We seek to arm the mind with knowledge that make make a positive difference in our training, safety, and personal choices. Students are encouraged to build their own personal martial arts library. The American Martial Arts Institute has published and produced numerous books and videos on the topics of martial arts and personal safety. A few of these are required to purchase and read or view prior to certain rank testings. Brown belt and black belt ranks include written exams from some of these materials. And, some of these resources serve as a refresher for personal practice outside of regularly scheduled classes with your instructor. Not all publications are required.
