It’s the start of a new week! Time to get working!

Friday! What a fun week of training! Kids and teens got a little lighter week of training. celebrateing all the hard work they put into testing. Monday we get back to working our core curriculium. Always an exciting time when you get to start learning the requirements for a new belt!

Adults have not been slacking. We have some great new faces working throws and submissions. Some are starting to put the shine on their “A” game as we head into upcoming competitions.

Great job this week to everyone. Enjoy the weekend!

A little way back Wednesday for you. This time we step into our time machine to 4 years ago. His mom sent this to me to share. While he’s a quiet kid, he has always been hardworking and happy to be in class. Now he is in our advanced kids class working towards his children’s black belt. From a small guy to a true monster on the mats, it’s been great having him, and his family, as a part of everything we do here.

This is what makes every day so special for me at Lion’s Way. Thanks to Connor and his mom for the great trip down memory lane.

Welcome to a new week. Last Friday’s test was a fabulous display of heart and dedication. The teens and kids put everything into this test, and it really showed. Some say grit is lost on today’s youth, I say they’re not looking in the right place. Fantastic job everyone! Testing results are posted in the school entryway.

Full schedule this week for all classes, children, teens, and adults. Let’s get training!
