Dear Parents & Potential Students,

First, I'd like to welcome you and your family to American Martial Arts. We are always very excited to see new faces showing interest in the martial arts, which teachings promote strength of character, focus, and the motivation to succeed.

The direction and goals I and the staff here at American Martial Arts are hoping to accomplish for our community, are, first and foremost the supplemental structuring and development of our students into, not only great students of the martial arts, but outstanding citizens and compassionate human beings as well.

The number of tools with which we are giving our students in order to obtain their goals include promoting a stronger sense of self-confidence, which in turn leads to physical, mental, and emotional fitness. Also, we are providing a structured environment where small goals, such as belt ranks, can help guide them towards larger goals, such as black belt.

By instituting the concept of "Black Belt Attitude" in school and at home through the "Intent to Promote" form we can instill in our students a sense of awareness of their surroundings and how they conduct themselves in those surroundings. We are striving to help our students to be able to handle any situation with focus, a determination to persevere, and an indomitable spirit.

In conjunction with all these based ideas it is my belief that we should not just try to make a better tomorrow for our children, but to make better human beings for tomorrow. Thank you and if you have any questions please feel free to call me anytime.

Sincerely,

Richard Higgins

Owner/Senior Chief Instructor
