Museum to put on largest display at the MAIA SuperShow convention this July       The Martial Arts Industry Association will once again host the biggest martial art business conventions in the world.       This year, the wonderful people at MAIA have invited the Museum to put on a huge display in order to bring awareness to this very important cause of keeping our history alive.       The Museum will have a variety of both interactive, educational and interesting items that will make it extra exciting.       "I was thrilled to get the call from MAIA and I'm very glad that members of the martial arts community such as the great people of MAIA want to assist the Museum and the industry this way," notes Museum president Michael Matsuda.

Opening for April put aside for Permanent Location
     We have a pleasant change in plans. As many of you know, we were supposed to re-open this April in North Hollywood (part of Los Angeles city). However, a structure we have been interested in has made itself available. Therefore, instead of investing funds into a temporary leased location, the museum has an opportunity to move into a permanent structure.
     Unfortunately, can't go into detail, but, if all goes well we will open once the deal gets signed. Please, please be patient with us. "We have spent the last year going back and forth with this and finally we may have something. So if you can wait just a little longer, hopefully we can sign the deal and have a three-day weekend opening," notes Matsuda.
     If you haven't become a member, I urge you to do so as we will need a lot of funding as time goes on.
     By making a donation to the museum, you will play a role in helping us move. All donations are tax-deductible so we hope we can depend on you.
