Values

Perseverance – Perseverance is commonly connected to many different sports, martial arts especially. We believe that perseverance is a life-skill that will benefit anyone and everyone as they grow in this trait. In addition to the connection perseverance has to martial arts, perseverance more importantly is a Biblical principle that builds strength, confidence and boldness in our walk with Christ.
Character – Character is also commonly connected to many different sports, and once again this is especially true when it comes to martial arts. Traditionally there is a tremendous amount of stress put on honor, integrity, and respect in many forms of martial arts. As we combine the teachings of Christ with martial arts disciplines we have deep rooted purpose and reason to develop our character knowing that we are made by God, in God’s very own image, and that He desires to mold us into the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Hope – Hope is a word that can contain very deep meaning. As a ministry of Miamitown Church of Christ we desire that ultimately your involvement in Miamitown Martial Arts would result in starting and developing or continuing to develop your relationship with God through Christ. There is no hope like the kind we have in Christ. If you have any questions about the hope available in Christ do not hesitate one second to contact Master Delafield.
