In closing, We do certifications twice a year to acknowledge progress both internally and externally. As an instructor team our goal is to facilitate progress with the concept of equanimity of spirit.

We developed a mission statement many years ago… probably 30 years ago or so… Here it is: “To bring out the best mentally, physically and spiritually in our students and in ourselves in the long term through the martial arts”.

A couple of interesting points to mention or clarify in regards to this mission statement. 1. Students and others are mentioned first and ourselves second. Setting an example is also important. 2. The three battles of the mind/Body/ Spirit are mentioned to develop a well rounded perspective that does not ignore other less tangible parts of ourselves and others. 3. We mention Long term because mixed martial arts and life and not sprints, and a long term/big picture is important for well rounded success on and off the mat.

Again, Thank you to the awesome instructor team and student team. Moving forward in the martial arts tradition of the ‘Power of the OSU’…;)
