In the martial arts world, being "the best" has many dimensions. Stated simply the most important dimension is for all those who take part, athletes as well as their families, to strive to do their level best to understand and to follow the traditions, the basic values, the common decency which are part of all martial art study. It comes down to all those associated with the martial arts world having respect for one another, respect among pupils, instructors, masters, respect up and down. It means having deep respect for the many traditions, respect for all who participate no matter what level they have achieved or may achieve. The key is in individual striving. There's so much more to the martial arts than kicking, punching, blocking, etc. It is a way for all involved to get to know themselves better, to appreciate their own individual strengths and weaknesses as well as those of others. Trophies don't make you "the best," but working hard, constantly striving to improve, and truly loving the world of martial arts are really what count. Those are the values we try to teach.
Our Martial Art is a style designed to promote health, discipline and a greater sense of respect for oneself and others. The correct attitude for a student at our Academy is reflected in the following principles of the Danielson Martial Arts Academy:
1.) Be loyal to your country
2.) Be obedient to your parents.
3.) Hold your teachers in the highest regard.
4.) Focus and discipline in and out of class.
5.) Realize Self-Confidence. YOU ARE A WINNER
6.) Treat others with respect and courtesy, as you would yourself.
7.) Constantly strive to improve yourself and help others.
We accept absolutely everyone willing to learn to better themselves and be part of our team. Our classes represent many people on the road to being the best they can be. We are pleased that you have chosen to be part of us making us better! Thank you for choosing to be part of the D.M.A.A. Family.
One of the most special occasions is when we are permitted to display our talents in front of our Grand Master Cheezic. As a student, if you are spoken to by the Grand Master, he should be held in great respect. Please remember to address him as Sir, keep your response brief, and always bow. It is directly because of his efforts that we are able to learn this discipline.
ALWAYS REMEMBER: Wherever you go you represent our Academy and yourself as a person. The impression most people get of our Academy is directly through the way YOU conduct yourself... BE A SERIOUS AND RESPONSIBLE STUDENT BECAUSE ALL OF US TOGETHER ARE THE SCHOOL!!!
