Martial Artists, Every Act of Kindness Counts!
Join us for Continued ACTS OF KINDNESS DAYS
The martial arts world is stepping forward with a bold and exciting idea — and we'd like you to be a part of the movement! Here it is:
On September 11, 2006, let's motivate our students and the International martial arts community to do 911 acts of kindness (total for each school) in honor of 9/11.
We're shooting to do 1 MILLION ACTS OF KINDNESS on 9/11 — and furthermore, we're proposing that 9/11 be declared ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY, forever!
Our website is www.911aok.com; you can go there and log in your school and number of kind acts achieved. Every kind act counts — and you can participate as a martial arts school or simply pitch in your acts of kindness to our grand total. The website will be on-line by 9/11 & and it will tabulate the total number of kind acts done by those participating nationally and internationally.
This in NOT a commercial event! There are no funds to raise and nothing to sell. Your e-mail address will not be distributed. This is the martial arts community turning our philosophy of respect for self and others into ACTION!
This is movement is being launched by Grandmaster Jhoon Rhee, Tom Callos, Fariborz Azhakh, Ken Carlson, the participants in the Ultimate Black Belt Test and The Academy of Mixed Martial Ats.
On 9/11, in honor of the men, women, and children who perished that tragic day, we are proposing that martial arts schools everywhere rally their students to do 911 (total) acts of kindness (or more) on 9/11 and log them into our website: www.911aok.com
Our long term goal is to have 9/11 declared ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY and to convince the world that this is the perfect way to honor that date and all it represents.
Please watch for www.911aok.com and join us in creating something extraordinary and powerful.
Note: You may log in as many acts of kindness as you would like to — and we will begin immediately to tabulate acts of kindness totals for next year as well.
Yours in Spirit,
Mark J. Speranza and the Staff at The Academy of Mixed Martial Ats
