September 28, 2009 UNIVERSAL Dear folks, KEMPO-KARATE
Recently, I was requested to put to paper my thoughts on Anthony Arango’s and Lawton Llewellyn’s “Warrior Personal Safety Training Systems.” That was easy to do; because I always enjoy writing about winners and Anthony Arango along with Lawton Llewellyn are two of my favorites. Then I realized that I had already completed such a letter back on October 24, 2007 to Chairman Cokinos and President John Cokinos, who are the Chairman and President of Educational Funding Company. Thus, here are my thoughts on this subject back then and now. == October 24, 2007 Dear Chairman Cokinos and President John Cokinos,
Just a note to let you know that we (The Universal Team here is Colorado) think bringing Anthony Arango on to the Advisory Board was one of the smartest things you folks have ever done. I met Anthony at one of the MAUI Warrior’s Weekends about 9 to 12 months back and he was my training partner on the mat. He is a skilled martial artist with a gentle spirit and caring heart. He has been a joy to get to know and I consider him a true friend that can be counted on at a moment’s notice.
He has been working with myself and our team on the “Child Safety And Awareness Program.” We have been working this program for a couple of months now and kicked it off here in Colorado a couple of weeks back with our first “Child Abduction Prevention Seminar.” It was met with rave reviews. Anthony “Baby stepped” us through the process every step of the way.
As a result of his efforts we are making ever a larger impact on our community. We have been recognized as Leaders in this community for years. Now with Anthony’s blend of the Child Safety and Awareness Program into our system, it does nothing but add even more value to what we are already proving to the community that we live in.
Above all else, we realize that Anthony is providing such a tremendous service, not only to the martial arts schools but more importantly to each town, city and state that embraces the program. It is the right thing to do and we are very appreciative to Mr. Arango for blazing the trail for us. It is a perfect “hand in glove” situation with what we are already doing.
I admire and respect Anthony Arango and what he has brought to the party. You can tell he has done the homework for all of us and is dedicated to helping us understand and implement this program in our area. He is a perfect living example of your saying:
“The mature mind gives without remembering and receives without forgetting.”
I just wanted you to know, we appreciate the wisdom and giving spirit of Anthony Arango.
When you see such a fine character in a man, it is natural to try to “peel away the layers” or “drill down” to find the magic of his success. We are quick to realize that a large part of his success lies within the foundation of his family. We appreciate Eileen (his wife) keeping him in line….smile. When we watch with an eye for detail and ask better questions, we can tell that Eileen is the “magic behind the mountain.”
I know Anthony is where he is today because of the “quite strength” and “unwavering faith” of Eileen. Their children are blessed to have them two as parents.
I would say “Anthony is a keeper”….smile.
Kind regards, Garland == Now with Anthony combining his efforts with Lawton Llewellyn there is no stopping this duo as they continue to evolve and develop the “Warrior Personal Safety Training Systems.” I am excited and eager to endorse this fantastic program. Any Professional Martial Arts School Owner that is serious in making a positive impact in their community must seriously consider investing in the aforementioned program. The information you will learn in this program (as my kids would say) will rock your world. Buy it. You will thank me later.

Kind regards,
