After being in  a car accident last November  and going through a lot of Physical Therapy, our assistant instructor Starlite Connoly is coming back slowly.

She’s has been stretching daily during classes and assisting Lewis Munger with the beginners students.

One of her doctors said if she wasn’t involved in Martial Arts she probably would be paralyzed after the accident.

Thanks for the support from the parents from our school and the kind words.

“She has been through a lot and we have been supporting her since, and once again she showed how mentally strong she is and how much she missed teaching and competing in Taekwondo. We are very happy she is back.” RLMA

Master Lima was invited to teach Taekwondo at the Gulfside Elementary School in Holiday/FL for the  Great America Teach In Day, on November 18th, 2009.

He taught the almost 90 students the basic moves of  TAEKWONDO, where some students had the chance to even break boards!! He also explained what RESPECT  means, he made sure the kids understood how important and how much they have to RESPECT their teachers and their parents.

“It was a great and fun day! I enjoyed every minute of it! It’s amazing to be able to teach some of those kids the value of Martial Arts, which it should be taught on daily basis.

But the way society is, we as parents, we have no time in our hands to teach our kids everything we would like to, that’s when enrolling your child in a Martial Arts program will be a life time  investment ” -Master Lima
