We Now Have An Interim Space

We now have an interim space!
GET YOUR TRAINING FACE ON!
Classes resume in this next week at regular time on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday - in the basement of the old dojo at 7403 Manchester Rd. (in the Kickboxing / MMA downstairs training space - Senpai will have key).
Tues: 7am-8:30am (adult), 5pm-6pm (kids), 6pm-8pm (adult)
Thurs: 7am-8:30am (adult), 5pm-6pm (kids), 6pm-8pm (adult)

Now is not the time to take a break.
Now is not the time to let your training fizzle out...
Now is the time to hit the mat and tear it up!
NOW is the time to be the strongest dojo family we can be - with or without a building of our own, we are THREE RIVERS!
Your dojo needs you!
If TRA (or Sensei) has ever impacted you, changed your life, made a difference in who you (or your kids) are, comforted you without questions or judgement, moved your boxes, paid for lunch, let you throw because it just wasn't a good day...
the time has come that you can give back!
Show your support and your pride in this amazing family.
We aren't asking for donations. We are asking for YOU!

WE ARE NOT A BUILDING!

8 Amazing Benefits Children Gain From Martial Arts

Transcribed and adapted from a video produced by “World of Martial Arts Television” People often view the Martial Arts as a violence fueling activity that makes children more aggressive.  Well, nothing could be further from the truth.  The Martial Arts does prepare the child for the violent nature of society, yes, that much is obvious.  But there is a far deeper benefit from training in the martial arts. 1. Increased self discipline This is one of the most underestimated parts of martial arts is that they deliver so much value in life .  Teach kids the power of self-discipline and they will be able to succeed when faced with adversity and they will become a champion in life . 2. Improved Social Skills/Make Friends For Life Every drill, or game or throw requires children to work in co-operation .  The child learns that they improve by working with their peers and this is a valuable lesson in real life.  This leads to greater connection and...

"A New Year's Resolution without Resolve is Laziness (and You Know It)!" - By: Tyra Leesman

If you've recently made your New Year's resolutions for 2018, congrats! You've made the first step toward bettering your life. Unless, of course, you made those resolutions without the resolve to complete them. I'm not talking about "I'll give it a shot!" or even "I'll give it my BEST shot!". Resolve  means you want   to reach your goal, you have a plan  to reach your goal, and you actually make the effort  to reach your goal. It's the trifecta or no-fecta! You won't lose that weight by WISHING for it hard enough. But you know that. The problem with humans is that we know what to do, we just don't know how to make ourselves do it. We spend billions of dollars a year on industries that promise us success. Gym memberships, supplements, nicotine patches, personal finance classes... There seem to be a million ways to get yourself motivated (if you have the cash) and popping a pill or pinning an inspirational quote on Pinterest s...

"To Not Train is Not Good" - by Senpai John Aughey (May 2017)

The tl;dr version is, the phrase "I have to train" or "I must train" spoken in Japanese is said, "to not train is not good."  Think about that.  The phrase has the same meaning, but a very different connotation. Conjugating Japanese verbs is relatively easy. to go - iku いく to go (polite) - ikimasu いきます to not go - ikimasen いきません then suddenly... have to go - ikanakutewaikemasen  いかなくてはいけません Boy, that escalated quickly!  I had to consult with Japanese speakers to decipher that one.  What this translates to literally is, "to not go is not good" or "if I do not go it is not good".  This double negative becomes an affirmative providing a sense of urgency to the mandate. So to conjugate a word for to train or to practice becomes 稽古 to train - keikosuru けいこする to train (polite) - keikoimasu けいこ します to not train - keikoimasen けいこ しまん must train - keikoshinakutewaikemasen けいこしなくてはいけません Or literally, ...
