Message From Sr. Master Luttrell

For 43 years I have practiced martial arts. During my training, I have learned that to truly benefit from martial arts training, you have to look deep inside yourself and confront those things about yourself that only you can see. To hold yourself to a higher standard, tempered by intense training, and justified by a strong witness. Not by bragging, but by walking the walk and living to improve yourself with training, not only the physical, but the mental and spiritual also. It is the trinity of the martial arts, Mind-body-spirit that we should strive to improve and balance. The Martial Artist Foundation's goal is to help others, especially young people, learn how to build a successful life using martial arts training. We teach these ideals, Martial-mind, Artist-body, Foundation-spirit, leads to victory over yourself. If this journey interests you, then participate with us.
