7. National Handicapable Martial Arts Association - source (David Hackett)

 

Greetings To All:  I am contacting you today on behalf of the National Handicapable

Martial Arts Association.  We are a grass roots, non-profit organization, dedicated

to the development and promotion of Martial Arts for the physically disabled.

The organization was started about a year ago in the United States, and has grown to

take on international proportions, with affiliates world-wide.  I have been appointed

to the position of Canadian Director, and am contacting you with the hopes of getting

our message out to Martial Artists across Canada, disabled and able-bodied alike.

 

Our first priority is to locate and contact disabled Martial Artists across the country,

to let them know about the organization, and what we have to offer. Anyone can be a member

of the N.H.M.A.A., but our focus, obviously, is on the disabled.  There is NO cost to join.
