Kata training on Monday, followed by application on Wednesday.

Kata contains so many ideas and concepts, it just takes a little bit of effort to find the techniques contained within.

While Karate kata on the surface is all striking, it is the subtleties of the stance work and movements that can create so many techniques. Wednesday night students discovered throws and joint locks out of kata.

If you've ever wanted to deep dive into a kata's potential, come check out classes at Empty Hands Martial Arts! We'd love to have you!

Since February, the dojo has seen quite a change from being a mechanic garage to a fully operational martial arts school. This could not have been possible without the support of all the students who attend each week who continue to grow in the martial arts.

Here at Empty Hands Martial Arts, we are a family of martial artists. There are no bad attitudes or egos, just a group of people who love martial arts and want to learn and train.

Our training focuses on self-defense for all ages, which includes striking, throwing, clinching, takedowns, and grappling. We are a Karate system, but many people do not realize that Karate involves so much more than just striking and kata.

Come in and join the martial arts family at Empty Hands Martial Arts; kids through adults can attend classes, ages 4 and up. Classes are every Monday and Wednesday, starting at 6:30.

We practice all aspects of fighting, including striking, throwing, takedowns and grappling from a mindset of self-defense and practicality.

One more promotion in the books! Last night, Reagan was promoted to High White Belt. She has been working hard improving her stances and her kicks. She has some of the best stances of the little kids class. Well done, Reagan; you're awesome!

The adult class and older youth class worked on wrist lock variations and principles. It was a lot of fun, and the students now have a deeper understanding of wrist lock mechanics and applications.

On top of having a great night of sparring Monday night, Lewie was promoted to High White Belt! Lewie has been training for a few months, and has rarely missed a class. He does something that I preach to all of my students when learning a new technique, focus on technique rather than speed and power. Lewie makes sure he is always using proper form when practicing his strikes and kicks. On top of that, he's an all around good kid!

Here are a few pictures from sparring as well. Monday was a great class!

Last night was a special night at the dojo. After a night of sparring, we had a promotion!

Kodi made his way from Blue Belt to Green Belt last night, something he has been working towards for a while.

I am very proud of all the effort this young man puts into his training, and I hope to one day tie a Shodan rank around his waist.

Keep up the amazing work, Kodi! šŸ„‹
