AMAS Students,

AMAS Chief Instructor
I had to make a decision this week that I have never had to make before.
Due to overwhelming demand, I had to make the decision to temporarily close enrollment at our studio and create a waiting list as we had so many students sign up in the last couple of weeks. On one hand, I’m delighted that so many adults have found Arrowhead Martial Arts Studio to be the best martial arts studio choice for them in salt Lake City Utah. On the other, I wish I could have thousands of students.
However, as I’ve said before, I’m not about having the most students. I’m about having the best students and you can’t do that with so many students in class. While we have eight instructors and assistant instructors, I don’t want to lose focus and will not compromise on this. So, to keep my promise, I have temporarily closed enrollment to focus my attention on my current students and help make them the best martial artists they can be.
For updates on class openings, please send me an email to get your name added to the waiting list. The only way this will open up is if people move or get promoted into the next class.
So, thanks for your interest in our martial arts program and I’ll let you know when we start accepting students again.
I just wanted to post a quick congratulatory message to both Cory and Jessica on their promotion to Yellow belt on Tuesday. So without any further ado, congratulations! Keep doing what you’re doing as you’re both catching on fast.
Remember to always have the passion for the art and strive for the mental, physical and spiritual benefits without chasing the rank. If you do that, the rank / belts will ALWAYS follow.
See you in class.
I have just uploaded the photos from the March 2007 AKKI Kenpo Camp that Jess took. You can leave comments, order prints, whatever. I hope you enjoy them!
Please join me in congratulating the following people on their recent belt promotions:
Yellow Belt
Purple Belt
Blue Belt
We will be closed on Thursday March 22, 20007 due to the Paul Mills Las Vegas Kenpo Camp being held in Las Vegas, Nevada. All of our instructors and many of students will be attending this once in a lifetime event.
