At Revolution Modern Martial Arts in Clayton, we’re committed to helping kids grow into confident, respectful leaders—not just through karate classes, but in their everyday lives. That’s why we’re launching our next round of At-Home Challenges, focused on the life skill of Respect, which we define as:
“To Be Mindful and Never Abuse.”
What Are the At-Home Challenges?
These challenges are an extension of what we teach in our kids martial arts classes and are designed to be completed at home with help from a parent or guardian. Once a challenge is completed, parents must submit a photo and a brief message to prove the challenge was completed.
✔️ Facebook User? Post your photo and description in the [Revolution Modern Martial Arts Family Group].
❌ No Facebook? Just speak with one of our instructors at the Clayton dojo to find out how to participate another way.
👉 All four challenges must be submitted by June 21, 2025. Students who complete all four will earn a Respect Patch for their uniform—a proud symbol of their hard work and growth outside the dojo.
🎯 Challenge Breakdown
1️⃣ Courtesy – Camo Stripe
This stripe will be awarded in class to students who consistently demonstrate a Black Belt Attitude—that means showing respect, focus, and a positive mindset during training sessions.
2️⃣ Engagement – Pink Stripe

🏅 Karate in Clayton is About More Than Kicks and Punches
At Revolution Modern Martial Arts, we believe karate is more than just physical training—it’s a way to build character, discipline, and leadership. These at-home challenges are a perfect way to bring those lessons to life outside of the dojo.
If you have any questions or need help submitting a challenge, just ask an instructor—we’re here to help!
Let’s keep working together to build strong minds, strong bodies, and strong spirits—both on and off the mat.
