TOURNAMENTS: When I was young, I used to LOVE to compete in martial art tournaments! My favorite thing to compete in was point sparring. This was back in the day when you weren’t required to wear head gear in a point sparring match (I miss those days). For your enjoyment, I have included a picture of me in one of my very first tournaments (I’m the white belt on the right – pay no mind to the shaggy, bowl cut). I have some of the best memories from competing in the Boulder Nationals Tournament in the mid-1980’s. Richard's [...]

The Pain of Discipline is Better than the Pain of Regret One of the most commonly asked questions I get from brand new students is, “Wow, you’re a 6th degree black belt . . . [I have been in martial arts for about 34 years and this year I celebrated the 30th anniversary of receiving my black belt on February 28th, 1987] . . . How did you do it?” Well, I am about to reveal this ancient secret about how to become a Master of martial arts. Are you ready? Here it is… I started and I never quit! [...]

How to Tie on my Belt

admin2018-03-14T10:42:20-06:00Categories: Springville|Tags: how to, martialarts|

New students and parents - this video is for you! How do you tie your student's belt on? This quick tutorial will show you how its done at Omega Martial Arts. We also tell you the meaning behind your belt. After you tie your belt, then ends should be even and balanced. One side represents the physical part of martial arts, the other side is spiritual and mental side of martial arts and you want those to be balanced in your life.

Your First Omega Test – What to Expect

admin2017-03-09T14:18:45-07:00Categories: Omega News, Springville|

If you have never tested in an Omega Formal Test, let me explain how the process works so you know what to expect! You will be tested on your knowledge, skill level and ability to perform the required techniques required for your desired belt rank advancement. Each tester will do the majority of their requirements at a designated testing table. We test also your ability to stay focused on the instructors in front of you. There will be 6 tables running. When all the tables are done, we will then come together and have the board breaking portion of the [...]
