The strength and longvity of the American Institute of Martial Arts has always been because of what one man dared to establish; not in his life, but in the lives of those he called students, family and friends.
Soke Joseph Bonacci is the steel that has been turned, forged, pounded, and burned, in the fires that rise to a single concept... “What-ever it Takes”
Some men will endure only so much, some men will allow God to smelt them only so far, Some will become the metal that God may use to cut to the hearts of men...
Soke Joseph Bonacci is such a man and God has surely used him to touch the lives of many men and women. I can assure you that a path such as this is not easy, and in his words... “It was not for the many that would come, but for the one willing to follow.”
The American Institute of Martial Arts will continue this path, honoring the man who dared to dream, and allowed God to Gift him in a way, to help in the lives of others!
Humbly,
Shihan Michael A. Albenze - President
