PART II.

December 14, 2025 | Karate Club Puerto

The Karate Club celebrated its Christmas Party, a joyful gathering that showcased the talents of our members beyond our skills. From dancing and singing to engaging games and shared memorable moments while jamming together, the event highlighted the camaraderie, unity, and shared joy that define our club, making it a truly memorable occasion for everyone. 🎄

As this year ends, we take a moment to appreciate each member who gave their time, energy, and enthusiasm, your presence made this celebration truly memorable. The laughter, teamwork, and bonds we shared remind us that we are more than a club. We are a family, united by discipline, passion, and mutual respect. 🫂

We also extend our sincere gratitude to Sensei Luremir Flores for the guidance, support, and inspiration that continue to shape our club, and to our Branch Admin of Puerto Campus, Ma'am Angela Grace Labajo for her trust and support in allowing us to organize and successfully carry out this event. ❤️

Looking ahead to next year, let us continue our journey together, growing stronger in skill, spirit, and camaraderie, and embracing every challenge with courage and unity. ✨️

The JKA Karate Club - PHINMA COC Puerto Campus showcased their first performance at the Bugo Gymnasium in accordance with Panagtigi 2025. Although they're not on the same level or strand, they stand united, disciplined, and with one spirit. What’s even more inspiring? They’re all white belts, yet they delivered a powerful and synchronized performance.

Happy Teacher’s Day to our truly inspiring Sensei, Luremier Flores. Your wisdom, discipline, and passion not only make us better in the dojo, but also in life. Thank you for being a great mentor!
