Center front office remodel

Wait till you see our new floors, paint and cleanup in the front office. Josh Powell and I spent the day getting things done. I wanted to put something back into our business and so I cleaned up the area people see the most - the lobby. Josh repainted and cleaned the walls, I got frames for the wonderful "Black Belt" picture Troy Anderson took, now others can see how proud I am of the black belts at our center.

Remember we influence lives...

What I do as a person and instructor influences those around me. Sometimes I can get consumed in daily activities and forget this. Here is a e-mail I recieved from a previous student and it makes me feel good about what I do...when I showed it to James he felt great too...

"hello Marty Matins Karate center,

about 5 years ago i was a student at your center and i progressed to purple belt before moving to orlando. i just wanted to thank you because all the training you gave me has been very beneficial. when moving to orlando i then continued and progress while in orlando to 2nd degree black belt. i know live in england and attend tournaments across the country. recently i gave an interview to a newspaper attending a competition, and they asked me who was an influence in my life with regards to kararte, and i said Marty Martins Kenpo Karate center because they made it fun and enjoyable, especially James Thaxton, who was my teacher. i just thought you would like to know. much regards.
