Spring is one of those times when the lessons I've received from my teacher over the years are directly reflected in the simplicity of nature. As I watch the world reawaken from its cold, frozen slumber and experience the warmth of a new Spring, I remember that even the worst of times - the less than pleasant - will pass and give way to new opportunities for growth and beauty.
Our training reflects this same lesson. Students, both beginner and experienced, comfortable in their set patterns of habitual actions, experience the discomfort associated with the 'new.' But with attitudes firmly set on attaining the prize and characters predisposed to facing challenges and overcoming difficulty, they find that, with time and diligent study, the discomfort turns into newfound abilities and the opportunity to do more than before.
This Spring, like many milestones in the history of WCI, marks another series of new beginnings which will make 2005 our best year ever. Since the New Year, we continue to welcome more new members to the WCI family. Add to this the pride we feel as many of our students approach their Black Belt exam, and you have the makings of a truly remarkable atmosphere! As the size of classes and the number of dedicated students seeking an education in martial increases, so does our need for upgraded systems and procedures for making our students' experience as positive and powerful as possible.
As we move confidently into the next few months, you'll want to keep your eye on the training events and opportunities that make being a part of WCI, not just an investment in your future safety and security, but FUN! It's also time to reactivate the demo team for highlighting the academy in the surrounding communities. We are already receiving requests for demonstrations at some of the upcoming events. This is a sign of how well we are perceived in the area and I am very proud to share it with all of you!
So, if you're local to us, I hope that you'll join us for training. If you're not, I hope you'll make the effort to be with us for a seminar or two in the near future.
And speaking of training, here's a great seminar for you to consider:
Spring Ninja Camp April 15th - 17th, 2005!
But, time is running out! We must have our total numbers in to the camp this week for meals and lodging - and to the screen printer for shirt totals and sizes.
Be sure to check the site often as it is growing by leaps and bounds. I will be adding several event flyers to the seminars page at:
Seminars at Warrior Concepts International
And, coming soon - I will be seeking dedicated partners to help market WCI events in other areas! You'll be able to join in the success and growth of Warrior Concepts by arranging, setting up, sponsoring, or selling WCI products, services, and seminars! More Information to following in the coming days.
As always, be safe.
Peace and Happiness,
Shidoshi Jeffrey M. Miller
