Black Belt PhilosophyGOAL SETTING

“What you get by reaching your destination isn’t nearly as important as what you become by reaching that destination.” - Zig Ziglar

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars.” - Les Brown

“The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.” - Cecil B. DeMille

“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” - Epictetus

Martial Arts PerspectiveTae Kwon Do is distinct from all other forms of sport and recreation because it provides a built in tangible goal system, the Black Belt curriculum. This curriculum provides short and long term goals represented by the different color belts. Beginning ranks, such as a yellow belt, can be achieved with two to three months of consistent effort and attendance. Promotion between higher ranks such as those at the red belt level and up, require three or more months of time and study. On average, a dedicated student can attain their Black Belt within three to four years from the date that they started training. All of your instructors are happy to provide guidance and advice on setting and achieving your personal Tae Kwon Do goals.

When you attend classes, you will find that your instructors will challenge you with different goals each time. During some classes you will work on curriculum goals, being taught the new requirements necessary for advancement. At other classes you will work on technical goals, refining the balance, speed or power with which you perform techniques you have already learned. By combining effort in both of these areas, you will improve both your understanding and execution of all of the requirements necessary to become a Black Belt. Together with your instructors, you should set specific goals for attaining each belt rank and identifying those areas that you need to improve prior to being tested.

Life Skills PerspectiveThe power of goal setting is not limited to belt achievement only. By applying a short and long term perspective to school, work, and family projects, you can motivate yourself and make step-by-step progress towards your goals. Take the time to set goals for the important things you wish to achieve and you will get closer to attaining them.

The following formula will help you to achieve your goals.

1. Choose a Specific goal. Be clear on exactly what it is that you are trying to achieve. You may find it helpful to write down your goals using descriptive, precise language. Remember to include a deadline of when you want to be able to say, “Mission accomplished!”

2. Design a Step-by-Step Plan. Some goals will require a lengthy amount of time and effort. Design stages or benchmarks that you can use to mark your progress and keep yourself motivated.

3. Take Consistent Action. Be disciplined about making the activities necessary for achieving your goal part of your daily routine. Be patient and take pride in even small amounts of progress or improvement.

4. Evaluate your progress. You should constantly monitor and measure your results. If you like what you see, keep doing what produced the results. If something isn’t working, change your approach. Study your methods and you will increase your chances of finding the best way to achieve your goal.
