Arashi-Do Springbank

Hey all we have decided to cancel classes in Springbank tonight make up night will be Monday regular day and times

Karate is the "master" or central figure among other disciplines like Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Judo, Aikido, MMA, Wrestling, Bodybuilding, and even Calisthenics. It visually places Karate in a mentor or leader position, with all the other styles sitting and attentively listening, as if they are students or followers.

This doesn’t literally mean Karate is superior, but it's a playful way of showing respect or influence. It might reflect how Karate has historically influenced or coexisted with many other martial arts and fitness systems. Each style has its own strengths, so the image is more symbolic than factual.

Summary:
🥋 Karate is shown as a respected or guiding figure among various disciplines
💬 Message: Martial arts respect and learn from each other
🎯 Not literal hierarchy, but a tribute to Karate’s foundational influence in martial arts culture.

Wanna give a big shout out and Thanks to coach Nico Jacobs from Spartan wrestling club for coming out tonight to give us some standing control , throws and take downs from the Greco Roman wrestling world that we can use for our Jiu Jitsu. Was a great class and I know I got some moves that I am gonna try. Can’t wait for him to come back and give him some pay back information.

Congratulations to the Springbank students that went for black belts yesterday. Well done Simone and Reily on persevering the day and earning their black belts.
And to all that went as well congratulations

Congratulations to Kenna who did her exhibition fight on Friday night punch face event
Well done a good display of muay thai done by both ladies. With Shanelle and Myleigh in her corner was a great event. Super intro into what a ring fight can be like.

So my longest student and a friend that has supported us since the beginning earned and received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu jitsu today.
Hugh is an inspiration to us all to keep on the path and all will come with hard work and focus no matter what the challenge is. Adding to his karate and Muay Thai black levels he has hit the trifecta of belts getting his black belt white bar
After years of training with me and and great dedication to the martial arts it was a great pleasure to put this belt on him if front of Master Sylvio Behring and Professor Mike Yackulic
And to all the others that got belts and stripes congratulations great job.

Happy Birthday to my amazing husband ❤️
