This week after testing is rocking! So great to see everyone on the mats pushing hard even though the holidays are closing in. New faces too! Reminder, you don’t have to wait till the New Year to start achieving your goals. Every day is a holiday when you love what you do!
First Monday of December! Last week was our last test of 2022. The kids and teens were fantastic. It was such a terrific way to enter this last part of 2022. Testing results will be posted at the school. Congratulations to all!
Classes are back to normal this week. Looks like the freezing weather is sticking around, but nothing we can’t handle with some fiery training! Time to put some sweat down before the end of the year!
We are OPEN today (FRIDAY 12-2-2022) and testing is happening!

Thursday Dec. 1 – For the safety of our students, we normally follow the Kent School district’s recommendations for being open or closed. We will be CLOSED for classes today, Thursday Dec. 1.
Friday Testing! — We are still planning on having testing this Friday. Testing times for each belt level will be posted later this afternoon / early evening. Please check back then. If classes are canceled Friday due to weather, testing will be rescheduled and we will notify everyone next week. Thank you for your understanding.
Be safe and be warm!
Looks like the snow passed Kent by. So we are OPEN for classes tonight.
IMPORTANT! This also means that all testing applications are due TODAY! Testing is this Friday and we will not be accepting late application for the last test of the year. If you are not normally in class, please remember to drop off your testing application. Testing times for each belt level will be posted on Thursday.
A little weather drama won’t stop us from having a fantastic time as we head into December! So excited for the holidays!
Snow 11-29-2022 (Tuesday)! Currently, the plan is to be OPEN for classes tonight.
The snow has shifted, for the time being, to more rain and made driving conditions bearable. Please use your own judgement on your own situation. Classes can be made up and we don’t want anyone doing anything they feel is unsafe. There is a Winter Weather Advisory in effect, but it seems to target mostly areas outside of Kent. Tomorrow may be a different situation, however. Reminder that we tend to follow Kent School District on whether to stay open. Please check back then.
Special Note: Currently Testing is still scheduled for this Friday Dec. 2. This may change depending on what happens the next couple of days. Thanks for your understanding.
Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Now it’s time to get to work. This FRIDAY is the last test of the year for children and teens. Testing applications must be turned in Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. No late application will be accepted for this test. Thanks!
Testing Times for each belt level will be posted by Thursday afternoon. Please check back at that time for updates. This is a great way to kick off the last month of 2022, let’s rock it!
Happy Thanksgiving! From all of us here at Lion’s Way Martial Arts to our students, friends, family, and our surrounding community, we wish you the absolute best this holiday season! Thank you for making us a part of your lives! We wouldn’t be the same without the wonderful people who both train here and support all that we do!
Wednesday! Last day of classes this week. Not expecting a large group of people tonight, but if you can make it, we always love seeing you. For those getting ready for the holidays, Happy Thanksgiving! Reminder no classes Thursday and Friday this week. Also, next week is testing for Children and Teens! After that it’s a mad dash to the end of the year!
