Standing Out in Our Community

We are taking positive and significant steps toward becoming a worthy institution in our community. This morning, I sent the following letter out to our local papers and community news blogs:

Dear Friends,

On Tuesday, June 17, Allston's Emerald Necklace Martial Arts will be hosting a special workshop offered by Vantage Partners on building negotiation and conflict resolution skills. The event will take place in our dojo at 129 Braintree Street from 6:30-8:30 PM.

At our karate dojo, we have a strong belief that this kind of training is directly linked to our martial arts practice, and that developing specific skills for peacefully resolving our interpersonal conflicts is far more important than improving our punches and kicks! We are proud to offer this workshop to the community, and we hope you'll decide to join us.

This event is free, but space is limited. To reserve a spot or for more information, please contact me at 617-230-1973 or jason.gold@karateinboston.com.

Best regards,

Jason

The best part is that I can give all of the credit for putting this program together to one of my Yellow Belt students, who has only been training at the dojo for about six months. Just imagine what she'll be doing for the community a few years down the road as a Black Belt!
