Friday! Looks like we have a frigid day ahead of us and an even colder weekend! Is that snow in the forecast for Saturday? Wow, better make sure you have your warm winter clothes ready. Training will be hot tonight, however! Time to get that last bit of sweat in before we enjoy (or endure the cold of) the weekend.
Keep up the magnificent work everyone! Classes are bursting at the seams as everyone is getting their training time in! Fantastic!
Monday! It’s Presidents’ Day / week! We are OPEN for all classes. So, while kids might get some free time from school, martial arts training is in full effect. Let’s make some gains this week. Reminder, it’s not always leaps and bounds that make a difference, it’s those little steps that keep you moving forward! Let’s get training!
Friday. Reminder no classes tonight, so get an early jump on enjoying that weekend!
Next weeek is Presidents’ Day / Week. We are OPEN for all classes and days. We look forward to seeing everyone in training. Have a fantastic weeekend!
Thursday! Reminder no classes this Friday, so get that training in tonight before we have a break for the weekend. Next week is Presidents’ Day / Week; we are OPEN all days and classes next week! See everyone tonight!
Wednesday Feb. 15, 2023 – We are OPEN for classes.
We hope everyone had a fantastic Valentine’s Day! Now we need to work off any candy surprises we might have received – haha. The weather is chilly, but the training will be hot! Can’t wait to see everyone!
Tuesday 2-14-2023 – Closed for Classes because of bad weather.
As is our policy, when the Kent School district closes, we also close. Things might have been better by tonight, but with plunging temperatures expected and icy roads we’re maintaining our policy. Tomorrow looks to be a much nicer day and we’ll dive into training then. Stay safe and stay warm!
A lot is going on! As some of you saw, this last weekend the adults did fantastic at the Proving Grounds Submission Only Tournament. Keep an eye on https://www.youtube.com/@lionswaymartialarts for videos later this week.
This week we have classes as normal, except for Friday. No classes on Friday Feb. 17, 2023. If you normally come on Friday, please make up the classes as you can. This week, next week or whenever works best for your schedule. Sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for understanding.
Next week is Presidents’ Week, the week starting Monday Feb. 20th. We will be OPEN for all classes during Presidents’ Week. Class schedule as normal.
Now, with all the info dump out of the way, we can get back to training. We will award kids and teens that tested their new rank starting today and learning the new techniques that go with it. Adults will continue their awesome training and work some classic Judo throws and start an indepth look at leg locks. Training like champions each and every day, let’s get started!
Friday! Great week of training everyone. After those tough tests last week, it was nice to have a bit of fun with training. This weekend we have a few adults competing at the Proving Grounds Submission Grappling Tournament. Wish them the best when you see them. Starting next week, it’s back to work and sharping that steal. Have a fantastic week everyone and we’ll see you on Monday.
Wow, on Friday we had the first normal belt test of the new year. It was fantastic to see so many kids, and teens, push to take this test. Everyone did a superb job! We posted testing results in the school entryway.
On Saturday we had a children’s black belt test! So hearty young people stepped onto the mats and pushed themselves farther than they ever had before. We don’t have many of these tests, maybe one or two a year, if that. Seeing kids who have put years into training accomplish this goal is truly humbling. The results for this test will take a while, but they should be proud of the extraordinary effort they have put in! Spectacular!
How do we follow up that this week? The same way we always do—try to take over the world! Oh, wait, I mean get back to training! See you soon!
