi
Ouch....🤠

Stay focused or in Japanese Karate - Judo we say, "Check your 'Kime' (FOCUS)
