I like martial arts because there is always something new to learn.  We still get to practice all the techniques we learned earlier, but new things too.  Another thing I like about karate is that it is for people of all ages and all abilities.  When I started I liked it because I was only competing against myself, it was something I could do individually.  Now I like competition, but I like that I can do it on my own too.

Max Kinney

Max came to RDMAA nearly 3 years ago. He had achieved his Jr Black Belt in an other system in Connecticut. Starting here as a green belt Max has worked hard to catch up on all the material required and never once questioned his rank. It takes a special person to be able to take a step back to continue forward and Max is one of those people.
