Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Spicar on successfully testing and achieving the ranks of 6th Degree Master Black Belts in Taekwondo!

Today, “Martial Arts family” has been redefined by the increasing popularity of the Martial Arts within entire households. Moms and dads, brothers and sisters are learning the Martial Arts together…

Overnight we learned how to start using the Zoom platform and app, and we started delivering our karate classes in the virtual form,” Adam Spicar, the chief instructor at Reveal, says.

But things at Reveal had to change quickly after the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a pandemic March 11.

Is there something you have dug into your bunker about? Is there a mistake you have made but won't admit, or a person you have offended but won't reconcile with?

What is success? For some people, the attainment of a long term goal is success. For others it may be the completion of smaller tasks. Similarly in Martial Arts training, achieving Black Belt or “under” belts may be what some students consider being successful.

That level of confidence comes from facing the real obstacles they will encounter and then overcoming them. Like anything, the more you practice the better you get at it.

One of the central tenets of all forms of the martial arts is an absolute focus on self-discipline. Today’s kids are so accustomed to receiving instant gratification that lessons in self-restraint and discipline aren’t always easy to come by…

Many times I think the parents of the newer students look out at the floor and see the instructors and black belt kids and say, “Man, I wish my kid tried that hard and looked like that!”
