Skyler Practices 100 Times Theory while learning to ride his bike

Tiger-Rock Martial Arts employs a life skill program throughout its martial arts curriculum, and for one student earlier this week utilized his life skill at home.

Skyler, age 6, was wanting to ride his bicycle without using training wheels. He kept trying and trying to ride the bike without the training wheels, and kept falling off. However, when he was asked if he wanted to put his training wheels back on by his papa, he said,

"Whatever I try, I try 100 times, Quitting is not an option Sir."

Later that day, Skyler was finally able to ride his bike without any training wheels.

The students at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of West Knoxville are gaining valuable physical and attitude skills that relate to everyday situations. And for Skyler he now understands the benefits of the 100X theory.
