Quote of The Week
"You can do anything you put your mind to if you put the effort in and the work and the hours, you get results. If you keep on trying, never give up cause you can do anything you put your mind to."
Happy 2022 from CMA! We are confident that this year will bring great health and happiness to all.
As you can see with the Push-Up Challenge, Master Pattison is off and running with various ways to keep everyone on track. He has committed to developing and leading a separate challenge each and every month of this great new year. Make sure you play along at home, at work, or where ever you may be.
With a sprinkle of inspiration from Nandi Bushell's story, some motivation and support from Master Pattison and the CMA Instructors, and everything already within you, we got this!
Article Highlights
There is so much great information out there on the internet regarding Tang Soo Do. We thought it would be a good idea to find an article and highlight it here for all the CMA students to learn from. We hope you find this helpful in your training and understanding.

~ Student Creed ~
I intend to use Tang Soo Do
to develop myself in a positive manner and
I will avoid anything that would limit or reduce my mental growth or my physical health.
I intend to develop self-discipline
in order to bring out the best
in myself and others.
I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively
to help myself and my fellow man and
I will never be abusive or offensive.
Push-up Challenge!
Push ups in a tree, yeah that's Master Pattison! In looking through some old photos, he decided it's time for another challenge! Join in, get the whole family moving.
"Today is the 1st, this year will be ten times better than last, so 10 times 1 is 10. Do ten push ups.
Each day do 10 times the day of the month. Today 10, tomorrow 20, then 30.
They don't have to be all at once, spread them throughout the day, just do them...
Who's in? Let me know."
Check in on Facebook or Instagram to see what's going on and who's in. You don't have to post anything, it's all about moving and personal accomplishment.
Today is actually the second, so, "Drop and give us 20!"
-Tang Soo!
