This morning I have received your email from MASA kids club. I am so proud of the funny, caring, independent and gorgeous little human being my son is becoming. I would like to say big thanks to MASA kids club and all of the MASA team, head instructor Ray Sargeant and Tammy Sargeant for the fantastic martial arts program. MASA team helped a lot Rohinish to achieve this Gold Chevron Award. He has throughly enjoyed it and has gained confidence and discipline from the little ninja program. He is always excited to get more stars. I am so proud of the fine person he is becoming under your training. Look forward for many years to come. Martial arts - leadership academy

Hi Tammy and Ray,
Thank you for keeping us updated with Karlo’s progress.
Karlo is really enjoying the classes and can’t wait to go each week anyway, but when I read your emails to him he couldn’t get the smile off his face and he wanted to know if he could go back again the same day! J
You’re doing a fantastic job and not just with Karlo. Everyone I’ve interacted with at MASA, from the instructors to the students have been extremely polite, respectful and considerate and that is a credit to you both.
Regards

Thanks so much for your email today regarding Kirby's awrd in class today.
She has been trying so hard and practising at home. She said tonight she hopes to one day be one of the young helpers in class. She said they have to be pretty good, so she's working hard.
We love the feedback. Thanks. Sascha

I've been attending MASA with my two sons for the last year and a half.
At first, they were definitely the noisy ones but have seen them grow into caring, diciplined, confident and motivated little boys.
They have learned skills, of which I'm sure will help them later in life and have been taught in a way that is fun.
It is so nice, to see the Academy growing and for such a lovely couple (Ray and Tammy), to be doing well after investing so much of their time.
Regards, Tareena.July 2012In a nutshell this is our take on our experience at MASA:"Its not just about martial arts – its about providing an environment where the main principles are discipline and respect for others. Both our 7 year old son and 4 year old daughter have benefitted no-end from being involved with Ray's classes. Not only do we see markedly improved behaviour in their home and school lives but also each child displaying distinct leadership tendencies amongst their peers. If at the end of their training they can defend themselves physically - that will be a bonus, the progression they have made towards being better members of society is a major benefit in its own right."Kind regards, Andrew DeanMay 2012Our Testimonial:
Courtney has been attending MASA since she was 6, she is now 12 and last year achieved her black belt, she is now working towards her black belt 2nd Dan. She started martial arts because she seemed to be a target for bullies at school, being quite a quiet girl.
Over the years her confidence has grown, but she has not lost her gentle nature.
On the rare occasion another child tries to bully her she now does not feel threatened but instead tells a teacher.
Other children at her school admire Courtney because she has a black belt and her school has recognised her achievement with an award.
Over the years my daughter has been involved in several sporting activities but Martial Arts has been the one constant in her life. She always has attended the classes willingly and enjoys attending because the martial arts leaders make the classes lots of fun, while being in a structured and safe environment.
The children are set clear guide lines so they learn how to focus on the class activities in a sensible but enjoyable way.For her 11th birthday party she was insistent that it be held at the MASA and her birthday party which included mostly girls was enjoyed by all.
Thanks Ray and Tammy.
Kind Regards, Glenda

Dear Sargeant Sa Bom Nim,
Thank you so much for your help, assistance and encouragement in my achievement of Cho Dan rank (1 level blackbelt).The whole experience has strengthened my confidence and faith in my own abilities. Not only have I achieved a personal goal, training has created other opportunities for success in my life which is just fantastic.
Your passion, dedication and inspiration in helping others is commendable and something I aspire to do in my life.
Kind regards, Tania Back.
