I would like to thank you for your kind and encouraging words to my son, Alex, on Saturday at the tournament. It meant a lot to him to have someone of your caliber to take the time to show you care.

At 6 years old, it is important to have someone speak so kindly and with hope. I'm sure this is something you do on a daily basis, but it is something I was not willing to let go unnoticed. It is important to me to have my child around adults who show such wonderful qualities. I feel it would be a great injustice for me not to express my appreciation.

I realized Saturday that his father and I made the right choice when we picked a karate school for him to attend. It is my opinion that the students from KMAI were better behaved and more well-mannered than the children of the other schools. I believe this comes from the instructors who have trained them. You all have a lot to be proud of. As an observer in the stands, I could name the school the children attended before I even saw their uniforms. Although that my not sound like much, I believe it speaks volumes.

Very truly yours,

Cindi Pearce
