Hi everyone! Our NAMA students would like to remind everyone that we are having a chili supper/pie auction at the Legion Hut on November 4th at 5:30 pm. We will also have the election results coming in as everyone enjoys the hot chili and good fun! Please come out to support your local team that is headed for international competition in Canada May 2015. 


A short reminder that we are having class Friday October 31st, because Nationals is right around the corner. We understand if you can't make it but we will be there sweating!


Hope everyone has a great weekend,


Ms. Jessica

Check out our article in this weeks Mountaineer Echo! A special thanks to Ann Worster for taking the time to interview us and write such a fabulous article! I'd like to remind everyone we have the fundraiser at Chili's on November the 18th all day. BUT please remember you MUST mention us or show them the flyer in order to get the 10% donated. We will be attending in uniform from 5:30-8:30 pm, so that will be fun! We also have the chili supper/pie auction on November the 4th at 5:30 complete with incoming election news. We hope to see ya'll there. 

Look for an upcoming article featuring the Marion County Library which hosted a stranger danger course today. We had some great kids come out and try out their skills after listening to street smarts about how to deal with different situations. 

If your business would like to host a free stranger danger seminar contact Ms. Jessica at 870.736.0571. We'll be more than happy to come out!

Well Turkey Trot went as well as can be expected with all the rain we got! At least the parade was not a rainy one. It was a nice reprieve. We got over 200 NAMA cards out during the parade so hopefully we will have some new students to meet soon! Here are some pictures from Turkey Trot. 
We also have a fundraiser for our international Canada trip coming up. If you mention this ad or print this flyer and show it to Chili's on November 18th, Chili's will donate 10% of the bill to us. Please come support us at Mountain Home Chili's on the 18th, we would really appreciate all the help! The special will be going on all day and you can also mention it at the drive thru and they will honor it as well. Please tell your friends and family and spread the word. We will also be there at 5:30-8:30 pm in our uniforms holding doors so come join the cause and get some great dinner in the process!

Welcome everyone!

First off I would like to welcome everyone to the new website. Catching up to the 21st century is hard sometimes when it goes so fast! When I first started instructing what was to become North Arkansas Martial Arts (NAMA) 10 years ago I had no idea I would be here today. I am a 5th degree black belt with my own studio and big dreams to expand NAMA into other nearby areas. I do not claim to know where the future will take me but I hope to someday soon have 2 locations open, with a 3rd on the way. Enough about me and my dreams/goals. Let's focus on the awesome NAMA students!

Some new announcements are in order:

On October 25th at 11:00am we will be at the Marion County Library doing a class/seminar. Feel free to join in the fun. All participates will receive 2 free weeks of classes. 

A huge congratulations to our NAMA black belt students who are in for the CTF National Jacket Competition this year! Tyler Duncan, Dominic Giles, Felicia Harper, & Adam Willis. Win or loose you all put out some tough effort in training this year and I could not be any prouder. 

We also just started the CTF black belt program. This program is designed to help students achieve a more rounded well being through extra curricular activities. Some of these include learning how to write down new life goals, community service, first aid skills, and others, that after completion each student is awarded a patch and certificate. Meanwhile, a black belt is also embroidered with their name and displayed in the school so that they can always have a visual goal where they are headed. If you are a newer student and want more information please let us know and we'll be happy to help answer your questions.

The next tournament is nationals on November 15th in Memphis, TN. We are excited about our last competition of the year! Good luck to all the competitors from everywhere! 

Following our Nationals tournament I must say is one of my favorite gatherings - the Awards Banquet held every year. Ms. Olivia Rosado is our host this year. It will be held on December 6th. This is where everyone is not sweaty for a change and where the jackets and awards are given out. A fancy extended family party if you will. Fun times! 

 We are also training for a bigger cause this year. Myself and a few of my students are training for an international tournament in Canada in May 2015. We are going with other CTF team members representing the USA. We are working very hard physically to get up to par for the competition that will be there. This tournament is also a bit pricey. We are in the process of setting up fundraisers right now. We will be selling food, drinks, and snacks during turkey trot which is October 10th and 11th. We are also trying to set up a pie auction right before elections in November. If you have any ideas or contributions to our cause please let us know!
