Martial Arts Saves Lives!

On Saturday, 11/11/17, the The Academy of Martial Arts & Personal Development teamed up with the American Red Cross to host a Blood Drive.

The drive was an overwhelming success, and we exceeded their collection goal which was 25 units. These units of blood will help save up to 84 lives and ensure a readily available supply of blood for hospital patients in our community and across the country. The Red Cross and the Academy would like to thank all of the donors, who are true heroes.

An increasingly popular reason for enrolling children in the martial arts is to develop "Life Skills" in the students. The skills include discipline, self control, patience, confidence, courage, tolerance, honesty, respect and integrity among others. Training in a quality martial arts school reinforces those character building qualities that are timeless and transcend all cultural boundaries.

Grandmaster Waldron, believes that "the martial arts are an invaluable tool in developing children into confident, capable members of society. Adults benefit from a positive, safe and challenging environment as well as the chance to constantly grow, mentally and physically.” For more information, about The Academy of Martial Arts & Personal Development, contact them by calling 860-646-7993, emailing at masterwaldron@gmail.com, visiting their website at www.TheAcademy.us or visiting the school at 440 Oakland Street, Manchester.
