The United Nations Refugee Agency

Visionary Martial Arts is now proud to support the UNHCR.

 

The United Nations Refugee agency UNHCR on the ground is in some of the world's worst trouble spots, making a difference to the lives of millions.

The background of the organisation is as follows:

"The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees was established on December 14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country. It also has a mandate to help stateless people."

As our club has grown (and is now reaching our limit) new registrations will soon close. Because we have reached this point, the aim was always to support a worthy agency and let the students know where some of their fees were going to.
Stay tuned to our website by using the subscribe button nearby and you will find out what the United Nations is doing to help the millions of displaced people all over the world.

It is a huge job.

Right now, not everyone is safe.

But, this is just a small part that we can play in the overall solution.

If everyone did what they can do,

it would make a difference.

To help others become more aware, just forward this email on to a friend and urge them to subscribe to the Visionary website. At least they will see how our kids are going with their training. At best, they may decide to get involved as we have.

Character training and martial arts

Here is a video that explains one of the crucial characteristics of being a good martial artist.

It is to refine your personality.

Our teens in the Visionary Martial Arts program are trained not only in the martial arts and to be leaders, but also to improve their character.

Real martial Arts training that prepares a young student for life.

Hope you enjoy.

Please note that our club is reaching the ceiling this year of twenty students and 5 scholarships. Final places can be secured by emailing Sean on contactseanallen@yahoo.com.au

Visionary Martial Arts - Only 9 places left!

Our club is half full!

With a limit of 20 members, we are now at the half way mark. For those of you who have friends who are showing interest in having their children join, you can still secure a place in either our 4.00pm class for 7 and 8 year olds or our 4.30pm class for 9 to 15 year olds.

Remember Visionary Martial Arts is all about helping each student understand the difficulties in martial arts so that they don't lose confidence when it gets difficult. In turn, this will make a student more resilient both in the dojo and in life.

By the way, Kyoshi Sean did a demonstration recently at the Bob Jones Corporation state gradings. Here is the link so you can watch it ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39P6btDN7Ok
