    What a great weekend for paintball! Saturday really did us a favor by holding off on the rain, giving us perfect conditions to play round after round all day long.

    A special thank you to our friends from Woodinville Martial Arts for coming out and sharing the field with us. They always bring great energy, plenty of laughs, and make every event even more enjoyable!

    Now it’s time to buckle down. Testing for our Teens and Children is only 3 weeks away, so we’ll be focusing hard on preparation and helping everyone put their best foot forward.

    And hey, ADULTS! We’ll be posting our Open Enrollment information tomorrow, and you won’t want to miss this opportunity.

    See you on the mats, and let’s get training!

    As we head into the weekend, we take a moment to remember and honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, as well as the first responders and everyday heroes who answered the call that day.

    In martial arts, we talk often about courage, service, and standing up for others. Today is a reminder that those values matter not only on the mat, but in our communities and our daily lives.

    We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
