Testimonial of Alliance & Dr. Jim Thomas 
  

My name Todd Somers, I own Dragons Martial Arts In Salem,IN. I have competed in several alliance tournaments thru the years.

I can honestly say, that they are the best well organized events I have been to.

 

The alliance has always had a family & team attitude with all the schools, that are apart of it. I've made lots of friends over the years thru Alliance. One of the people I've enjoy talking to you every time I see him , is Grandmaster Black. He has always encouraged me with my school and the growing pains that come with a new martial arts school.

 

All I can say about Alliance is....if your not a member , you and your school should join!! I've been apart of many other organizations and they don't even come close to matching up! Everything they do is always 1st class!!

 

Dr. Jim Thomas is a wonderful president of Alliance.  He isn't one of these guys you can never get a hold of, He has always been their to answer any question that I have had. about tournaments, events, the hall of fame, etc.

 

Dr. Jim Thomas inducted me into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame in April of 08 and I will be inducted again in April 4th, 09'. It is the greatest honor for that to happen to me, Hall of fame is a night that Jim Thomas, recognizes the work and dedication.. a lot of Martial Artist go through to keep their schools open and the sacrifices that are made to your health, financial & sometimes your personal life.

 

Alliance and Dr. Jim Thomas is the best thing going on in martial arts today!! It's a true honor to know him and be apart of this great organization!

Dr. Thomas;
I am a multi-year alumni and Doctorate recipient. I just wanted to tell you thank you for your kindness and wonderful personal attention all these years, and for you do for all your inductees. I am more proud of my doctorate than anything else I have received from any organization, and I display it proudly in the entrance to my school. What prompted me to write you today was your newsletters I receive. I LOVE THEM. They are to the point, extremely informative and jam packed with more information than I could ever remember to write if I was the author of such a newsletter!!!!!!!!!!! I am also a huge fan of Benny Urquidez and I was so impressed to see you know him. I had told you by phone I take care of my 90 year old father as I have done for 7 years now. I am extremely proud to help him, but that unfortunately makes it difficult to travel. Your kindness to me and your newsletters have made me feel more "in the loop" than you could ever imagine!!I am glad, honored and proud to have met you, glad honored and proud to have received honors from you and so touched by the way you make everyone you speak to feel important and respected. Please keep the newsletters coming and please never change. You are a truly great man and someone who deserves only the best. Thank you Sir!
