 Belt Testing is always an exciting time around America's Best Martial Arts! Achieving a new rank always helps to reinvigorate us as martial artists. It allows us to refocus and set new goals. With each new step along the pathway to Black Belt, we learn things about ourselves that we could not learn through any other endeavor. We forge our character, refine our concentration, and develop our spirit within the pursuit of martial excellence! With each successive step, the karateka (karate practitioner) is more and more aware of how the martial arts are a life style, and not a mere physical or mental activity...

 Help your child reach their fullest potential in the martial arts... And life!

This seminar is mandatory for all parents of Beginner Level students who have not already attended.

 When you love something, you just want to shout it from the rooftops!  Here is a great chance to share all the wonderful benefits of the martial arts and kickboxing with friends and family.  All week long you can bring a friend to class with you (all participants must have a completely filled out Guest Information form - you can get one from Mr. Baier), and you and your friend will get to spin the prize wheel for fabulous gifts!

 I hope you are as excited and enthusiastic as I am about another school year kicking off! Each new school year gives us a chance to start fresh, with a new set of goals and strategies to make this the most successful year ever! And we want to help!

America's Best Martial Arts will be hosting a "Back-To-School Open House" on Saturday, September 27th, from 9:00am until 1:00pm!
