As Good as I Once Was
Today’s message is a TBT to a blog which was about a TBT to a younger time…
I know you all can relate.
Here’s the blog, I Ain’t As good As I Once Was.
Is ain’t a word?: Usage Guide
Although widely disapproved as nonstandard, and more common in the habitual speech of the less educated, ain’t is flourishing in American English. It is used in both speech and writing to catch attention and to gain emphasis.
Just thought that would be a fun aside.
When I was a kid we were taught, “ain’t ain’t a word”, but apparently the word had persevered the sentiment. 😉
Speaking of back to school!
The leadership lessons at Krav Maga Martial Arts will teach and/or reinforce the Blackbelt Superpowers and other skills students will most need for A+ Success this Back To School Season!
- Focus
- Respect
- Discipline
- Confidence
- Goal Setting Skills
- Bully Proof
- Habit Setting for Goal Getting
- Communication & Leadership Skills
- Resilience
- and more
I’m looking forward to teaching it, and I hope you are looking forward to receiving it.
As a KMMA parent, one of the best things you can do to help your kids internalize the lessons is to discuss them at home!
Again speaking of back to school, it’s the best time to get started if you’re child isn’t (or ain’t) growing with us yet!
Call 813-948-4844 and we’ll get you in for an introduction!
