Rapid Kick Division – If there is a tie there is to be a 2nd round, if tie again, break the tie with paper, rock, scissor.

Sparring Division – It takes one person to confirm a point.

Weapons Division – If someone drops their weapon, it’s a point deduction. If a competitor breaks their weapon at no fault of their own they have 90 seconds to replace it with no deduction. If they are unable to replace their weapon or break their weapon due to their form, they forfeit the round.

You’ll learn about the brain’s plasticity, how mindfulness can shape neural pathways, and its impact on emotional regulation and stress reduction. Understanding the science behind mindfulness will empower you to apply the techniques effectively, leading to reduced anxiety, improved sports performance, improved focus, emotional well-being, and overall mental clarity. This is an enlightening journey to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of mindfulness meditation.

During the certification, instructors will gain a basic understanding about the scientific principles of trauma and the body/brain connection, recognizing signs of trauma in their students, adapting teaching methods to accommodate diverse needs, and how to implement the methods as a certified trauma informed instructor.

The seminar will delve into the basics of how martial arts training can be a powerful tool in helping individuals who have experienced trauma to build resilience, regain control, and foster self-empowerment. Participants will explore practical strategies to create safe learning environments, employ trauma-sensitive communication and implement trauma-informed teaching approaches.
