New Jersey Army National Guard drill instructor 1st Lt. Stephanie M. Shillaber evaluates members of Albanian Officer Candidate Class 001 before going on a rescue training mission at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., June 26, 2014. During a three-day field leadership exercise, members of Albanian Officer Candidate Class 001 were evaluated by the platoon training officers on their leadership potential. During the exercise, the candidates performed various situational training exercises including assault, recon and ambush. Situational training exercises are short, scenario-driven, mission-oriented exercises designed to train one collective task, or a group of related tasks or battle drills, through practice. Albania is the first State Partnership Program country to send its officer candidates to the United States to attend an Officer Candidate School (OCS) program. The 12-week NJARNG OCS program is modelled after the active-duty program at Fort Benning, Ga., and includes classroom instruction, physical and leadership training.

Das Foto entstand bei einer Dokumentation eines Sportevents. Es ist also nicht gestellt. Es war zwar gedacht, die Instruktorin einzurahmen, aber dass es so genau gepaßt hat, war natürlich auch etwas Glück. -- Es war der erste echte Einsatz der Sony A9 (mit dem 24-70/2.8 GM). Ich habe ausschließlich mit dem elektronischen Shutter fotografiert und gegen meine Natur auch mal mit Bursts gearbeitet. Der (kontinuierliche) Autofokus hat sehr gute Dienste geleistet - ich kann also die guten Kommentare im Netz durchaus bestätigen.

Testimonial and Martial Arts Reviews Virginia Beach and Chesapeake: American Taekwondo Association (ATA)
I have been studying Karate and Songham Taekwondo at Changing Lives Martial Arts with Master Thomas at Changing Lives Martial Arts in Virginia Beach since I was eight years old. I am age sixteen now and I have can remember entering into my first competitive tournament. I was scared at first about going and competing against people that I didn't know. But at Changing Lives Martial Arts my Instructors and fellow students always support and encourage me.
My Martial Arts Instructors always tell me that "to compete is to win" and not to measure myself against others. But my Instructor also encouraged me to train harder than I ever had before in order to get ready for the competition. I went to class five times a week for a month prior to the National ATA tournament for the State Taekwondo Championship title. I worked on all my techniques, fitness and on sparring against my Instructors and classmates.
When the day of the Taekwondo tournament finally came I was scared and had a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach. But after checking in and sitting down to watch some of my classmates compete I felt better. Because most of them were winning!
When it was almost my turn to compete in sparring I went and suited up in my ATA sparring gear. Master Thomas told me to relax and stay focused out there and not to panic, the training would overcome those nerves he said.
In the sparring ring I remember my heart beating fast but I kept my cool and my training did pay off. I seemed to automatically know what to do and was dodging and blocking the kicks and punches that were coming my way. Natural reaction, I wasn’t having to think about it. I was also finding openings and landing clean kicks, punches and other hand strikes I learned. When the timer sounded I was declared the winner and the judge held my hand high. I couldn't believe it.
Training in taekwondo and martial arts has been one of the best things I have ever done. My parents appreciate the values and respect we learn while training at Changing Lives Martial Arts. I like the friends I have made, the techniques I have learned and the “never say quit” attitude martial arts has helped me to develop. I would recommend learning martial arts at Changing Lives Martial Arts to anyone and if you are serious about your training I would also recommend entering into a tournament. It might seem scary at first, but you will feel great afterward.
The best part of competing for the State Taekwondo Championship title was the experience of being with my Instructor and fellow students and supporting and cheering each other on. Master Thomas told us that competing with a good attitude is more important than winning at any cost. Nothing could be truer. But from my own experience I can say that winning isn't bad either.
I am already excited about training for next year's title as State Champion in Taekwondo and now that I’m a Black Belt, competing for the title of World Champion Taekwondo is even more exciting. I love Changing Lives Martial Arts as it is my home away from home.
Thank you Changing Lives Martial Arts, Master Thomas, Mr. Gunsel and Mrs. Morin.
Student for life,
Susan B
AM I PAYING TO BE PROMOTED?
No. You are paying for the seminars, and while I strongly encourage everyone to be present for the seminars, it is not required. You may show up for the second half only. But, again, I strongly encourage everyone to be present for the seminars. It helps us with organization, expresses to the instructors that you are interested in learning, and fosters a team oriented environment.
WHAT ARE THE STANDARDS FOR BEING PROMOTED?
Under the Capital flag you must demonstrate the 3 Ts: time on the mat, toughness and technique. Visualize a triangle, where technique is on top. On the bottom are time and toughness. Those who are very tough might have the time requirement reduced (but not below the minimum). Those with a great deal of time might have the toughness requirement reduced. Also, other variables may be taken into consideration. For example, one of our newest members is beginning his Jiu-Jitsu journey at 70 years young! Modifications will be made to ensure his journey is both challenge and rewarding!
WHAT ARE THE TIME REQUIREMENTS?
A blue belt takes an average of 1.5 years. A purple belt takes an average of 5 years. A brown belt takes an average of 7 years. A black belt takes an average of 10+ years. Most of the practitioners who tested for black belt had between 12 and 17 years of experience, and the pass rate was about 50%.
WHO MAKES THE DECISION FOR ADVANCEMENT?
Three instructors, including at least one black belt, must approve any promotion.
WHY DOES THE FORMAT KEEP CHANGING?
It’s been consistent for the last two years. However, we do expect that slight changes will be made as time goes on. We always seek feedback from students, peers and our instructors to make things better. The current format is: seminars (optional), sparring, promotions, gauntlet (optional), and group picture.
ETIQUETTE
At promotions events every practitioner should wear a laundered Capital branded white training kimono. This is the equivalent of wearing formal attire for a special occasion, like a wedding. Also, it is extremely impolite to ask an instructor about being promoted.
WHAT DOES THE NAVY BLUE BAR MEAN?
Royce Gracie and the Valente Brothers wanted to honor Helio Gracie’s life and legacy by wearing the navy blue belt that Helio wore. Going forward they are asking representatives to wear the navy bar (excluding white belts and new black belts). For more information about Grandmaster Helio Gracie’s decision to wear the navy belt visit: graciekentucky.blogspot.com/2010/06/why-did-grandmaster-h...
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR PUTTING A NAVY BAR ON MY BELT?
The easiest thing to do is purchase athletic tape: www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&...
I BELIEVE YOU MADE AN ERROR REGARDING MEMBER X, BY PROMOTING/NOT PROMOTING HIM….
Think about a Jiu-Jitsu competition. Is it possible, from time to time, for the referee to make an error? Of course! It is also possible for the decision makers at our semiannual gatherings to make errors. However, as practitioners progress, more scrutiny is applied to their rank, and ultimately 40 - 60 black belts will test them. At that time practitioners must demonstrate the complete stand-up self-defense curriculum, striking, clinching, grappling and philosophy (the 753 Code).
I caution those who dwell on the rank progress of others, especially as it compares to their own. Instead I encourage you to apply your vigilance to your own journey in the gentile art.
DO I NEED TO BE AT THE PROMOTIONS EVENT?
To be promoted to the next color belt, yes. Technically, to be promoted with stripes on the purple and brown belt, also yes. However, we needed to honor time constraints at Saturday's event, and stripes for deserving practitioners will be awarded this week and in January.
IS THE GAUNTLET HAZING?
What is the difference between a healthy ritual and hazing? What in fact is hazing? According to Wikipedia: "Hazing is the practice of rituals and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group.” Does the gauntlet qualify?
Couldn’t we define the gauntlet as a rite of passage? Google defines a rite of passage as, "a ceremony or event marking an important stage in someone's life, especially birth, puberty, marriage, and death.” While I don’t know of any peer reviewed research articles, the overwhelming consensus is that there are tremendous psychological benefits to being included in a rite of passage.
There’s also acknowledging that our ritual is far less dangerous than the activities which led to it. Whether it’s the rigorous exercise, intense sparring rounds, competitions or the black belt test. In fact, Professor Pedro Valente noted that we are training to be effective in a proven fighting system. To take a hit is not only to be initiated, it's an essential component of our training.
I am not familiar with many of the reasons why people haze, and personally, I have never been involved in a hazing ritual. The gauntlet is our rite of passage; a tradition handed down to us by our elders. I am opposed to taking away or intensifying the gauntlet tradition. Our tradition is about the student, and I don’t believe that practitioners at Capital MMA experience some perverse pleasure in seeing people suffer. Rather, we are celebrating with the newly inducted.
I believe that the gauntlet tradition should only be carried on in the presence of the black belt instructors, exclusively at our semiannual promotions events. Also, it is our charge as black belts to educate junior members of our tradition, and how we conduct ourselves during the rite of passage. Injury, abuse and humiliation are never our objectives.
Finally, this tradition is, and always will be, optional. However, our requirements for being promoted are not. The rigor, intensity, and sacrifice experienced by senior practitioners is significant.
