This little cutie deserves all the high fives this month because he is showing awesome progress, dedication and passion - and that at just 4 years old!
He runs in the door, peels off his winter layers in record timing and jumps on the mat ready to focus and eager to learn. He's following his black belt dad's footsteps and we're all very happy about it. Bravo Cédric! ....

Thought I'd share my two cents on competitions today:
In truth, I am not in favour of forcing people to compete to progress through the ranks. That being said, competitions can bring a lot to your development as a martial artist and as a person. Some say that win or lose, you learn as much from a 5 minute round as you would from 3 months of training. Speaking from personal experience, competing has helped me deepen my understanding of the martial arts I practice. I do recommend competing at least occasionally, for several reasons, a few being:
Learn to perform and apply your skills under pressure.
Basically, both you and your opponent are there to win, no one wants to lose and just that ....
This brave young boy recently overcame his fears and earned his spot in the intermediate group and we are so proud of his progress!
He is a hungry learner and shows up with focus and intent. He makes an effort to connect with the people he meets and leaves a positive trace wherever he goes. Frederick - tu commences super bien ton aventure en arts martiaux. Gardes ton enthousiasme et ta soif de t'améliorer et tu trouveras toujours moyen d'accomplir tes objectifs dans la vie! ....
This is what passion means to us:
We love martial arts. We love doing it, training it, watching it, talking about it, thinking about it.
We love how it’s helped us and shaped us but most of all we love sharing it and inspiring others. And we strive to ignite that passion in the people we share it with so that one day roles are reversed and we are learning from and being inspired by them.
The world around us is built in a way that encourages conformity, that celebrates us if we fit ourselves into a box that is defined by what other people think we should be. We all do it. We lay out our own expectations of how everyone else should be and we in turn succumb to the pressure of ....
Each season we open one week of classes to friends & family with the intention of providing an opportunity for us all to share what we do & love with those who need it.
SOME GUIDING THOUGHTS FOR STUDENTS
Do you know anyone who loves a good challenge & is always up for an adventure? Who enjoys being active but seeks purpose behind it? Invite them to join you in class for a week - at the very least it'll be a fun evening for you both and that is okay, too! Why should you bring a friend?
Extra fun drills, challenges & partner games Pair up with your friend & help them feel at ease (we've all been there!) Enjoy a good laugh and have some fun! Help us connect with others who ....
Meet Michelle - mom of 2 and Kickboxing addict!

She's been working so hard and has just recently earned her bronze certification. We know that with a mindset like hers, her journey in this art will be meaningful and so rewarding.

One thing I often get asked by parents wanting to sign up their kids in our kids Jiu Jitsu program is whether or not it’s going to teach them some kind of self control. Often, even if they’ve heard about the benefits, they have some kind of doubt about enrolling their kids in something that will teach them to kick and punch and throw and grapple.
The fear is that it will promote violent behaviour in their kid.
It’s always been hard for me to answer that question. Although martial arts has helped me in many ways, I am not someone that leans towards violence in general and have never been, hence, I have never needed to control that in myself. It was self evident to me that ....
It is hard to believe that it has been 7 years already since Xavier started his journey in Jiu Jitsu as a Little Ninja.
He has always flown under the radar but his dedication and perseverance has definitely paid off. He has challenged himself as a member of the demo team, and is pushing hard & growing fast in his last stretch before he earns his Junior Black Belt. Xavier - we can see that this goal has sparked a new energy in you. We're so happy of the improvement and progress you have shown in these last few months. Way to go Xavier!! ....
We love watching our grandkids in action at 100% Martial Arts & Fitness in Embrun. It is a family friendly place, and a real asset to this community. The staff is friendly and professional. It is always clean and there is always something fun going on at the dojo!
Joined last April after moving to the area. The instructors are great, and you can tell they make sure to create a friendly environment for everyone. Everyone is friendly, you get to learn new skills that challenge you to become a better version of yourself. It is fantastic and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun way to keep active!
