Holiday Season at PMA
The PMA enters the holiday season with great optimism for the New Year. Grandmaster Devine and all the black belts wish you and your families a healthy and prosperous year ahead. The support given to us by you, both students and parents, has been wonderful and allowed us to make growth not just in numbers, but in a progressive and positive attitude throughout the dojo. As we are entering into our 32nd year of PMA history and evolution, I am encouraged by many factors such as the incredible growth of our teenaged program (bushis) and we are poised with achievers both in karate and school academics. This young group is our future and we are looking forward to literally dozens making brown and black belt in the next few years. This growth in standards and performance is happening in all the levels.
We have a busy schedule starting in January with belt promotions, winter camps, winter tournaments, tournament team trips, weapons seminars and more. We have upgraded our store items and are reintroducing a return to the popular dojo bucks where students can earn new gis, weapons and more.
I want to personally thank you all for the year round support and cooperation, especially senior black and brown belts who have jumped into the teaching roles and have made the classes so successful. Happy Holidays, all the best for the New Year!
Master Jerry Devine, chief instructor PMA.
