Dear Parents, Guardians & Students (past, present & potential),
Let me take this moment to welcome you to my web site. This website is designed as a forum for all of my students, where they can come to see each others progress and unite them under one system of martial arts.
I come from and still belong to a family oriented institution where we are proud to have families training together; in fact, my dad & I started our Martial Arts training at One Step Beyond and for years took class together. This forged a special bond between us that is hard to duplicate by other means. We continue to operate the school together to this day. My 6 year old daughter also has been taking class since she was able to walk and now my 5 month old looks on hopefully she will continue in the family tradition.
The programs that I teach will take all my students on their very own “Quest to Be Their Best”. This credo will mean taking different paths for different people. I understand that each student is a special individual, with varying strengths and weaknesses. As instructors in the Martial Arts, my responsibility is to “Weed out the Weakness, Not the Weak”. The curriculum that I teach at my dojos(training centers) are designed so that with effort, everyone who has the will to succeed can succeed, not only in the outward physical aspects of Martial Arts (punching & kicking) but the internal mental benefits, self-confidence, self-discipline even stress relief.
I could go on for many more pages about the value of training in the Arts, but enough talking. Please enjoy your visit to my web site, and hopefully I will see you in class soon.
Sarah Hanley (sensei)
