Volunteer opportunity

Volunteer Opportunity description

With proper instruction in the martial arts, the rural youths of both genders who are involved in this program will eventually be able to:

a) Control the stress and tension in life,

b) Take off excess weight

c) Enjoy themselves while learning an effective self-defense.

Along with looking and feeling better the youths will gain self-confidence in their undertakings in life.

The youths will be able to build and maintain muscle tone in an effort to keep the body perfectly conditioned.

The martial art training will insist on mental alertness of youths undergoing the training. This will keep their sound minds in a sound body.

Therefore the immediate AIM of this Martial Art program is the welfare of the youths undergoing it. Not only will self-defense skills be attained, but more importantly it will be the focus on the individual's character development.

A well-rounded personality can be realized only if the spirit is right. Courtesy, respect, modesty, loyalty, generosity and dedication are not only the source, but they are the rewards of martial arts training.

The rural youths of both genders involved in this program will in the end develop a good self-discipline apart from an improvement of their physical ability.

MARTIAL ART TRAINER

We therefore wish to enlist a service of a volunteer who is skilled on Martial Arts who will impart the following three major elements on the rural youths who are involved in the program in Konoin;

A) MENTAL CONCENTRATION

The ability to relax and concentrate deeply and more fully for greater lengths of time.

B. PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

Both at work or at school, and with family and friends.

Along with the mental concentration and respect for others comes an awareness of others and their needs. Respect, courtesy, kindness and sensitivity towards others will affect personal relationships.

C. POSITIVE ATTITUDE

The ability to defend oneself greatly improves self-confidence. Self-confidence combines with better judgment, integrity and overall improvement in lifestyle brings about a positive attitude.
