A new student presented the Dojo with a card congratulating the AMA Dojo's National Karate Team in Jefferson City Missouri.
within the card was the following:
Stacy Huffman Sensei,
“Although I lack significant training and have yet to develop any measurable skill in karate, I can't help but to be extremely impressed with the warmth, individual attention and care that is so generously shown to each and every student in your dojo.”
“With increasing opportunities for young people in our community to participate in activities that will help them mature into respectful, healthy and happy adults, the AMA Dojo stands out as an oasis for the kind of mental, emotional and physical development that will improve lives, families and communities for generations to come!”
“Respectfully Kathleen Mims”
After reading this card my Sempai and myself found ourselves graciously humbled and momentarily silent.
Our response is:
“ It is what we do.”
Karate-Do has touched many of our lives in mind, body and spirit in the very same way. We are only more than glad to share the rich traditions and heritage with those around us. As it was for my Sensei who was more than willing to share it with a very head strong youth who thought he had all the answers. (ME!)
Soke Stacy Huffman, Sensei
