    What a great week of training!

    Our kids and teens came out of testing fired up and ready to go! They’re working hard, having fun, and proving every day why they’re such an amazing group to train with. The energy on the mats has been incredible!

    The adults aren’t slowing down either. This Open Enrollment brought in an almost full group, and they’re charging forward at breakneck speeds (figuratively, of course!). The progress we’ve seen in just a short time has been outstanding.

    If you missed this Adult class enrollment period, we’re sorry to say registration is now closed. But don’t worry, the next Open Enrollment kicks off in February 2027, and it’ll be here before you know it!

    Until then, let’s finish 2026 strong, keep pushing forward, and keep rocking the mats all year long!
