Placentia Karate Halloween Safety Tips
Make sure that trick or treating this year is FUN and SAFE!
Review the tips below with your child, even if you plan to be with your child 100% of the time.
1. Make sure your child’s costume is fire-proof, fits properly, and allows him or her to see where he or she is going.
2. It’s important that trick-or-treaters can see and be seen after dark. Your child should wear a light-colored costume, use reflective tape, and carry a flashlight.
3. If your child’s costume includes a prop, make sure that the ends are smooth and flexible enough to prevent injuries, in case of an accidental fall.
4. If your child is going house-to-house without you, make sure to plan a route so that you’ll know where he or she is at all times and who is with him or her.
5. Trick-or-treaters should not approach houses that have their lights turned off.
6. While at a house, children should stand several feet back from the entrance and should never go inside a stranger’s home.
7. Make sure your child knows to cross streets at corners and to look both ways for traffic.
8. Children need to be cautious around candles and jack-o-lanterns. Standing too close could cause your child’s costume to catch on fire.
9. Pets and animals may be overly excited or afraid of people they don’t know, so remind your child to be cautious.
10. Your child should not eat any candy until you’ve had a chance to inspect it and
ensure that no one has tampered with it.

American Martial Arts Kicking for the Cure
From Dionne Kiloh --
pink belt.jpg American Martial Arts is raising money to find a cure for Breast Cancer through their students and the public. We are opening our doors for the public to attend a fun, festive, and life changing event for those who are affected, have been affected, or may be affected by breast cancer in their lives.
The event will be on Wednesday October 14, 2015 from 6:30 to 8:30pm. The event will be held at 1027 n Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92832. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. A representative will be there at 7 pm to accept a check for more than $5,500.00 and talk to us about the research, foundation and its mission. Free kids workshops will be held from 6:30 to 7:00pm. Free Adult karate workshops will continue following until 8:30 pm. THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME. There is no cost to attend. Food, drinks, and music will be available to everyone. Pink wrist bands to support the cause will be for sale in the amount of $5.00.
We the students at AMAA wanted to give back. This campaign was put together by a group of students called “The red belt academy”. We are hoping to test in January for our black belts. Part of our journey is to give back to the community. We felt the choice of supporting Breast Cancer would impact more than our own area, but help everyone affected in some way. The academy decided to sell pink karate belts for the students and staff to wear during the month of October, showing our dedication to the cause.
American Martial Arts Academy put this in place more than 20 years ago. Twice a year there is a test for black belt, and with each academy the choice of a community project changes. I think this is our best one yet! Please join us as we have raised more than $5,500.00 and the number is still rising. Come celebrate with us, and be part of the quest for the cure.

Pink Belt Revolution!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. It's likely that we all know someone who's fighting this battle - it could be your mom, aunt, sister, grandma or your friend. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second-most common cancer overall. Per the Susan G Komen For the Cure website, in 2015, an estimated 231,840 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. alone. So no matter who you are or where you live, understanding breast cancer is important. And a very important thing to know is this: a diagnosis is not a death sentence. Breast cancer can be treated.
While there’s no foolproof way to prevent it, there are things you can do that may reduce your risk of getting it, primarily by maintaining healthy lifestyle choices. And it is recommended that age 40 is the usual starting age to consider getting yearly mammograms. While breast cancer risk is generally much lower among younger women, certain genetic factors can put some women at a higher risk. If breast cancer is in your family's history, it is recommended to go sooner than age 40.
Due to the use of regular mammography screening, most breast cancers in the U.S. are found at an early stage, before signs appear. And be aware that every woman can have different signs of breast cancer. However, not all breast cancers are found through mammography, so it is important to do self-checks at home.
Wearing the pink karate belts at AMAA this month of October, shows our support for the women battling this disease, along with their friends and family. It's important for them to know that they're not battling this alone, and to never give up hope! AMAA's aim is that all the pink belts will bring awareness to everyone about breast cancer. On October 14th, from 6:30-8:30pm, our entire student body will be joining us for a special night to raise awareness - there will be special workouts with Shihan (for all ages), free food & refreshments, special guests, and fun! Please mark your calendar to join us...we are looking for 100% STUDENT PARTICIPATION!
AMAA would like to thank everyone who has donated to this worthy cause and is wearing their pink belts proudly in classes. I encourage everyone to keep donating to the Susan G Komen Foundation to help find a cure and to never give up hope!
Thank you,
Miss Jacqueline Starkman
