Tax Receipts

Dear Parents & Students,

Many of you have inquired about the new 2007 sports child tax credit and getting receipts from the school for your child's tuition. Yes, we will be issuing these receipts very shortly. Sadly, the government has not given us any information on the procedure of what the receipt needs to look like or say. Also due to the vast number of receipts required we want to do this right the first time.

As of this writing we are almost set to go. Your tax receipt will follow very soon!

I thank you for your patience in this matter.

Yours in the arts,

Master Art Mason

Instructor Certification Course

Part of the tradition of martial arts is the passing on of knowledge from one generation of students to the next. In the past the student approached the instructor looking for training in whatever art the teacher practiced and then waited for the teach to accept him or her as a student. Today thousands of men, women and children decide they wish to learn an art or discipline and seek out the best teacher they can find or afford. Times and circumstances have changed, but the basic tradition still lives on.

If you are one of these people interested in 'learning' how to teach the art you yourself have spent so much time practicing, then we have a solution for you! The Peaceful Warriors' Instructor Certification Course.

The course is comprised of a special Instructor Certification Study Manual. Once the manual is complete the student with then write and exam. The student will also be placed on the training floor, under the guidance to a certified instructor to lean the ins and outs of teaching both children and adults. The student will also be give a teaching timeslot, to begin to compile the number of teach hours needed to certify. Upon completion of your course, hours and rank requirements you will receive a beautiful certicate signed by Master Curt Mason, Internationally registered instructor, and Master Art Mason, Internationally Certified Instructor by The World Head of Society - An International Council of Masters and Grandmasters Founders-Headmasters-Soke-Sijo-Inheritors

If this is something that interests you please contact Master Curt Mason directly at 519-962-9820 most evenings or via email at cmason@thepeacefulwarriors.org
