The core value of DEDICATION cannot be held, accumulated, placed on a shelf, or hung on a wall. It is a moral code that can only be experienced because it is given and received from person to person or an individual to a cause.
At the Academy of Martial Arts you spend many years standing side by side with your fellow students, training, challenging, encouraging, and supporting each other, a bond is formed through this shared experience that develops into a relationship where those standing with you become your ‘extended’ family, like your martial arts brothers and sisters.
This sense of Dedication and Loyalty is not discovered as much as it is nurtured and strengthened over many years of training and trust. You become conscious that it is a two way street... not of convenience, not of thinking “what is in it for me”, not being right but of a strong desire to do the right thing, and to be there for them as you know they would be for you.
I have had the privilege of training and teaching the martial artists for over 4 decades, and during these times I have known what it is like to be granted a level of support that has given me the confidence to stand back up, dust myself off, and move forward when faced with challenges.
In a ‘day & age’ where relationships are ended at the first sign of struggle, where people give up at the first challenge, and many fold their hand if they are not dealt four aces it is encouraging to see people staying true to the way on the path of the martial arts.
