The Walk and 5k For Autism Awareness-April 27, 2014

MJA Martial Arts and our demonstration team put on a 1-hour demonstration at Lake Park in Worcester MA. Directed by Sensei Michael Agbay. Head coach Michael Frustaci and assistant coach Stavros Aganis did a remarkable job putting these routines together and choreographed to music. With the assistance of Instructor Chris Orcutt and Assistant Instructor Kendra Mort. Students ranging from 6-17 years participated in the incredible event. Everything from group routines to individual empty hand and weapon routines were performed. Even though the weather was cold and rainy, all these kids lit up the park with their smiles and attitudes.

There were also some kata (forms) and technique demonstrations put on by our very own students who themselves have a form of Autism. enough to make any parent proud!

MJA Martial Arts has also become a sponsor to help raise money for Worcester Autism Resource Center of Central Massachuestts.
We conducted a Kick-A-Thon which we set a goal for $3000.00 which ends Saturday May 3, 2014.
