☀️ SUNDAY MORNING THOUGHT FROM AZAD’S MARTIAL ARTS CENTER

Long after they forget a particular kick or technique, we hope they remember the lessons that helped shape who they became.

Confidence. Courage. Discipline. Compassion. Perseverance. Respect.

At Azad’s Martial Arts Center, martial arts has never been just about what children can do with their hands and feet. It’s about what they carry inside themselves when they walk out our doors and into the world.

Our job isn’t to remove every obstacle from a child’s path.

It’s to help them become strong enough to face it, especially when loving adults happen not to be around to help them. ❤️

For more than four decades, that has been one of the greatest privileges of what we do.

This Sunday, enjoy your family. Hug your kids. Celebrate the little victories. And remind them that becoming strong doesn’t happen in one big moment.

It happens one lesson, one challenge, and one “I CAN” at a time. 🥋❤️

Have a beautiful Sunday from all of us at Azad’s Martial Arts Center.🥋🥋🥋

📰 A LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP BUILT ON TRUST, TRAINING & SAFETY

It’s always a pleasure to welcome the incredible KHSL-TV Action News Now team for another round of personal safety training. 🎥📺

For years, their reporters, producers, and staff have had the unique opportunity to train personally and directly with Grandmaster Azad, drawing on his decades of experience in personal safety, martial arts, and hand-to-hand defensive tactics.

That direct relationship makes these trainings especially meaningful. Grandmaster Azad gets to know the team, understand the realities of their work, and personally guide their continued development.

These professionals often work in unpredictable environments while carrying out an important responsibility—keeping our community informed. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and commitment to preparedness are impressive.

We are proud that Azad’s Martial Arts Center serves as a trusted personal-safety consultant and training resource for Action News Now.

They look out for our community.
Grandmaster Azad is proud to personally help look out for them. ❤️🥋

Thank you, Action News Now, for your continued trust and for making personal safety a priority. 🥋🙏🥋🙏

🥋 13 YEARS OF TAI CHI—A LIFETIME OF LEADERSHIP

Today, we proudly celebrate Coach Richard “Dick” Trimmer’s 13th anniversary of practicing Tai Chi Chuan at Azad’s Martial Arts Center with Grandmaster Azad!

Long before joining our Tai Chi family, Coach Trimmer spent a decade as Chico State’s head football coach and was later inducted into the Chico State Athletic Hall of Fame for his contributions to generations of student-athletes.

But his greatest legacy extends far beyond victories and honors. It is found in the lives he has influenced, the character he demonstrates, and the kindness and generosity he shares with others.

Coach Trimmer is an absolute gem—an outstanding student of Tai Chi Chuan and a remarkable example of resilience, leadership, and lifelong growth. He continues to show all of us that true strength is not defined by age or circumstance, but by the courage to keep moving forward and inspiring others along the way.

We love having Coach Trimmer at Azad’s Martial Arts Center. His presence brings joy to our Dojang, and our children especially love seeing him and feeling his wonderful spirit.

Congratulations on 13 outstanding years, Coach! Your life, leadership, and generous heart continue to make our community—and our world—a better place. We love and appreciate you! ❤️🙏🥋

🥋❤️ SOMETIMES THE BIGGEST WINS DON’T COME WITH A TROPHY.

Twelve months ago, this little champion walked into Azad’s Martial Arts Center at just 4 years old.

Like most 4-year-olds, she had plenty of energy! 😊 But focus, listening, and paying attention to the little details? Those were skills still waiting to grow.

And grow they did.

Today, the difference is remarkable.

🥋 She listens with greater purpose.
🥋 Her focus and attention to detail have dramatically improved.
🥋 She follows directions with confidence.
🥋 And those skills are carrying beyond Azad’s—into her school and everyday life.

Look at her in this picture. ❤️
Focused. Present. Ready.

That’s the victory.

Because at Azad’s, we’re not simply teaching children how to kick and punch. Through Jongshindo Martial Arts, we’re helping them learn how to focus, persevere, believe in themselves, and become champions in life.

Today, this young lady isn’t just becoming a champion at Azad’s.

She’s becoming a champion at school, too. 🏆

Watching children grow like this is one of the greatest privileges of what we do.

We LOVE what we do, and we LOVE watching our kids discover what they’re capable of. ❤️🥋
