Ma’am, I am honored to be writing this message. I tell Black Belts and school owners to never forget where they came from and who started them in their training. We start Martial Arts for many different reasons but we stay because of the people. I would not be here today, 34 years later if it wasn’t for your guidance, leadership, kindness and care. The journey of a career Martial Artist can be tiring and selfless. The common thread we have is wanting better for others. We are a Martial Art family first. Congratulations on this great honor of 9th Degree Black Belt!

Huge Congratulations Amanda Olson! I wanted to let you know that you have inspired my team to be better leaders and instructors both on and off the mat. I have had the great privilege to hear you speak, see you teach and witness you lead with passion. In fact, at an event a few years back, you were speaking with the parents at the black belt retreat. I sat down and took lots of notes. You demonstrated how parents ought to interact with and support their kids' journey, how to be great "team members" within a family unit and you had us all explore the question, "what kind of adults do we want our kids to become?" I have since added these lessons to my academy's instructor course and have made it a staple of what I teach to others. You did that! And I thank you for adding value to my team. I also recently had my first child, a son, this past March and these lessons will help guide me throughout my journey as a father. Thank you for being such a wonderful leader and congratulations on earning your 9th degree black belt!
