In 2001 I instituted “black belt choice” weeks into our dojo curriculum– this helped develop autonomy and creativity amongst my senior ranks and helped them grow into their own as teachers. It was an experiment and I liked how it worked and wrote the following:

Nam M.

I came from a program where they really didn’t seem to want me. When I walked into Windsong, I was greeted, my questions were answered, and I was welcomed to participate. So, at Windsong: I was welcomed. I was included. I was accepted. I was instructed with patience. My progress was celebrated. I felt a balance of encouragement and challenge. No matter what age I reach, I will still be working on applications from what I learned at Windsong.
