Martial Arts Knights Order (MAKO) in 2009 kicked-off an After School Program at the Garland School District GISD – in the Freeman Elementary School, supported by the GISD TECHNOLOGY CENTER. There, we have benefited more than 200 students and parents. Since 2010 through our Black Belt students have extended the program with the help of organizations “Big Thought” and “Thriving Minds” to the School District in Dallas-DISD – EB COMSTOCK Middle School, J.L. Long Middle School, W.W. BUSHMAN Elementary School, and EDWARD TITCHE Elementary School, benefiting more than 300 students in rotary scales. In 2011 with the Summer Camp Program, CASA VIEW Elementary School, over 350 students participated and enjoyed this benefit.
By 2012 there is the prospect of increasing the number of schools that will benefit from this program. The basis of this program is the Judo and Taekwondo as Olympic sports, and Kung Fu, Jiu Jitsu, Hapkido and Martial Arts Capoeira as complementary. In the month of April will be held THE FIRST SCHOOL DIADA MAKO, in which students compete in martial arts skills and Basic Gymnastics General.
The development of this program aims to teach students, and physical safe martial skills, courtesy, mutual respect, restraint and a spirit of constant improvement both physically and mentally, socially and culturally.
