August 2022 CDP: Perseverance

The message for the month of August is Perseverance! Perseverance is the ability to keep working towards something even if it’s challenging. It’s a very important principle in karate and every student practices it at some point during their journey to black belt. If you are someone who sticks to what they say they’ll do and never gives up, you’ll be known as a hard worker and someone to count on. If you’re having trouble with something you’re working towards, try adjusting your goal to be a bit more attainable, make it more enjoyable by asking a friend to join or envision what it will feel like once you accomplish it. If you practice perseverance, you’ll eventually get to where you’re trying to go!
