Using "sir" and "ma'am"
Let me explain how our martial arts students lean to demonstrate respect for themselves and others.
First is eye contact. Always look the person that you are speaking with directly in the eye. This shows what you and the other person have to say is important.
Second, demonstrate respect by using sir and ma'am at home and at school. Whenever an academy staff member or black belt talk with you, answer with "Yes or No Sir", "Yes or No Ma'am".
Third is honoring the rules. When students are home and their parent tells them to do something, they must do it the first time they are asked, without hesitation...that means right away! Parents, this is how you can help. At home, make sure your child always demonstrates a black belt leadership attitude.
