Bully Busting
Master Hendrix has designed a BULLY program for elementary school classes that does not involve contact but rather a discussion in how to identify and deal with the bully "situation". If you think your child's class could benefit from this program, please have the teacher contact Master Hendrix. The program is FREE.

Reflections from Master H:
The past month has been fantastic. We saw some incredible martial artists be promoted during the first week of October at EMA in: Taekwon-Do, HapKiDo and Jeet Kune Do with Filipino Martial Arts. Additionally our Tai Chi and Catch Wrestling Classes continue to see students reaching a variety of milestones.
On a personal level, my monthly column in Taekwon-Do Times Magazine continues to get great reviews and feedback. The magazine is sold world wide and carried local at Barnes and Noble. Check it out if you get a chance. I'm so thankful for all the wonderful comments I get about the column from students, friends and people I've never even met ! Thank you!
I also just had the privilege of competing in a half marathon run on a Saturday and then the next day competing in a sprint triathlon. It was fun do complete both races in two days but it was also very taxing. Regardless it was nice to challenge myself and the indomitable spirit that my martial arts training has built was extremely useful.

OUR MASCOT: "Athena" |
As a fun side note we would like to give a little pat on the head to EMA's mascot "ATHENA the Great Dane" for passing her good citizenship training. She spent nearly three weeks with Charlie Holder from Charlie's K-9's in Clemmons, NC. She can now: Come when called, Heel, Sit, Lie Down and Stay. She can also nearly do all of these commands off leash! Big thanks to Mr. Holder. |
