Hurricane Sandy Relief Drive

Amerikick Hurricane Relief Drive

Attention Students, Friends and Family Members of Amerikick:

Hurricane Sandy made a devastating impact on Staten Island, New York, which is home to two Amerikick Schools. A small Tsunami struck many areas including South Beach where up to 8 feet of flood waters washed away cars, houses and personal belongings. Our fellow Amerikick students and their families are still without power. Many have lost everything.

Amerikick is designating this week and next week as donation weeks to help the Amerikick students in Staten Island. We are asking all our Amerikick Schools, staff, students, families and friends to participate. Any donations of any kind would be greatly appreciated and will directly help the victims.

Non-perishable foods, toiletries, water, clothes, baby supplies and daily basic essentials are being asked. If you wish to make a monetary donation, make checks payable to Amerikick.

You may drop off your donations to any Amerikick School. Amerikick will coordinate the delivery to our Staten Island Amerikick students.

Any questions you may contact markrusso@amerikick.com and statenisland@amerikick.com.

Thank you

Amerikick Board of Directors

“Where do I start? Home Sweet Home Amerikick! Amerikick has been a place to call home. The sensei’s and instructors welcome you with open arms at all times. I’ve been attending this school for a year for kickboxing and what can I say. Its a wonderful place to be. My happiness is kickboxing. It saddens me because today was my last day because of some issues I’m going through. With time, the classes got better and better. AmeriKick you will always be in my heart and mind. Senseis you guys are the best.”

Since I started at Amerikick, Sensei Matt has introduce to me to my lifelong dream. Growing up and being Chinese, I was always asked if I knew martial arts. For some reason I felt embarrassed, because I had to say,” I don’t know.” It is part of my culture and I should know it. For all my friends and strangers that asked me the question in the past, “Yes, I am trained in the martial arts.”
