This Month in Class - What to Notice

This month, classes across all programs are focusing on Modesty.

In martial arts, modesty means having quiet confidence, being proud of effort and progress without needing to boast.

You may notice instructors reinforcing:

Acknowledging improvement without comparison
Celebrating effort more than outcome
Showing humility in both winning and learning
Encouraging students to support others rather than seek attention

These habits help students develop genuine confidence built on character, not ego.

Regular attendance allows instructors to reinforce these lessons consistently, as modesty is strengthened through repetition and modelling over time.

If you ever have questions about what we’re working on in class, our team is always happy to chat before or after training.

Building Quiet Confidence: A Stronger Approach to Bullying

As parents, one of our biggest concerns is how our children handle difficult social situations.

While bullying is a reality in many environments, our focus at Black Belt Plus isn’t on fear, it’s on preparation.

We believe prevention begins with character.

In class, students are consistently guided to develop:

Self-control under pressure
Respect for themselves and others
Calm, confident body language
The ability to respond, not react

Children who carry themselves with quiet confidence are less likely to be targeted, and less likely to misuse their strength.

Martial arts training reinforces structure, discipline and accountability. Students learn that their skills are used for protection, never aggression. They are reminded daily that leadership begins with self-control.

Through consistent routines and positive coaching, children develop emotional awareness, resilience and empathy, traits that extend far beyond the mats.

Our goal isn’t to create fighters.
It’s to help raise strong, respectful and confident young people.

If you’d ever like to learn more about how we approach character development in class, we’re always happy to chat before or after training.

Harry and Friends is a program for all our young students to help reinforce the life lessons we talk about every day. The program gives us a lot of highly effective tools to help instil positive character development in our youngest students including animations, visual aids and colouring sheets!

The main character “Harry” will serve as a positive role model to all our 3-6 years old in not only teaching them abstract concepts like self discipline and respect, but demonstrating real life behaviours like cleaning their room and saying “yes mum” and “no mum”. This example will help them really work on internalising those behaviours themselves.

“Harry and Friends” mat chat series for the Little Ninja program also has a game that can be downloaded from the Apple app store – click the image (top right) to install.

Stripe Testing

Stripe Testing Week – is the last week of each month and classes will follow a testing style format.

During stripe testing week Instructors test students on specific skills.
If students can perform the skill correctly and with intensity, they earn their stripe. Students must earn 3 different coloured skill stripes to be eligible to attend a Grading Test.

If a student is unsuccessful in obtaining their stripe in a particular month, there is an opportunity just before the grading test to retest for their stripes. So the secret to keeping up-to-date with the curriculum and passing the stripe testing is that you need to practice at home.

Grading

Gradings are special ceremonies where students are tested for their next belt rank. They are a little different from stripe testing.

At a Grading, Senior Instructors test students for their next belt rank.
They are assessing the skills learned for the previous 3 month term as well as students’ intensity, courage, resilience and black belt attitude.

Since you have just started your martial arts journey, your instructor will let you know in class whether you’ll be ready for this test or whether you should focus on the next grading in 3 months time. If you are unsure, your should see your Instructor for feedback.

Here are 10 tips for a successful belt examination:

1. Train with diligence 6. Be prepared on grading day

2. Know grading requirements 7. Stay focused, stay alert

3. Train with different partners 8. Give your best and stay humble

4. Train with martial arts spirit 9. Show your martial arts for your level

5. Ask you instructors what to work on 10. Don’t rush and don’t give up
