Regrettable Situation

I don’t generally like to “brag” but a circumstance has come up that forces me to share the valuable work we do and the long track record and reputation of contribution that Success Martial Arts has exhaustively earned ... in order to protect it.

As many of you are likely aware; I have been sharing lessons of confidence, self control, respect, focus, self defense and high personal standards with thousands of Magic Valley families for 15 years. We have provided Anti Abduction and Sex Offender education to over 6000 children in a FREE program I intend to offer at no charge to anyone who asks for it... indefinitely. In fact this program directly prevented at least one confirmed enticement attempt. Our Bully Buster program has helped over 1500 children learn how to handle school conflict non violently. We’ve also reached thousands of students throughout the valley with the “Focus is Power” school talk program. Not to mention our annual“Action Heroes” community service project with Salvation Army. Hundreds of women and girls have participated in our FREE “In the Zone” self defense clinics and the Agent SOS program for real estate professionals. Of course the unique work we do with our students every day speaks for itself.

An unfortunate series of events and the isolated actions of one individual have created the potential for some ugly rumors and misunderstandings to be spread about our school. This is definitely a case where “Lies can get half way around the world before the truth can get its boots on” is a risk that ought to be prevented.

Here are the facts:

Success Martial Arts is now and has always been and will continue to be a safe place for families.

Nothing happened in or around our school or any of our students. Nor was there ever any potential or risk of any questionable activity in or around the school or students. The safety of our students is the highest priority. We take every precaution to ensure the safety in our environment. The choices an adult makes away from the school are beyond my control.

This individual was removed from our school and has not been back. That action was taken in 2009 prior to any knowledge of the accusations that this individual currently faces.

Please share this message and your positive Success Martial Arts experiences with those you come in contact with as an antidote to the potential lies, rumors, and misunderstandings that may arise in the coming weeks and months so that this opportunity to make the Magic Valley a better place to live and support our families in living happy, healthy, fruitful, confident lives isn’t wrongfully blemished.

I wish for you all that you wish for yourselves.
