Happy Friday! Today’s looking cool, with a fabulous weekend ahead. We’ll kick off next week with some heat, so the air conditioning will be on. Just a reminder—next Friday is July 4th, so no classes. It’ll be a short week, but packed with some mighty training. Enjoy the weekend!

The final week of June is here! School’s out, the sun’s shining, and we’re keeping the energy high. Lion’s Way Martial Arts is geared up for a summer packed with action, focus, and fun. Come train with us and make it a season to remember!

Welcome to Friday!

I’ve been working on updating our student pictures this week. Still lots to do, but here’s a small sample of some of our fantastic students. I’ll be aiming to finish the rest next week.

Hope you have a great weekend ahead!

Juneteenth. We are OPEN for all classes today.

We honor those that fought for freedom by training for a better future.

Halfway through June, and things couldn’t be looking better!

Belts are in, and it’s time to celebrate progress—children and teens will be receiving their new ranks starting today.

We’re open all week, and with Juneteenth coming up this Thursday, we’re honoring the day in the best way we know how—by pushing ourselves to be better! Let’s keep the momentum going.

See you on the mats!

Friday the 13th! We’re back at it today, because we are not, as Batman would say, a “cowardly and superstitious lot.” Classes are running as usual, and next week is full on training!

Belts should arrive by Monday, so we’ll start handing them out in class.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Reminder no classes this Thursday!

Graduation season is here, and our head coach & staff have important celebrations to attend.
We’ll be closed this Thursday
—but don’t worry, you can make up classes earlier this week or even later this summer!

Three BIG things to kick off this Monday!

✨ #1 – Fabulous testing results! Despite a few challenges, our kids and teens pushed through and made Friday a huge success. Results are posted in the entryway—congrats to everyone who tested!

🚨 #2 – NO CLASS THIS THURSDAY! Graduation season is here, and our head coach & staff have important celebrations to attend. We’ll be closed this Thursday—but don’t worry, you can make up classes earlier this week or even later this summer!

🥋#3 – Adults time is ticking away! Our Open enrollment comes to a close next week on June 20th! While our children and teens classes are open year round for new students, our adult class is a private training group. We only accept new students in February, June and October. So now is the time! Classes started on June 2nd and will run until June 20th. Pre-registration is required before starting and once closed, you’ll have to wait till October to try again!

Once a test has started, late students will not be allowed to enter. With so many participants, punctuality is crucial to keeping everything running smoothly. We appreciate your patience as we work through the requirements. While we strive to make the process efficient, the sheer number of testers often leads to late nights, especially for teens.

Children (Test according to their current rank / belt color)
White, Sr. White Belts, Yellow and Sr. Yellow belts — 5 pm
Orange and Sr. Orange Belts — 5:25 pm
Sr. Green, Blue, and Sr. Blue – 5:55 pm

Teenagers
If possible, teenagers should arrive at 5:00 PM to assist with the children’s test. If that’s not feasible, please arrive no later than 6:30 PM. The teenagers’ test will begin immediately after the children’s test concludes.

Once again, teens must be present no later than 6:30 PM. All teens are expected to attend the test, whether they are participating or not. Please support your teammates and plan to stay for the entire duration of the test.

Thank you all for your dedication and support!
