Our classes will run as usual on MLK Day. We believe honoring Dr. King includes showing up for each other, learning, and building strong, confident communities—values we practice in every class.
Friday, are you having a great time this year? We are! So many new faces and so much energy on the mats. Have a great weekend, everyone—and maybe next week, if you haven’t already, you too can join us at Lion’s Way Martial Arts!
Note: We are OPEN Monday on Martin Luther King Day Jr Day!

Are we halfway through January already? Not quite—but the new year isn’t waiting for you to get moving. Children and teens are already gearing up for the first test of 2026, and February 6th will be here before you know it.
Adults looking to start training this year, you’re up next. February is our next Open Enrollment period for the adult class. While the kids’ and teens’ classes are open year‑round, our adult program only accepts new students in February, June, and October. Registration opens later this week, January 15th, so now is the perfect time to plan ahead. For more detailed information, please email us at .
We hope everyone had a fabulous winter break and holiday season, and that these first days of the new year are starting off right.
We’re kicking things off with our normal schedule and a renewed passion for everything that makes martial arts great—kids, teens, and adults all coming together to achieve goals, support each other, and make the most of every day.
Join us if you can. It’s going to be a fantastic year!
Not trying for that exact‑at‑midnight timing this year, but wherever you’re celebrating and whoever you’re with, be safe, be happy, and may all your New Year wishes come true.
From all of us at Lion’s Way Martial Arts — welcome to 2026!

As we wrap up another year of training, growth, and community, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has stepped onto the mats with us, supported our students, or cheered from the sidelines.
Martial arts isn’t just about throws, holds, and discipline—it’s about building strength together, celebrating progress, and creating a community that uplifts one another. This holiday season, we’re reminded how lucky we are to share this journey with all of you.
From our martial arts family to yours: may your holidays be filled with joy, health, and connection. We can’t wait to see you back on the mats in the new year, ready for new challenges and victories!
Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to an inspiring 2026!
Hope everyone is staying safe and dry during the heavy rain.
Please remember to obey all closed road signs—standing water that looks calm can conceal dangerous depths or hidden currents. Safety comes first.
The school remains OPEN and unaffected by the weather. Classes will continue as scheduled through this week and into the first few days of next week, leading up to our winter break.
