As election season approaches, Lion’s Way Martial Arts would like to remind everyone that we remain non-political. Our mission is to teach life skills that embrace all perspectives and support the lifestyle you choose. We are not here to influence your beliefs, but to empower you with the tools to lead a fulfilling life.

In what may be an emotional and possibly chaotic time, it’s important to remember that we are all individuals with our own thoughts, ideals, and visions for the future. Let’s be kind to one another.

We strongly encourage everyone to exercise their right to vote. Voting is a fundamental liberty and a cornerstone of American democracy. This November, let us come together as friends, family, community members, and citizens to make our voices heard and inspire others to do the same.

The choices we make shape the future. This is your opportunity to contribute to the direction of your community and nation. Please vote, for while it may seem like a drop of water in the ocean. That drop can cause a ripple and that ripple can grow into a wave. That is how change happens for the betterment of all.

Respectfully,

Lion’s Way Martial Arts
