Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break making memories with your families. As we step into 2026, many of us are looking forward, setting new goals, and deciding what our "next step" looks like.

I know firsthand that training in Martial Arts as a mom isn’t always easy. Life is busy and time is a luxury, but I’ve learned that with a little discipline and commitment, it truly can be done. Kyokushin has benefited me in so many ways, making me physically stronger than I have ever been, bringing lifelong friends into my life.

My goal for 2026 is to continue this journey and hopefully inspire other moms and women here in our community to start or continue theirs. Whether you want to gain confidence, get fit, or find a community that feels like family, there is a place for you on our mats. To all my karate ladies out there: Let’s rock 2026 with Kyokushin Karate!

Osu!

— Senpai Tash.
