Spring Martial Arts

Testimonials
(Thanks to all for their kind words).

Mr.Chretien,

I think that what you do for these kids is great. My son Jordan Silva loves being a part of Spring Martial Arts. Since he joined in January he has so much more self respect and he is so much more patient. He is also getting into real good shape. You and your instructors are great and I hope my son sticks with it for a lifetime.

Thanks,

Stephanie

Dear Sir,

I encountered SMA for the first time at the PCMA clinic in Jacksonville , Alabama last July. Every member of the group from SMA had shining personal qualities. I encountered patience, courage, thoughtfulness, helpfulness and an eagerness to share as I moved from area to area at the clinic. In the katas I witnessed incredible grace, discipline and focus.

Thank you for being my first lesson in kung-fu. Your presence there has given me the goal of continuing this study in the future.

Very respectfully,
Allen Green

Dear Mr. Chretien,

Over the past 9 years, you have been an extremely important, and excellent, influence upon my son's, Jacob and Steven Arenstein's lives. Mine as well.

You have helped me and my boys over a lot of obstacles in our lives by being there when it counted. You have helped them learn self respect, self discipline, and self esteem, as well as respect for others.

Both boys have grown up with the knowledge that they can do anything or be anything they want to be when they are older. I have you to thank for what you have done for me and my boys, and are still doing for us even now. You and your school are the best things that have ever happened in our lives.

It is because of your teachings and your time and patience, that both Jacob and Steven, and even myself, have become what we are today.

Thank you!
Nancy E. Kust

I just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with your classes. My son is Gilbert Bates and he just started classes and is over weight and has very low self esteem. Within two classes, he has learned that respect goes both ways. Last night he was talking about bowing to the instructors, but it really made him feel good that they respected him enough to bow to him.

He is very excited about going and I just wanted to let you know I think you and your instructors are doing a great job for these kids.

Thanks Again
Gloria Bates

Mr. Chretien,

I wanted to write my testimonial when I got my 1st Degree Adult Black Belt. That is why I have not written one until now. Now that I have earned my 1st Degree Adult Black Belt want to say that I think you are one of the best martial arts teachers around. You have taught me how to defend myself and for that I thank you. I still have a lot to learn in Kung Fu, and that is why I must stick with it. It has become part of my life. I don't know what I would do without it. My journey as an Adult Black Belt has just begun, and I have a long journey ahead of me. My journey will not end until I die.

-Steven

My boys have been studying Kung Fu with Mr. Chretien for the last 9 years. He has made a tremendous impact on their lives, as well as our whole family. He expects each student to put forth only their best. He has an excellent way of instructing, which results in a fabulous group of martial artists.

The training and respect my boys have learned at Spring Martial Arts have filtered into all aspects of their school and home lives. Mr. Chretien even takes an interest in his student's personal lives outside of Kung Fu. Mr. Chretien has been such a positive influence for so many people.

On the "Not This Time" Program
The class was great. It gave me a sense of confidence. I have been practicing the moves we learned every night. I am looking forward to phase 2 of the program. I really appreciate the extra effort you made with me. I was telling my husband when I got home that evening, even though I knew I was not in real danger during the practice drills, I would have a sense of deja-vue, and it would start to feel real, my heart was beating so fast. There was actual fear in my chest. The class gave me a chance to confront my fear of being attacked again. Your staff that was at the class was very helpful and encouraging. I look forward to future interactions with you and the staff at SMA. Once again, thanks so much for your help.

Dear Mr. Chretien, I would like to thank you for teaching me kung-fu. I believe that the way you teach is very good considering that you listen to questions fully and always explain in detail exactly what we are learning. For this I thank you.

Your Student,

One thing I have noticed is the dedication of the students at Spring Martial Arts. They ALL want to get active and do things. They want to come to class everyday, they want to learn, and they all want to improve. This shows during tournaments, and any place I have seen any of the students. They are some of the most well behaved, and they act very maturely for their age. It is a great atmosphere for the kids.

Chuck, I would like to take this time to thank you for giving me the privilege to study kung fu under your teaching. The knowledge you bestow upon me and the other students is very clear and precise with excellent explanations. I have often heard that a person can be a wealth of knowledge and it is my opinion that you are the richest man alive when it comes to kung fu in all of it's facets. Thank you again with all of my heart,

-Linda Ellen

Once again, I would like to thank everyone that is involved with our facility. Whether you are a student, kickboxer, a supporting parent or one of our black belt or kickboxing instructors, my thanks go out to you for your continual support at SMA. I believe we have one of the best trained group of instructors. They are excellent at what they do and they genuinely want to see the students/members excel and exceed their goals.

I'm asking as a favor for anyone that is affiliated with Spring Martial Arts to take a few moments and write down favorable comments (hopefully you will have some) in the form of a testimonial. Nothing long or formal. Just if there is something you'd care to say about SMA, it would be nice to hear and share it. Eventually I hope to gather enough to make a separate testimonials page. You can either give it to me in hardcopy or email it to: chuck@springmartialarts.com.

Thanks,
Sifu Chretien
