Changing Lives at Capoeira Academy Okinawa

Changing lives one class at at time.... 

I think as instructors we are always working so hard, and working so fast that we fail to see the impact we can have on lives as a role model. Of course change is easy to see when you step away for a second and look at the big picture in the school or an individual's life. But it is down the road, days, weeks or years from now that you truly understand the impact you had on an adult or youth's life. That is why it should be every instructor's goal to live up to the role of a role model. A role model may not be what we want to be, but by the very nature of what we do it is inevitable. It is inevitable that we pass on upstanding character and integrity by our actions inside and outside of the academy, studio or dojo. It is our duty to not only teach people martial arts and self defense, but teach them about life. +Capoeira Academy Okinawa
