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!

Things are heating up as we enter another testing phase for children and teens! Next test is 2-weeks out on Friday April 7! Last week to really refine those techniques and work yourself to the peak of perfection. Remember, not everyone is ready for every test, so if you still need work, keep going! You can always make the next one!

Adults will hit some new throws and be finishing up a month long look at leg locks this week. So many good things happening in all our classes!

Things have cooled down outside, but the training is still running hot! Friday is here and we’re going to ramp it up before the weekend. Hope your week was as good as ours and your weekend will be even better! Can’t wait for classes tonight! Have a great weekend!

Wednesday! Great week so far, keep up the fantastic work! Next test for teens and kids is two and a half weeks out! Remember, the harder you train on the mats, the easier the challenge when tested! Let’s get working!

Welcome to Monday and the first day of Spring! You might be a bit hard pressed to find it looking outside, however. Hopefully, you had a pleasant weekend and enjoyed a little sunshine and fresh air. We’re down to 3 weeks till the next belt test for kids and teens. Better get in and get training!
