Summertime! — While Others Hit “Pause,” We Hit Our Stride. 🦁

Looking for a productive way to keep them active this summer? At Lion’s Way Martial Arts, we trade screen time for real-world confidence!

Summer is the perfect time for your child to find their “stride.” Our classes are high-energy, positive, and—most importantly—a ton of fun! We focus on bringing out the best in every student in an environment where everyone belongs.

What your child will find at Lion’s Way:

• New Friendships: Joining a supportive “pride” of teammates.
• Positive Energy: Classes that keep them moving and smiling.
• Big Achievements: Building confidence through every new skill they master.

Don’t just fill their schedule—fuel their potential.

🔥 Our kids and teens are on FIRE getting ready for next week’s test! 🔥

They’re training hard, pushing themselves, and showing the kind of grit that makes us proud every single day. Some will earn their next rank next week, some will level up at the following test — but every single one of them is putting in the work.

We couldn’t resist sharing a few of the awesome moments we’ve captured from our amazing students. Their focus, effort, and smiles say it all.

Onward to Friday, the weekend… and TESTING WEEK ahead!

April 1, 2026 — Happy April Fools’ Day! Don’t worry, we’re not trying to fool anyone. Our students, friends, and families are far too sharp for that.

What we are doing is giving you a quick reminder:

Kids & Teens Testing is next Friday, April 10! Plenty of time to train hard and finish strong.

And yes—because it always comes up—we are OPEN all next week, even as the Kent School District heads into Spring Break. Classes run on our normal schedule for Children, Teens, and Adults.

See you on the mats for a great week of training!

We’re two weeks out from testing! Friday, April 10, 2026, is the big day. Children and teens need 3-stripes on their belt to be eligible. Not everyone is ready for every test, and that’s completely fine. If this isn’t your cycle, that’s great—keep training hard and aim for the next one.

Testing applications will be sent home starting Monday, April 6. Please plan to turn them in on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday next week.

Putting that training in as testing draws near!
Our kids and teens are showing real dedication, hard work, and plenty of smiles along the way. Love seeing that focus and fun side‑by‑side.

Keep up the great work—you’re all crushing it!

Monday! I had a great post all lined up… and then Monday ate it.

So we’re rolling into a brand‑new week of training with one simple idea in mind: you are fabulous and we’re going to make this week count.

Let’s shake off the Monday chaos and get to work!

It’s Friday, and even with the wet weather things are heating up!
The next belt test for Children and Teens is just 3 weeks away, and the energy in the school is already building. Summer sunshine is creeping into the forecast, spirits are high, and training is rolling strong.

Thinking ahead to summer gear?
Now’s the perfect time to plan. Check out our online shop for training shorts and see what other goodies catch your eye. Gear up early and be ready to roll when the warm weather hits!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
Quick heads‑up for our Kids & Teens families:

Our next test—normally held on the first Friday of April—will be pushed back one week. That means Friday, April 10 is the official testing day.

That’s an extra week of practice, an extra week to sharpen skills, and an extra week of spectacular training. Make the most of it and train with purpose. Big gains ahead!

• Lion’s Way socks shown just for fun—yes, they’re real, and yes, they’re available in our online shop!

Hope everyone made it through our blast of winter snow safe and warm this weekend! It might still be cold outside, but inside the school the training is on fire.

This week is all about pushing limits, dialing up the intensity, and seeing just how far we can go. Stretch out, warm up, and let’s get after it!

❄️ CLOSED TODAY — Friday, March 13 ❄️

Between Friday the 13th, the snowfall, and even Kent School District canceling their teacher conferences, we’ve decided it’s best to keep everyone safe and cancel all classes tonight for every group.

Please stay home and warm if you can, and if you do need to head out, take it slow and drive safely.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Stay cozy and we’ll see you soon.
