CONGRATULATIONS on Becoming a Member
of our PCS Shaolin Family!
You’ve cared enough about the personal development of your child to enroll them in our PCS Martial Arts Classes, and that counts for something!
First, we’d like to take the time to say that we recognize the extra steps you’ve taken to provide for your child and their personal development. Martial arts practice yields so much value to a young mind, and we here at Black Mountain Spirit want to offer our kudos on this extra effort that you’ve put forth for the benefit of your child.
Now this is our opportunity to give back to you. If you feel that your child has benefited from the classes, seen positive changes in their behavior, or just plain had fun while practicing this ancient art with us and want these things to continue, below you’ll find some really interesting ways to make that happen!
LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
This is a link to our school’s official Facebook Page. COME SAY HEY! We want to hear from you. (And “Like” us, ’cause We like You-!)
This is our private group page
It acts as a billboard to make announcements to school members or to post relevant, interesting, and sometimes funny things associated with the practice of martial arts both at our school and elsewhere. It’s a great place to ask questions and get group-think answers to questions or feedback on thoughts. Everything from tournament planning/details to Instagram screw-ups ends up here, so it’s kind of like a student “mezzanine” 😉
Post in the group… “What’s your name” What type of martial experience (or none) do you have? What draws you to the practice here at Black Mountain Spirit? What’s going to be you first main short-term goal(s)?

You’ve Already come This far, why not
Officially Test for your Yellow Sash!
This is a 10 Day Challenge designed specifically to allow parents and their children to train together!
This video follow along series allows the two of you to go at your own pace, taking each day as you feel you’re ready for it.
The special value here has 2 parts: First, your child is in the driver’s seat – they’ve already ‘been here done this’ so they get to be the one’s in charge, for once they’re the one’s who have all the answers and this time they’re “telling you what to do”. Secondly (and I believe to be The best part of the whole thing) is that you get to be an active participant in helping your child achieve their goals, side by side, as equal partners! (And did I mention you getting in better shape?)
Each day of the challenge focuses on another aspect of the 1st sash requirements, so that if you’d like your child (or yourself) to get a head start before enrolling in the regular class curriculum you’ll be well-equipped to do so!
First: The 8 Horse Stance Basics will already be familiar to your children, but this might be your first time seeing them, so they’re reviewed here for you.
Second: The 8 Walking Basics are the first opportunity to see how the basic hand and foot techniques combine into combative attack & defensive strategies. These combinations teach a lot about focus, proper musculo-skeletal alignment, how to generate serious speed and power, etc.
Third: The 5 Kicking Basics are the very first kicks to be taught in the system and they cover ‘every angle’ of attack, as well as approaching your lower body flexibility from ‘every’ angle.
Next are a large variety of combinations designed to give you a basic sense of proper distancing, directional changing, and creating variety in the angles and heights of your attacks to avoid predictability. They also begin to place an emphasis on the most important element in any confrontation regardless of whether it’s physical, mental, or emotional: Control. Control of yourself, but more importantly a literal, physical, control over your opponent and what you allow them to be capable of during the confrontation.
At the end of it all, a final Graduation Day workout & evaluation to determine what you’ve learned, how you’ve transformed yourself, and where to go from there!
