On Saturday, my instructor and I had the opportunity to workout with some great Kenpo practitioners, including Grandmaster Larry Tatum (the highest ranked black belt in the art of Kenpo Karate).
Every time I get the chance to do something like this, I'm reminded of why I still love the martial arts. So many kind people from all walks of life and all over the globe (California, Massachusetts, Maryland, even as far as England and Chile), coming together because of a common bond.
What an awesome day!

Fight Camp Week in the books!

There were some serious bumps, bruises, ouchies, and tears, but the road to success ain't paved in gold!
These kids came in expecting a tough week and got even more than that. And they came back day in and day out with a smile on their face, ready to work. Because that's what warriors do, step up to challenges!
Thank you to Miss Corey for helping every step of the way. And special thank you to my friend and martial arts brother Mr. TJ Herbert for showing this gang a seriously fun jiu-jitsu time!
Very proud of all of you!

This happened by accident today...
🤣🤣🤣

This is Syd. AKA Muscles, Killer, or Bad@$$!

Syd is going into her senior year and is busy. Softball, marching band, work, karate... She is BUSY! She still takes the time to come in and kill it every week. No excuses!
Today she tested for her 1st degree black belt and crushed it, as expected! She is an example of what people are capable of when they work hard.
Thank you to our karate family that volunteered to be Syd's punching dummy today. Appreciate it!
Congrats, kiddo (and happy birthday)!
So very proud of you!

This is Noah. I have known him since he was 8. He's been training ever since. He graduated from Holy Ghost Prep this weekend. Off to Duquesne in the fall.
Over the weekend, his mother had a luncheon for the most influential people in his life. I was honored that she thinks so highly of us. It was a privilege to meet the other people that helped shape Noah's mind and spirit.
Noah will be on to bigger and better things in the future. I can't be more proud to call him a student and friend.

Enjoy the sun, Sand, and pool today.

Also, don't forget why we get to enjoy it...

We are thoroughly enjoying our week off.
Thank you for the well wishes.
Miss you all!

This is Matt.
Matt shattered his shin in class back in February.
Today Matt walked into the school with his doctors note saying he is cleared for contact.
Matt's got guts. Well done kid!

We will be canceling our ninja & sparring classes today because of ice.

Stay safe & enjoy your weekend!
