Moral of the Month: Resiliency
With the new year we have new morals of the dojo for the next six months:
January: Respect
February: Perseverance
March: Community
April: Patience
May: Kindness
June: Valor
Respect continues to be the first moral of the dojo at it is a fundamental part of training in martial arts.
Showing respect to someone means you act in a way that shows you care about his or her feelings and well-being. To treat someone with respect means to treat that person as you would want to be treated.
Besides respecting other people and places, we will also talk to students about self-respect. Self-respect is essentially having pride and confidence in yourself and behaving with honor and dignity. It is not contingent on success or failure but rather a perception of your own self in relation to your fundamental humanity. We cannot buy self-respect or obtain it from other people; we have to build it ourselves by making choices that prioritize our care and growth.
Self-respect also entails standing up for yourself when someone is disrespecting you or treating you poorly. Practicing self-care and setting healthy boundaries is also an important aspect of self-respect.. Building upon self-respect will simultaneously help students with their self-esteem and worth and allow them to feel capable of tackling life’s challenges.
