Celebrating One of Our Newest Black Belts - Rosana Parsons 🥋🌟
What an incredible journey Rosana Parsons has had! Earning a black belt in self-defense martial arts is a huge achievement that reflects not only her physical skills but also her mental strength. We’re so excited to celebrate Rosana reaching this major milestone! 🎉🥋
Starting out in self-defense martial arts is an exciting adventure. You learn the basics—how to defend yourself, how to strike effectively, and how to move with confidence. But beyond the physical skills, you also develop focus, discipline, and respect. Each class helps you grow stronger, both in body and mind.
As you advance in self-defense martial arts, the challenges get tougher. There are moments when you might feel stuck or face setbacks. But these moments are when you develop perseverance and resilience. Pushing through tough times is what helps you grow, not just in your abilities but in your character too.
Achieving a black belt in self-defense martial arts is a huge accomplishment! 🏅 It signifies years of dedication, commitment, and personal growth. At Brisbane Martial Arts, our black belts, like Rosana, embody the true spirit of martial arts—respect, humility, focus, and a never-give-up attitude.
A big shoutout to Rosana Parsons for earning her black belt in self-defense martial arts! 🎊 Her journey is truly inspiring.

I use discipline to work first and play later.
Values in Action!
Our students completed an activity where they wrote about a time they showed DISCIPLINE. Here are some amazing examples🌟💪
See how our students showed DISCIPLINE outside the dojo:
🎉Congratulations Anaya!
“I have shown Discipline in Martial Arts by using discipline to control my thoughts and think positive.” – Rachel (age 14)
How are you going to live self-discipline outside the dojo? Previously students have said:
– I have shown discipline at home by getting the washing done in the morning on the weekend before taking time out to relax. – Teale
– I have shown discipline at home by waiting without interrupting – Jaya (age 6)
– I have shown discipline at home by helping around the house – Hemaani (age 11)
We challenge you to show DISCIPLINE in your daily life. Share your stories with us, and you could be featured in the next newsletter!
How Progress Checks Work!
To achieve your next belt there are a series of small goals to work towards, and your achievements will be recognised by earning “Tips”.
MARTIAL ARTS STUDENTS –
1x Skill Tip per month plus Fitness and 3 Life Skill Tips
5 x Skills Tips (Strikes, Kicks, Self Defence, Traditional, Fitness) are earned in class by practising and perfecting the skills outlined in the Grading Curriculum.
The Grading Curriculum can be found in your Spark Member App, and paper copies are available from reception.
Each month, Martial Arts students focus on one set of skills and work towards that Tip in every class. Use the On Demand Video Library in your Members app for extra helping while practising at home.
The last week of each month is PROGRESS WEEK. During every class that week, students will show what they learned throughout the month and if successful, will earn their Tip. If not, the Instructors will provide specific feedback on where they need to improve. Students are welcome to attend an extra class during Progress Week if they would like to be retested.
Don’t worry if you don’t achieve the tip straight away, keep practising and testing will come around again.
On Monday of Grading Week, we also hold a Special Tip Testing class. This class is just for Martial Arts students who have missed out on the last tip they need for grading, and have practised enough to be ready for testing. Just book in via your Members App, like a make up class and earn that last tip in time to register for grading.
The Fitness Tip is tested during the week after grading every month. Keep up your fitness training every day, and this one will be a breeze.
LITTLE NINJAS – 1 X Tip per week (8 tips in total)
Balance, Focus, Coordination, Memory, Fitness, Confidence, and Discipline are earned in class by practising and perfecting the skills outlined in the Grading Curriculum.
The Grading Curriculum can be found in your Spark Member App, and paper copies are available from reception.
Each week, Little Ninja students focus on one set of skills and work towards that Tip in every class. Use the On Demand Video Library in your Members app for extra helping while practising at home.
Don’t worry if you don’t achieve the tip straight away, keep practising and testing will come around again.
