English’s Corner
by John English
It’s amazing how fast summer has seemed to go this year! As we
head into another school year, I wanted to give the kids some tips for a
successful school year start! Parents, use these tips to help your kids
begin the school year right!
1.
Eat a healthy breakfast every day.
2.
Keep your eyes and ears on your teacher.
3.
Do your homework as soon as you can and give it your best effort.
4.
Tell your parents when you do well at school, and ask them for help too.
5.
It’s OK to ask questions when you don’t understand
6.
Read every day
7.
Get plenty of exercise, find some physical activity that you enjoy and go out and do it!
8.Go to bed at your scheduled time and mentally practice your martial arts to help fall
asleep faster.
Let’s KILL it this school year TEAM!
God bless!
Looking forward to seeing you in class!

Miller’s Minute
Ultimate Frisbee, Ultimate Thought
Every year our dojo takes students to a camp on Lake Winnipesaukee for the weekend. Karate Camp offers
students lots of good training, swimming and activities. With any luck, it’s also a time when the students learn
something about themselves. The older students are dragged out of bed early in the morning for calisthenics on
the lake’s sandy beach and usually subjected to some sort of mental and physical challenge. The younger ones are
given a little more responsibility and freedom for the weekend but required to follow a set of rules and are held
accountable for their decisions and behavior. All weekend the student’s are pushed and challenged.
During the weekend, I’ll witness several moments where students make little breakthroughs and
realizations about who they are and what they’re capable out. This year one of those moments happened during a
pickup game of Ultimate Frisbee.
One of the older students, a great kid filled with passion and drive, jumped on to my team. He’s the kind of kid
that is up for anything and, because of his drive and willingness to work with a team, is an asset to any group. (He’s
also tall, which is always a good thing in Ultimate Frisbee.)
As our team faded back to throw the Frisbee to the other team, this young man was already declaring
our victory. The white disk sailed high into the sunny sky over the field until it slowed and floated into the hands
of our competition. After a few good passes and battles over catching the Frisbee, we finally gained possession.
Being athletic and fast, this young man was immediately open and pumping toward the goal line. I snapped the
disk to him. He accelerated, creating a comfortable distance between himself and the person covering. He reached
the disk. Stretching, his fingertips met the Frisbee perfectly then he fumbled and dropped it. Immediately, he was
angry with himself.
The game went on. Every time the disk was passed to him he would get to it but drop it. His anger turned to
disappointment in himself. Phrases like, “I can’t believe I missed it,” changed to, “I stink.” The spark went out of his
eyes and his shoulders slumped. He was now missing the Frisbee before it was even thrown.
“You’ve already lost in your head,” I told him. “Know you can catch the Frisbee and catch it.”
“Yes Sir!” He said as he smiled and stood tall. My words had reminded him of something he already knew. Our
biggest challenge – the one thing most likely to defeat us – is our own thoughts. We must win in our minds before
we have a chance of winning outside of them. As I say to my six-year-old, “If you want to be the boss of yourself
you have to be the boss of how you think [and react].)
He caught the next pass and most of the subsequent passes.
It was a great moment for him and a great reminder to me of how directly our thoughts affect our actions and
performance. The trick, the last phase, is to tell yourself to have the thoughts, to transition from some else
disciplining your thinking to self-discipline. A transition I’m sure this young man will make soon.

Focus On The Journey
by Craig Wharem
The hardest part of Martial Arts training is the first class. Stepping into a
world full of mystique, Where You aren’t sure what will happen. Just that there will
be things you’ve seen on TV. I remember stepping onto the Mat for the first time. I
remember before my first class when I walked in the front door of the Dojo, Saw the
other kids and turned around to leave. I almost made it, Hand outstretched to the
handle when I heard the instructor, Mr.English, Shout “Hey Craig! Good to see ya!”. I was trapped! I had
been seen, How was I supposed to leave now? There was a Black belt blocking the way.. I had no clue
what I was in for, I sat quietly in the circle and I gave it my all (Which wasn’t much.). Then it happened, I
blinked and now I’m sitting here writing a blog about the Martial Arts. As I sit here and the memories flood
my mind I can’t help but be in awe. I can’t remember what I liked about the Martial Arts so much. I was
never the best in my class, I tried hard but was not athletically gifted. I’m still not the best even after all
these years, but I strive to do the best that I possibly can.
The Martial Arts changed my life and it is for that reason I became a Sensei and I work so hard to
further my progression. By my successes I can help give back to the younger generations now stepping
onto the mat for the first time. At the time I was tested for my Nidan (Second Degree Black Belt) I needed
to participate in a Q&A segment. The panel of black belts testing me went down the line and asked me
various questions. One of them was “What on your journey led you to this point?”. That was a question
that I was not prepared for, I had no real idea on what led me to this point. It seemed to me at the time that
it was more of a series of small events that led me to that day, that place and that time. It is now as I write this that I realize that it’s the small steps of a process that makes it great. When
I started Martial Arts I never realized Black belt was something that was in my reach. I never understood
that I too had the potential to be a martial arts instructor someday. It always seemed out of reach to me.
The lesson to me in this would be that life changing events that occur always seem out of reach. Take
everything one step at a time, if you do that anything could be possible.
What is a goal you have? Something you want to accomplish? It’s never too late to begin chasing
that dream! Pursue it and witness the magic!
