Excellence is more than doing well, or being good. It is a comprehensive and significant refinement of how we manage performance.
FITNESS IS AN ATTITUDE CLOSING
The fitness side of American Karate, Fitness Is An Attitude will be closing effective August 31st. There was not enough support for Aerobic Kick Boxing and general fitness boot camps. For those that have been training on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:15pm we will continue to get together at that time.

STATE GAMES OF AMERICA RESULTS
Saturday, August 1st
The State of Kansas supported the Games of America well on Saturday August 1st. Kansas was the third largest state sending athletes to this event with over 300 competitors in various sports. Several martial arts schools from Kansas attended with American Karate & Martial Science of Hutchinson sending the most with nine students and bringing back in the area of 15 Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. American Karate brought back fifteen awards. 5-Gold Medals, 4-Silver Medals and 6 Bronze Medals. Eight competitors now nationally ranked among 150 competitors that competed from across the United States. This is the first time in many years that our school and these students have competed nationally against martial artists from all over the United States coming from as far as Texas and California. I am proud of all of our students that were in attendance. I thank and appreciate our parents, grandparents and spouses who support our students and my martial arts program. REACH ONE***TEACH ONE!
