1) Competition brings out current potential
When you go head to head with another person, you HAVE to put your best technique forward. If you don't, you don't win.
This helps students see that they can do more, and they grow as a result
2) Competition builds mental toughness
Whether it's sparring or forms, you need to have a champion mindset to win. Now more than ever, this is an invaluable quality to develop
By competing and challenging themselves, students can build that mental toughness
I think that last one is more important now than ever, given the current state of the Corona Circumstance
We need to become mentally tough and resilient to the challenges it's created and so do our kids
The tournament is next Friday, December 11th from 5:30 - 7pm
