We’re past the mid-month point, and this one is quickly coming to an end. It’s a full week of training now, and then next week brings Thanksgiving.

⭐ There will be no classes on Thursday and Friday NEXT WEEK for Thanksgiving.⭐

December 5 will be the last belt test of the year, scheduled for the week after Thanksgiving. So many great things are coming together at once.

Let’s get training!

It’s Friday and hard to believe Thanksgiving is just two weeks away.

Enjoy the weekend. Next week we begin the final stretch to the holiday, and the week after brings the last belt test of the year. 2025 is racing to the finish.

Happy weekend!

Monday!

This week we honor our veterans—and yes, we’re OPEN for all classes on our regular schedule.

There’s no better tribute than showing up with focus, strength, and gratitude. Let’s train in their honor.

Thank you to all who’ve served.

Gratitude and Good Wishes from Lion’s Way Martial Arts

As November unfolds, we at Lion’s Way Martial Arts want to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation to our students, families, friends, and the entire Kent community.

This season invites reflection, connection, and gratitude. We’re especially thankful for the energy, dedication, and support you bring to our martial arts community. Whether you’re preparing for Thanksgiving, gearing up for winter festivities, or simply enjoying the changing season, we hope it brings you peace, joy, and togetherness.

From all of us at Lion’s Way Martial Arts, thank you for being part of our journey. Wishing you a warm and wonderful holiday season ahead!

Wednesday!
Quick note for those waiting on individual Halloween pictures: I’m working on uploading them to a Facebook album. My internet connection has been struggling with the volume of files, so I’ll be doing a slower upload when I have time. I’ll post links once everything is up and ready.

If you’re not on Facebook and would like a picture of your child or family, feel free to email me. Please be patient as I keep up with requests!

Thanks, all! Now back to more great training!

Hope everyone had a great end of October, with Halloween parties and activities. We hope you enjoyed your extra hour of sleep as the time change kicked in.

Looking ahead, November brings the holiday season. We will be closed for Thanksgiving weekend, Thursday and Friday. The weekend after Thanksgiving will be our last test of the year. It’s wild to think about that now, but the end of the year always sneaks up fast.

Time may have shifted, but we’re back to work. Classes are on their normal schedule this week. Let’s kick it.

🎃 Happy Halloween! 👻

We had an absolutely fantastic time at our Halloween party yesterday—thank you to everyone who joined us and brought such great energy on a Thursday evening! Your costumes, smiles, and spirit made it a night to remember.

📸 The photo is just a sneak peek of some of our amazing participants! We’ll be uploading the full album of individual pictures to Facebook later this weekend—stay tuned!
