Rants & other Victory News

Rants, cool stuff and other Things that are Important right now.

 

Hey Victory Family,

Got a few things that I wanted to tell you about...

 

  1. ALL Academies COMP Team  Practice and Victory New Comp Team Try outs will be held WED June 15th at the Orland Park Victory located at 15414 70th court in Orland (about 2 blocks from the old academy).

 

 

2. Feedin the Starved in Hondouras: Well, on behalf of the entire staff I want to thank all that participated in last weekends festivities in helping to raise money for us to bring down to hondouras in about a month.

Last year, we raised aout $1,300 and it affected the poor in a big way.

This year, so far $6,000 has been raised out of our 10,000 goal. So we are not far off at all. 

In fact, there is still time to donate if you did not participate and would like to help. Even the smallest amount helps.

I want you to think about this - With just our little effort to "Help", we could feed, cloth and build for families in a whole town for a year!

Let's show what were made of Victory and reach our goal of raising 10,000 and make a huge difference in these peoples lives...Giving them some Victory!

To donate please contact your instructor!

Thank you,

 

Master D

3. Instructor's corner w/ Luke Morris

  Here’s a bit of wisdom that may run counter to what you might expect:  If you train in the martial arts for long enough, sooner or later you will reach a point where you know everything.  That is, you will know all of the individual moves that there are to know.

                This isn’t as controversial a claim as it sounds.  After all, there are limits to the ways in which the human body can move; these limits dictate the maximum different types of movement that the body can undertake.  So, while there are many, many techniques to learn, given a long enough lifetime of studious discipline you could in principle learn them all.

                Yet though only a finite number of particular movements exist for the practitioner to learn, what to do with those moves – when to apply them, how to set them up, ways to combine them, and how to use them in innumerable situations – comes close to infinite.  You can set up the exact same move in indefinitely many ways. 

Let’s say, for instance, that you want to land your cross.  How many different fakes, feints, and combinations can you think of that finish with a cross?  No matter how many variations you can bring to mind today, I’ll bet with work you could come up with a few more tomorrow, and a few more the day after, and so on into the future.  The learning never ends.

So don’t despair in your training if you don’t know it all yet.  No one does!  The greatest martial artists aren’t those who “know everything”, but those who continue learning and improving when others think they know all there is to know.  Once you accept the fact that you will never know everything, you will free yourself to learn everything you can.

4. SHOUT OUTS -

Coach Nico - Steady always steady! keep Lafayette rockin.

The Instructor staff at all the Victory Academies - I want you to know, that after traveling to many famous schools over the years. YOU make Victory what I believe to be the BEST place to get a quality education in martial arts & life skills. You are appreciated and I will always work to better communicate with you and show you how much your appreciated.

Students - You are Victory! The school is you, not the 4 walls in which we hold classses. You are the brave few that have challenged yourself to become more and have foresaken all the distractions to let the process of becoming a black belt change you inside  & out.

Don't become a black belt for the glory - become a black belt for what it will make out of you to become one.

Stay a black belt for what it will do to others around you there is where you find honor!
