Being 15 and 20 lbs overweight is not a very good start when you are
in high school. I was also very short in stature. You are constantly teased,
astranged from many social circles and the last to be picked for any athletic
activity. Needless to say, this whole situation was not such a great confidence
and self-esteem boost for me.
Forty years later, I see rampant obesity in children and adults.
We must all come together to save lives and make many happier ones.
Soke Joseph Droual was inducted
March 3, 2007, into the USA Martial Arts Hall of
Fame after teaching Martial Arts full time for
38 years.
Joseph Droual has been teaching martial arts for 38
years in the Huntington area. He holds 10th degree
black
belts in Ju-Jutsu, Karate and Kobudo (weaponry) and
a 7th level sash in Gung-Fu (Kang-Nei-Chin). His title
of Soke means he is Head Founder of his own style called
Chowa-Ryu, which means "Harmony Style".
Importance of Gratitude
Gratitude is just being thankful for what you have and who you
are. It is an expression of loving self-appreciation for one's
self.
When you apply positive intentions and actions of self-appreciation
on a daily basis, your thinking will change to an improved positive
view of your personal universe.
You will stop complaining
about the weather and be glad to know that each day is a "precious blessing"
that's been gifted to all to enjoy.
You will never see your family
members as annoyances, you will see them as heavenly gifts
that bring daily joy to your life.
Stop complaining about your
expenses when at least you have employment to pay for them,
and be thankful to have a place to pay your bills.
Stop complaining about exercises
and eating right, because these actions are responsible
for maintaining your precious health.
Whatever your personal or religious beliefs are, they
will take on a newer and deeper meaning by engaging in the
above actions, words, and intentions.
All The Best,
Sijo / Soke Joe Droual

Our
Invisible Heroes
We see them everyday, but do not pay attention most of the time
because we become very busy with our lives. Yet, if there was
an emergency, they would be the first called to help out.
All the volunteer fire personnel that serve our communities
on Long Island and those fire personnel in New York City.
The police who patrol and help keep our streets safe.
All of the doctors, nurses, EMT's and other health professionals
that help keep us well and healthy.
The volunteer soldier that daily puts his life on the
line to keep our country free.
Can you think of anyone else?
Blessings, prosperity and many complements to all of you!
All the best!

The
Making of a Lifetime Champion (Jason's Story)
Jason started at around 4 years of age, smaller than the rest
of his class and on the thin side. When he started taking Ju-Jutsu
classes, he was not the quickest in the class, but reserved
and shy. However, he continued with the classes.
Jason continues studying Ju-Jutsu through his elementary school
years and I, as his teacher, gradually watched him change for
the better. The student that was once shy and reserved became
confident and assertive.
He is now consistently maintaining excellent grades in high
school as well as pursuing tennis (nationally ranked), ping
pong and music.
His Mom and Dad also actively play tennis with him and are a
source of love and encouragement. Jason's Mom and Dad also train
with me in the art of Ju-Jutsu. If you ask them they will say
that Jason's martial arts training had a lot to do with his
successes. I also happen to know that he has great parents.
In my eyes as a Soke (Head Founder) I see in Jason the qualities
of a Lifetime Champion being formed. See what martial arts training
can do to change your life or someone you love.
Calling me will make the difference. Immediate action leads
to success.
All the Best,
Soke Joe Droual
"Did you hear the news" David said, beaming
and smiling. "James scored 15 points higher on his Terranova
Test from last year. He is now in the 99 percentile for 8
year olds in the whole country." I looked at James as
we were doing our martial arts class in Ju-Jutsu.
"That's great news, I am really proud of you son",
I replied. The father came back with a warm smile saying,
"Thank you Soke Joe for helping him through your training."
Discover these results for you and your family. Our Children's
Seminars will be returning in October. Please

These are some of the reasons why several million people in
the United States currently study some type of martial arts.
Both men and women (including children) have enjoyed the numerous
benefits that the martial arts provide. Now there is a unique
opportunity to study the very best martial arts available anywhere...
right here in the Huntington area.
New York Martial Arts was established in 1966, and it is the
oldest, most experienced school in Huntington. We have retained
students for over twenty years.
All students accepted for instruction are treated as individuals
with different needs and talents. Because of the small number
of students in each class, attention is given to each to maximize
their learning.
Private training is encouraged if a student wants to accelerate
their learning experience.
In 3 months, one should expect more flexibility, a sense of
confidence, and a better sense of well-being and accomplishment.
