Good news / bad news day!

Good News: Sunshine and warm weather are on tap for the next couple of weeks! Spring is finally hitting. Reminder that if temperatures get to the high 70s and into the 80s, we have and will use air conditioning at the school. Please drink that water and enjoy!

Bad News: Sunday into Monday (the 14th and 15th of May) forecast is currently calling for 90 degree weather! Please be aware that if temperatures are going to exceed 90 degrees that we will cancel classes for that day. Even with air conditioning running, the temp inside the school will rise to levels that make it unsafe to train. Please check our website, or social media pages, each day before coming to school for updates. We will make a final decision by 1 pm in such cases, to give as much notice as possible. You can make up all missed classes. We value your health first!

Stay cool and we’ll see you soon!

Monday! The best way to make a week go right is to start it right! Taining will be on fire this week! Hope everyone had a great weekend, now lets kick this week off right. See you soon!

Welcome to May Day! Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend! It was so nice to get outside and feel the sunshine. Now it’s time to get back to work. Let’s take that weekend energy and carry through this whole week! Can’t wait to see you training!

Friday! Looks like we’re going to have a beautiful weekend! We’ll try to match that tonight with some beautiful training!

Thought I’d take a moment and share our class helpers with you. Class helpers are not instructors, but are official staff here at Lion’s Way Martial Arts. Like any job, they receive training and have duties to perform. Thier first responsibility, obviously, is to help with classes. In the kids’ class, they will sometimes run warm-ups or work with new students one-on-one. They also help watch kids when class is over, making sure each student gets home with the correct parents / guardian. They can answer basic questions when the instructor is busy and, most importantly, they help keep the school clean!

In the middle, we have our longest running helper, Ms. Aria. To the left is Ms. Komal and to the right is our newest helper, Mr. David. A great group of teens that we are proud to have representing our school! Give them a shout out when you see them. They love the attention!

Have a fantastic weekend!

It’s Great to be Wednesday!

Amazing how much work we have put in and we still have days to go. Keep those energy levels high as we race for the weekend! The students from every class are rocking this week! Great job Lion’s Way!

Welcome to another great week in Kent, WA! Looks like the weather will finally break our way this week with sunshine and warm temperatures! Kids are 2 months away from summer break and you can feel their excitement in the air! Our martial arts classes are booming with all the energy! Kids, teens and adults are ALL putting the work in! Outstanding!

Come join the excitement at Lion’s Way Martial Arts!

Second half of the month looks to be same as the first. That means bad weather, but exciting training! Training at Lion’s Way makes these long, dark, rainy days easier to deal with. Let’s have some fun this week and train hard!

Spring break and we are OPEN for classes! I thought it would be slow this week, but seems like people are using the time to get extra training in! Fantastic!

What a great Monday! Sure, it’s raining outside, and it’s a bit cold, but that can’t get our spirits down. Last Friday, we had a spectacular test for children and teens! Can’t say enough about how impressive they are! We posted testing results at the school. Congratulations to all!

Much of the Kent School District is on Spring Break this week. We are OPEN for all classes. Normal class times. So, if you haven’t taken off for some tropical destination, then we hope to see you in.

Time to have some fun!
