A few days ago, I received my instructor jacket and certificate proving that I passed my instructor certification. I never could have accomplished any of it without support from my parents and mentors…

Many times I think the parents of the newer students look out at the floor and see the instructors and black belt kids and say, “Man, I wish my kid tried that hard and looked like that!”

From the increasingly young age at which girls are made to feel self-conscious about their bodies, to concerns about risks of assault, martial arts offers a solution to many of the problems young girls face.

You can take all the advanced classes and have the highest GPA in your class, but if you do not have the confidence to apply the knowledge and yourself, it will only get you so far.

I said: “My instructors are in AP classes and they are here a lot more than your daughter.” The mother looked at me with astonishment. “Oh, and several doctors and therapist in the area send us kids because they need help with academics. The lessons we teach here apply to school. Dummies don’t do martial arts!”

This year’s Halloween Costume Party was so much fun! Everyone, from our youngest 4 and 5 year olds to teens and adults, had a great time and enjoyed being together with their friends.

As a martial arts dad I was so excited 🤩my two young boys (7 and 6) had a chance to work with the world 🥇champion. They had so much fun! But there were 😭 many tears as well because they both wanted to be like him, but couldn't do the tricks and spins right away.

Summer has come to an end, and whether we like it or not, it's back to school time. It can be challenging for everyone to adjusts to new schedules, bedtimes, and transitions in the school system.
