PKA Staff Letter

Martial Artists of all styles Welcome!

The objective of the Professional Karate Association, is to promote the advancement of all styles of Martial Arts by providing Certifications for Schools, Instructors & Students and by sponsoring Instructional Clinics, Workshops & Training Camps in every area of the country.

We'll also be hosting a series of Business related seminars with topics such as; Advertising, Marketing Strategies, Business Practices and Insurance.

Whether your classes are being held in a community center, shopping mall or a 10,000 Square Foot Luxury Dojo, everyone can still grow and regardless of location.  Remember that Bruce Lee started in a basement.  The ingredients for success are Spirit, Heart & Determination.

Today's Martial Arts students deserve the same quality of training as we did in the 60's and 70's.  We must pass forward that knowledge in the same manner in which  we received it.  In the same fashion that a father passes on a family heirloom  to his son.  And then from son to grandson.  Each treasuring the gift and preserving it for the next generation.

A well rounded Martial Arts Education should include; Tenets or Philosophies, History, Patterns or Katas, Safety Awareness, Self-defense, Sparring and a Community Service Activity or Fundraiser.

The Professional Karate Association provides certifications for schools and instructors that have met these standards and abide by them.  Schools that care about their students and the preservation of their Arts.

The PKA also provides an International Network a Martial Artists that have band together to form a Brotherhood like no other.  Each has volunteered to give help other PKA Members, in the form of their experience and knowledge.  

A friend of mine, who is a very successful business man, once told me "If you want to be successful, you have to surround yourself with successful people".  

The Professional Karate Association is here to help you grow.

We have posted our certified schools on our School Directory Page.  There students will have the ability to find a school that will provide them with a good, well rounded Martial Arts Education, from an instructor who teaches from his heart.

Sincerely,

John Persinger, Chairman
