So proud of our students today and grateful for this incredible Ohana. Not only did our students practice and train hard, but their supportive families stood by them (in the FREEEEEZING cold).

Happy holidays to you all. You should be proud of yourselves. And there is so much more to come!

Tomorrow is belt test day. Our students will show what they got, give it their all, and celebrate how much they have learned.

We have quite a few new students for whom this is their very first belt test. Excited to see them celebrate their accomplishments.

Drink water. Sleep well. And see you in the morning friends.

It's HERE!!

Delighted to welcome our newest student today. We love working with all ages and levels, but I’ll admit I have a sweet spot in my heart for adult beginners. My mission is to make martial arts accessible to anyone who wants to train and having first time adults walk through our doors is a great sign that we’re creating the right kind of environment.

New techniques take practice! (And then more practice). Sensei CJ brings an impressive combination of vast technical knowledge and patience as a co-chief instructor.

October updates from Mo’o Ryu Kempo Halau O Deleon:

Great first sparring class of the month. Looking forward to the next one in the end of the month.

Excited to welcome our newest white belt student who is off to a great start.

We are working on the women’s self defense curriculum for our 2026 workshop series. More info to come!!

Stay safe and train hard my friends!
