At Side Kicks Karate there is one phrase that we use more than any other and that is YES I CAN. These are not just three words, this is in everything that we do and it is in the forefront in how we teach our students. We use this phrase as a tool to show our students how they can accomplish anything in our life! Overcoming obstacles and life challenges would be impossible without this attitude….
Please continue reading on how we use this phrase to help our students to be their best in life!
There are 4 simple parts to help build the YES I CAN ATTITUDE and I want to share them with you now.

- Have GREAT Eye Contact
Eye contact is the most crucial element to Yes I Can. It validates that you are focused and that you feel good about yourself and shows the world around you how much you love yourself!
- Standing Tall
This is how we demonstrate self confidence and we are ready to do our best! Standing tall helps you to share that you are a leader.
- Having a Clear Voice
Speaking with a strong confident voice shows that they believe in themselves and it demonstrates control in your behavior.
- A BIG Smile
The last Element to Yes I Can is having a BIG smile from ear to ear gives people around you the security and trust that you are a good person and you want to be a positive person in the world.
When life is great having the Yes I Can Attitude is easy , But when you are hit with challenges and things aren’t as smooth this is where having a positive mindset and knowing that if you do your best, you can get through anything! We help kids see obstacles as a positive thing, as a chance to grow and to learn. This is the Yes I Can Winning Attitude.
