WARRIOR'S PLAN OF SALVATION

I have a weakness...I have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
It is my goal and hearts desire to correct this weakness.

I am sorry for this (sin) weakness.  Jesus said He would forgive me, if I repent (turn from sin) and ask him to forgive me.  John 3:16

I will take action now.  I will ask Jesus Christ, God's Son, to forgive my (sin) weakness. Romans 10:13

I believe as God's Son, Jesus alone has the authority to forgive my sins and correct my weakness. Romans 10: 9-10

I now pray this prayer and trust God to erase this spiritual weakness.  Acts 16:13

Jesus alone can bring the physical, mental and spiritual balance and perfection to my life.  He is God!

Our Prayer....Jesus, I have sinned and come short of your glory.  You said You would forgive me and come into my heart if I ask and believe You to work this miracle in my life.  So I ask You to forgive all my sins and come into my heart right now.  You said You would do this so I am trusting you for salvation now!

STUDENT CREED

1. I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.

2. I will develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

3. I will use what I learn in class constructively and defensively: to help myself and my fellow man and never to be abusive or offensive.

  In reference to combative techniques, if one become angry (hard) his balance is destroyed, but if one remains calm (soft) balance is maintained.
   
• A Person's Unbalance Is The Same As Weight
  Anytime one is unbalanced, that serves as an additional obstacle which must be overcome.
• The Body Should Be Able To Change Direction At Any Time
  The body should merely respond to events instead of allowing the mind to anticipate or attempt to "out guess" events.
   
• The Time To Strike Is When The Opportunity Presents Itself
  Always examine your opponent and attempt to locate his weakness.  After finding his weakness, attack that point.
   
• The Eyes Must See All Sides
• The Ear Must Listen In All Directions
