Karate moms, here’s the plan.
Women’s ONLY kickboxing workouts will begin in October❗️

Here’s what you need to know:

1. $10/karate moms $15/everyone else
2. 1st session—October 4th @ 3pm
3. Classes will be 45 minutes!

Classes will follow a “warm-up, workout, and stretch” flow. The workouts will include hitting the bags, working with partners, agility drills, etc.

My biggest goal is to make these classes fun and enjoyable. Because the best workout routine is the one you stick to!
Hope to see you there,
Matt

After a long workout and the kids are tired, sometimes it’s ok to pump the brakes.

…not this time, now it’s full throttle time!

If you do what you love, you’ll never work again!

So, YES! We are open today, come get some sparring in!

Ladies, I think I’ve landed on something.

1. We will have a weekly kickboxing fitness class —girls only!

2. Once a month (or as requested) a self-defense class AFTER

3. Let me know if mom-osas or a wine and stretch would be fun!

4. I prefer Saturday mornings for this type of activity, but my wife does wedding flowers—typically on Saturdays. So maybe Sundays after church? Friday mornings are also on the table.

Let me know!

Going through the belts is such a difficult process. But the little victories on the path to black belt is really the key to everything.

When you finally EARN your black belt, your life is changed. You know you’ve done something worthwhile.

Some schools—I won’t name names, lock students into contracts where they pay $4,500 (usually more) over 3 years and at the end get their black belt. And really, if you’re doing that, black belts are $15 on Amazon.

Nobody begins as a black belt with perfect technique, and 5 years of experience. We go from beginner to advanced. I don’t cater only to the athletes, I don’t dumb down the material, I refuse to hand out belts when a student isn’t ready, and I have produced black belts that I am proud of.

See you on the mats!

Grading papers tonight and I have to say. Teachers don’t get paid enough.

Bring your kids to afterschool so Mr. Matt can afford his home and taxes in this economy!

This kid is also excelling in art class!

Don’t forget to have big goals for your children!

Set little bitty goals between start and finish and they’ll fall in love with the process of improving…not just the final moment.

It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. When they fail, give them grace. When they succeed, remind them how it was because of their effort and practice. And all along the way, keep it FUN!

Perfection is a practice. Make sure it’s a DAILY practice.

Indoor activities on a hot 🥵 HOT 🥵 HOT🥵 day are just what we needed.

In karate we worked on how to tie our belts—running, kicking, and punching was a little hard on the little ones 🐉
