With All New projects and Ideas, there will always be groups of people down playing
it.
When we started with Action Martial Arts, everyone said we would not last 4 issues.
Now 21 years later and 76 issues produced and distributed, we are the Second largest
Full coverage Martial Arts Magazine in the USA.
When we started our event many said the support would die and it would disappear
?
January of 2010 this year was our 10th anniversary and we were sold out with over
1200 people at our Banquet and 2200 at our trade show and seminars. When we came
out with the Action Martial arts Collectors card people laughed at the idea. 10 Decks
later and over 1 Million cards distributed many are still waiting for applications
for the Newest deck . When the Idea of the Gold Shield came to me It was from familiar
surroundings , I saw all trades of business having pins, Plumbers, Elevator operators
, Bus drivers, just to name a few. Now why shouldn’t the Martial Arts have a statement
for its self ?
