This is no empty ‘testimonial’ that I am about to post, it is the simple truth and I hope it will give you reason to believe and trust every word of ABMA;s above statement. I am a 63 year old female, I’ve been with ABMA for almost two years and I have achieved my Red Belt.
Here’s the scenerio: I’m living in our trailer in a tiny RV park outside of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, and Pete left for Arvada an hour ago. He will be gone for a couple of weeks so I am by myself.

Even though it is nearly 6:30 down here it is still pitch dark and fairly spooky as we are technically in the woods across the Arkansas River and isolated from the blazing town of Sand Springs. There are many caves in the cliffs, the night wind is whistling through the new leaves, the frogs and insects are making their usual night noise (I’m in the South, remember?)…it’s the sound-track to a scary movie. Just three days ago, in the neighborhood closest to us about 1/2 mile away, a homeowner shot and killed a burglar he found in his home.

When Pete disappeared down the road to the highway I went to the “shower/laundry house” just across the drive. There are no trailers over there, just the limestone cliffs and woods on top of them. I was really freaked out walking into the bathroom and really, really freaked out coming back into the trailer knowing someone could actually have gotten in the trailer waiting to attack. All of a sudden I’m alone in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by people I don’t know. The potential for danger is immediately much, much higher, much more realistic. But the training I have received from you in martial arts gives me confidence, clarity of thought and mental preparation. I’m not deluded about wrapping an attacker in knots, leaving him writhing in pain and whimpering for mercy…that is not what my karate training is about.

I have been taught to do what I can to escape; injuring the attacker is just a bonus and only to be done to immobilize or impede the attack. You have taught me to react immediately, use every bodily weapon I have at my command (elbows, knees, kicks, eye-gouges, punches, screaming, etc…repeat as needed), and then get the hell away, get to the trailer, lock the door, grab my phone and call 911. The sequence of events isn’t that important for the most part; what is important is that I have basic skills, basic knowledge, a basic plan, and these give me the confidence I need to act. I know I have a fighting chance to save my own life.

Thanks to my training, my instructors, and my friends at America’s Best Martial Arts.
