Kwan Zu!


Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results. -Anon-

Latest Update

Well as the time came to figure out if Cameron Mr.Trank and I passed it was very nerve racking.I don't know if Mr.Trank was nervous,or relaxed to figure out if he passed since he broke every single one of his boards at the test.While as for Cam and I we were just a little bit.When we found out on Monday that we didn't pass we were devastated at first.But hey, it's just a learning experience right.It took a couple of days to adjust to the fact that it's just giving us more time to prepare for the test in October.Here's the exciting part.On Wednesday after school, my mom told us about the make-up mock black belt test on the fifth of April .When I heard the news I was overwhelmed. After that I said to myself ''OK so from now until Sunday I will practice as hard as I can, to pass this test.''On Sunday if I don't happen to pass, at least I'll be prepared for the next one.But I know I will pass because I will have a positive attitude.Mrs. Wilmott also gave me some encouraging words.She told me not to think of it as a test,but to think of it as a tournament.I mean, going up against the Jr.black belts in the tournament was challenging but I wanted to place, and I did.So when I go up there to test again on Sunday I will remember Mrs.Wilmott's words and taking them to heart.Before I sign off I would like to thank everyone who is supporting cam and I, specifically Mr.trank and Mrs.Wilmott.You guys have brought my confidence up to a new high level in Martial Arts.You guys rock the academy in my opinion.

Tests

At my last black belt test i did not pass and it was devestateing but when i found out i had a second chanse i was so exsited. Im glad master kuek is doing this because its a second chanse for not only for me but for every one who did not pass the 1st time.
