  First, I would just like to welcome our new students, Erich and James!   It's great to see our Ohana at Hayes Martial Arts grow and get  stronger.  I would like to encourage you all to send any ideas that you  have for Golden Dragon Ohana events and newsletter updates to Jayme Esperanza by sending her an email at news@hayesmartialarts.com so that she can continue to keep us connected through these great monthly newsletters.
  Thanks to All! Grand Master Pete
    |         ana eventsbbb  Special  Thanks to Grand Master Pete Morales for being a guest instructor at HMA  last Thursday, 1/28! We would also like to thank Sifu Monica and the students from Kajukenbo  Forever for joining us in this special class and for taking part in  some sparring matches with the HMA students. It is always a pleasure to  see different schools within our Kajukenbo Ohana under one roof to share  what they've learned of our art.

   SIGUNG SHAWN HAYES   Growing up in the art of Kajukenbo, I became familiar with the basic principles of many arts. Whether kicking, punching, or grabbing; it seemed that Kajukenbo bridged the gap in all ranges of fighting. Kajukenbo teaches us to go out and continue growing and learning. Now Imagine how I felt when I first seen and experienced Balintawak for the first time up close. Balintawak,  with its quick, powerful and direct moves was just what I was looking  for to compliment my training. What is so wonderful about Balintawak  is that it helps enhance, build, and strengthen the attributes to make  anyone a great fighter. What do you get when you combine these two  incredible arts? . . .  Hayes Martial Arts – That’s what!  ~~~~~~~~~~                                                                                                                                         Food For Thought:|
   If you think you are beaten, you are;  If you think that you dare not, you don't;  If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,  It's almost certain you won't.
   If you think you'll lose, you've lost;  For out in the world you'll find  Success begins with a person's will -  It's all in the state of mind.
   If you think you are outclassed, you are;  You've got to think high to rise;  You've got to be sure of yourself  You can ever win a prize
   Life's battles don't always go;  To the stronger or faster man;  But sooner or later the person who wins  Is the one who thinks he can.
