It is with a heavy heart that we pass on the news of the passing of Hanshi Morgan " Rhino " Woods. He was not only a great Martial Artist, but an even better mentor and friend. May he rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Everyone should be supporting this event in December! No excuses! Please register and bring a toy to help us surpass our goal.

We got our sign up at the park that we adopted. I'm so excited to see it, and so proud of our program and the impact that we try to have in the community in which we live.

Check out our new improved website! It was a long time coming but we finally got it done. www.phoenixmartialartssociety.com

Phoenix Martial Arts Society is hosting a Cap & Sock drive for the homeless veterans. We will be collecting hats (new or used), socks (new), scarves (new or used), coats (new or used) and hygiene products (travel size shampoo - soap - deodorant- etc) to make hygiene bags. These are being collected from now up until November. All of this will be sorted and packaged by our board members, black belts, brown belts and any other volunteers from our students and parents. Pleas...e help us make this a very successful event. Helping the community in which we live is very important to us and feel that this is a contagious thing! By getting PMAS and its people involved in various things for the community we feel that we can instill and spread the pride in where we live. That pride and community spirit will prompt them to spread it around and so on and son and so on. Together we are more. Together we are strong.

Come on guys! let's get some representation here!
