At JMAFC HapKiDo, belt grading isn’t just about earning a new rank—it’s about growth, perseverance, and character development. Recently, we had two special grading sessions that showcased the incredible progress of our students.

Thursday, the 13th – Two dedicated Hapkidoin successfully completed a make-up grading, demonstrating the required skills from their age group syllabus with precision and confidence. They worked hard to reach this point, and their success is a testament to their discipline and determination.

Wednesday, the 20th – Three of our youngest warriors, Tiny Tigers (ages 5-6), took to the mat and amazed everyone with their focus, skill, and confidence. Seeing their progress is always inspiring! It is incredible how much they grow, not just in their skill sets but also in their discipline, respect, and self-belief.

At our Dojang, we are not just building martial artists; we are cultivating character. Every class, every challenge, and every belt grading is an opportunity for students to develop patience, perseverance, and inner strength, qualities that extend far beyond the mat and into their daily lives.

We are so proud of each and every one of our students! Keep training, keep growing, and keep striving for excellence! 🥋💪

Strength of Body, Focus of Mind, Calmness of Spirit.
