Personal Essay for 1st dan Testing

Dear
Friends,
A sound mind in a sound body. The motto of Yu’s Academy. Martial art is a physical activity but it is
a mental activity as well that demands clarity and focus. Grandmaster Yu frequently states that if you
apply yourself to any task both mentally and physically, you can and will
achieve your goals with hard work. This
is very true in all things in life.
Yu’s Academy is a very good fit for my family
because of the discipline and physical nature of martial arts but also for the
ethics that are taught there too. You
learn more than how to kick and punch, there are tenets and rules associated
with martial arts. These rules and tenets are the same values that we teach in
our own home.
I and my sons have been members of Yu’s Academy for
several years. During our time here, I
have seen my boys, Curtis and Brian, improve physically and mentally but more
importantly their self confidence has increased. Their grades in school have improved as well
as their social skills. As a parent, I
am always proud of my children but to see them grow and improve in these areas
is wonderful. If you ask either one of
them what they like about going to Yu’s Academy, they will simply say that they
have fun while they are at class.
The benefits that I have gained are: physical
conditioning (cardio, weight control and flexibility), stress relief,
maintaining a mental sharpness and the friendship of the other students. The friendship that you make here will last a
lifetime.
The number one thing that sets Yu’s Academy apart is
the overall atmosphere there.
Grandmaster Yu is very knowledgeable, caring person that genuinely cares
about what he teaches and his students.
Grandmaster Yu’s philosophy is reflected in the Masters, Instructors and
Black Belts that assist in all the classes.
I highly recommend Yu’s Academy to anyone wanting to get into shape and
learn about the “true” value and meaning of martial arts.
