~ Live your life by design ~
It’s fitting that while I wrote this I was in Disney World staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The first time I visited Disney World after the Grand Floridian was built I remember thinking to myself that I was going to stay there someday. When I first started teaching Martial Arts professionally I would tell my master instructor that I was going to open my own school someday, 9 years before it happened. Whenever my mother would ask me what I wanted for my birthday or Christmas I would tell her a BMW. I had my first one in 2005. With the opening of the new dojo I have seen yet another HUGE goal accomplished.
In the 1993 I started working for the person that would serve as my mentor for nearly 20 years. Personal self development and developing a plan to live my life by, personally and professionally, was one of the most important things I learned from that relationship. I have seen for the past 23 years, it is totally possible to live your life by design.
Over the next several weeks I will be writing about the systems that I use to continue to live my life by design. One of the most important tools for this is belief. What we focus on most becomes our reality. Focus on what you don’t want and it will happen. Focus on what you do want, and that will happen too.

I have always been interested in the martial arts, but never had the opportunity to pursue any formal training. Shortly after my son began taking classes I decided to join in the fun! This was almost three years ago and training has me in the best shape of my life. It has been very beneficial for my overall well being and a great activity to spend time with my son. Sensei Groesbeck and staff are top notch instructors and provide a positive and fun environment in which to learn and train.
My daughter Jaelyn has been training in martial arts close to five years. She is in great shape, more disciplined and respectful due to the Manlius dojo and staff. Great job on the new website.
My 12 year old daughter and 11 year old son are 1st degree black belts training for their 2nd Degrees. I am 43 years old, in the best shape of my life and ready to test for my 1st degree Black Belt. Impact Martial Arts has changed the life of my children and I for the better in a dramatic way! Modesty, Courtesy, Integrity, Self Control, Perseverance and Indomitable Spirit! These are the creeds instilled in the students who study at the Team Manlius dojo of Impact Martial Arts. The entire teaching staff at the Team Manlius dojo: Sensei Groesbeck, Sensei Button, Deshi Mehmedovic and Mr. McDonald are all AWESOME!! They are all very engaging, professional and inspiring. Not only do they teach marital arts and physical fitness but the curriculum also contains character education and anti-bullying strategies. The environment at the dojo is always positive, fun and inspiriting. Believe me it is a place you will want to be and your kids to be!!!
