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
