What an incredible week we've had! A massive thank you to all of our Champions who joined us for Summer Camp. The laughter, smiles and enthusiasm made it one of our best camps yet. From bouncing on the bouncy castle and exploring the park and forest, to football, tennis, dodgeball, Nerf Wars and finishing with our legendary water battle (using over 1,000 water bombs! 💦), every day was packed with fun. But as always, the games were just the vehicle... The real goal was building Champions Character. Every activity gave the children the opportunity to develop our three core principles: 🎯 Focus – paying attention and giving their best. 🥋 Skill – learning, improving and trying new things. 💙 Belief – growing in confidence and encouraging others. We couldn't be prouder of every child. Their manners, teamwork, kindness and willingness to have a go were outstanding. Thank you also to all of our parents for trusting us with your children and for your continued support. Enjoy the rest of the summer holidays, and we can't wait to welcome everyone back in September as we begin Term 1 of our brand-new Champions Path programme. The journey continues... FOCUS • SKILL • BELIEF Master T

Sometimes you receive a message that reminds you exactly why you do what you do. After more than 40 years of teaching, and developing the Champions Character programme over decades, reviews like this still mean the world to me. We use martial arts because children love it, but our real mission has always been to help young people become confident, kind, focused and resilient. Knowing that those qualities are being recognised not just in our dojo, but by teachers in the classroom, is incredibly rewarding. A huge thank you to Alexander's family for taking the time to send this. ------- *"I just wanted to share a summary of Alexander’s school report and let you know that I believe martial arts has influenced this outcome: His report highlights how much his confidence has grown, his positive attitude to learning, excellent progress in reading and writing, and the kind, inclusive way he treats everyone around him. His teachers described him as a wonderful role model and said they’ll really miss him next year. Thank you all for the amazing support you have given him to become the amazing little boy he is."* ------- To everyone who trusts us with your children... thank you. It is a privilege to play a part in their journey of life. Seeing children develop not only stronger kicks and punches, but stronger character, is exactly why Champions Character exists. — Master T – The Karate Kid Teacher One More Thing... Character Comes First. Your child becomes like the people they spend time with. Choose the tribe that builds them up.

One of the nine core lessons we teach in Champions Character is called The Daily Four. The Daily Four is a simple reminder that every champion should look after four important areas of life, every single day: 💪 BODY – Keep yourself physically strong and healthy. 🧠 MIND – Never stop learning and growing. ❤️ HEART – Build great relationships and care for others. ✨ SOUL – Take time to reflect, be grateful and understand your purpose. Today's staff training wasn't just about becoming better martial artists. It was about living the very lessons we teach our students. People often think we're simply a martial arts school. We certainly love martial arts—it has been my passion for over 45 years, and I truly believe it is one of the greatest activities a child can do. But martial arts is also the vehicle we use to teach something even bigger. Every lesson is built around our Champions Character framework: ⭐ FOCUS – Great listeners become great learners. ⭐ SKILL – Confidence grows by learning valuable skills through consistent practice. ⭐ BELIEF – Success and repetition help children believe in themselves. Our instructors train every week because we believe leadership starts with example. If we're asking our students to develop themselves, we should be doing exactly the same. Champions don't just train when they feel like it. Champions train because that's who they are. If you're looking for a programme that develops confidence, resilience, discipline and character through world-class martial arts, we'd love to welcome your family to Champions Character. 📍 Kicx Studio, Churchdown, Gloucester 🌐 https://www.kicx.co.uk
