Dear Students, Teachers and Friends,

The dojo's will be closed from December 24th through the 28th for
the Christmas Holiday. The dojo's will also be closed December 31st
and January 1st for regular classes.

We are having a New Years Eve sleepover for all the kids in the
dojo. There will be games, snacks and lots of fun. Students and
their friends are welcome to attend. See your Sensei for more
information.

Come and join Kyoshi Bryan and start the year off right with a New
Years day training class. Open to all students, the class will be
held at the Central dojo location and will run from 9:00-10:30.
Starting the year off with a good strong spirited workout is a
traditional concept handed down for generations in the martial arts
world. The central dojo is located at 2304 East Bijou, across the
street from the old Montgomery Wards building.

ANATOLE FRANCE:

Lesson of the Week

Seven Rules for Success in 2004

This week I want to continue our thinking about goal setting for the
next year. As you set your goals keep the following rules in your
mind.
1. Your life only gets better when you get better.
2. It does not matter where you are coming from, only where you
are going.
3. Anything worth doing well is worth doing poorly at first.
4. You are only as free as your options, those well developed
alternatives you have available to you â€" therefore become a
strategic planning expert.
5. Within every problem or difficulty you encounter, there is
the seed of an equal or greater advantage or benefit.
6. You can learn anything you need to learn to achieve any goal
you can set for yourself.
7. The only real limits on what you can do or be are the limits
you accept in your own mind.

Respectfully,
Terry Bryan
