For many of our families, they will be celebrating Easter with their families this month and we want to wish each of these families a Happy Easter.
As we look forward to Spring time and more outside activities, remember that your body needs to acclimate to the change in weather. During work outs, the temperature in the studio may be warmer and you need to be careful to be properly hydrated. While working and playing outside, cooler temperatures can seem very warm and you must remember to still dress appropriately for the outside temperatures.
Ahn's Tournament Our school has participated in Master Ahn's tournament for the past several years. This is are very good tournament with competitors from all over the Midwest. The tournament is one of the best in the area and those student's wanting to compete against a wide array of martial artists should signup for this tournament.
Hamilton-Fairfield TKD Tournament Volunteers We need volunteers for our tournament scheduled for May 20th to help with check-in, food, judging, and refereeing. If you can help for part of this tournament, please contact Master Huffstutler.

Optimism means seeing the good or hopeful aspects about a situation. It is the power of the mind to think positively, especially when conditions are difficult. An optimist is a person who looks for good in things and is certain that good things will happen. Being optimistic is a powerful way to help you accomplish goals and live a happy and healthy life.
Optimists have positive attitudes, but that does not mean they simply go around trying to be happy all of the time. Optimists are hopeful about their skills and abilities. Optimists try their very best in sports, school, and work. They understand that if they remain hopeful and apply their very best, then they will reap the benefits.
Optimistic people also try to find something positive in the face of hardship or tragedy. It is often difficult to find good in the face of something bad, but how you react can drastically affect the outcome. Even if the positive thing gained out of a tragedy is simply a good attitude or personal strength, optimism enables you to remain on your feet.
Are you an optimistic person?
Here are a few examples of how you can be optimistic:
How optimistic are you? Rate yourself on a scale of 0-5. If you rate yourself low, try to look on the positive side this entire week and then go back and rate yourself again. Keep doing this until optimism become a normal habit. The benefits are worth it.
Being optimistic can really change the outcome of your life. Optimism makes it easier to graduate, find a job, meet new people, stay healthy, and accomplish your goals. The minute you lose your optimism, you will notice your mood is lower. If you teach yourself to consistently remain optimistic, you will find more opportunities in life and you’ll be happier and healthier.
Martial Arts Cryptography: How it works - Each code letter below represents another letter. Guess them all and you break the code! Each time the code letter appears in the text it will represent the same decoded letter. Hints: Each code has a key (the relationship between the code and decoded letters). Observe punctuation. Work on short words first.
Example: L Z Q S H Z K Z Q S R H R F Q D Z S Solution: M A R T I A L A R T S I S G R E A T
