It’s Okay to Struggle

Struggle is not failure — it is often the beginning of growth.

When children work through something difficult with guidance and patience, t
hey build resilience, confidence, and perseverance.

Sometimes the most important lesson is learning that they can keep going even when something feels hard.

**A Message From Head Master Mark Grupposo**

Today marks the second anniversary of the passing of my teacher, mentor, and friend, Great Grandmaster Fred Villari. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him, talk to him, and seek his advice.

Occasionally, I even hear him yelling at me! 😊

His impact on my personal and professional life is immeasurable, and I believe many of you feel the same way.

While I deeply miss him, I am also grateful for all of you—the Board, Masters, Black Belts, and future Black Belts—who are dedicated to carrying the torch. Together, we continue to bring his system of Shaolin Kempo Karate to the world, preserve and grow his amazing legacy, and share his wit and wisdom.

Thank you, Great Grandmaster, and thank you all.
