GET THE COMPETITIVE EDGE
To achieve a competitive edge
requires dedication and hard work.
It is the ability to go above and
beyond the ordinary and make it
extraordinary.
Having a competitive edge is an
asset in all areas of life. It causes
you to “Strive for Excellence” in
everything you do.
The competitive edge is a Black Belt
Quality that ensures the best
possible outcome for you in any
given circumstance. It does not
mean that you will automatically
win. What it does mean is that you
will have given your best effort by
going above and beyond the
ordinary.
You can find examples of the
competitive edge everywhere, at
school, at work, and in your
community. It is what makes you
stand out from your peers!
To be competitive at a martial arts
tournament students must train
hard. Most important they must
believe in themselves and give their
best effort. Students can improve
their competitive edge by joining
the LMA Black Belt Club, Extreme
Tricking Class or taking Individual
Lessons.
The competitive edge goes beyond
competing in a tournament. It is
what makes an employer choose
you over the next candidate for the
position. It is what you gain when
you strive to always give your best.
An outstanding work ethic provides
the best opportunities in life.
Think Great! Be Great!
Team LMA has
outstanding competition
tradition. Be part of the
excitement!
BODY, MIND, SPIRITBLUE ZONES PROJECT
The Blue Zone Project has participants engaging in the activities that research has shown are essential for happiness, health, and longevity. At Link’s Martial Arts our goal is to introduce our students to these ideas, providing information and a supportive social group as we continue to strengthen our body, mind, and spirit through martial arts training.
“Blue Zones uses the Japanese word, Moai, meaning a group of lifelong friends, or a social
group that provides support.Together we truly can achieve more!
“Eliminate the hidden sugar from Your diet”
“Explore, Expand, and Enjoy the Many Benefits of Consuming a Plant Based diet.”
Continuing to make small changes in what we consume is key in obtaining and maintaining health.
“A Plant Based Diet has a Positive Impact on Your Body, Mind, & Spirit”
What are the Blue Zones Secrets to a long and happy life? What things stack the deck in favor of Happiness, community well-being, and longevity?
The happiest people in the world have purpose, pride in their past accomplishments, and find pleasure doing things they love.
How can we test ourselves if we are happy?
Ask Yourself:
To what extent do you find meaning and significance in your work?
Can you explain your sense of life’s purpose in a phrase or a sentence?
How often do you socialize with people that you like?
How often do you access nature? (Walk or hike)
How much physical exercise do you get each day?
Do you have clear life goals and are you making progress toward them?
“Asking the above questions of yourself and knowing your sense of purpose is worth up to seven years of extra life expectancy.” (Why I wake up in the morning)
The world’s longest lived people have friends (Moai-family) that supported healthy behaviors.
Link’s Martial Arts supports exercise, healthy behaviors and shows support for our students and their families. LMA is truly your network for a healthier, happier life through training body, mind, and spirit.
Together we can address issues that can result in a healthier environment for all of our family-Moai.
Link’s Martial Arts “Where families strive for excellence.”
“Food choices are not about being strict or perfect. Food choices are about making
better decisions for your health over time” Link’s Martial Arts
