Huge Congratulations to Master Wilde for what was probably the hardest day of her life!

Her hard work and dedication to the class has lead her to this epic stage in life.

We are extremely proud to call her a Master of the Eight Directions!!!

Kyle was pushed to his limits and beyond. He showed his ability to persevere through more than he thought he was capable of. We congratulate him on his hard work!



Keep up the good work, Kyle!

March 2012 held one of the most difficult events in the lives of 3 of our students!
Massive congratulations go out to them!

You can view a few pictures of the event here.


Awesome job, guys!

Heyya, folks!

Back in September we had a new student orientation. One of our parents was cool enough to film the whole thing.

Here's some highlights:

Hello again!

In an attempt to keep new students together with other new students and thus maximize our ability to teach, we're introducing our quarterly New Student Orientation!

This is an event where people wishing to join can see what the class is about and our students can display the skills they've obtained in our class!

The calendar has been updated with what days and times these events will occur, for further information feel free to contact us!

Hi, all!
It had been brought to my attention that I had events in the Calendar that were well over a year old. I've gone through and made sure all the events older than September of this year have been removed and it should be a lot easier to find dates for this year.

Also, if you don't know, Mr. Jones has a YouTube Channel. On there is some martial arts videos which strike his interest as well as videos we've done in our black belt clinics.

Apologies for doing this last minute.

The list of Saturday classes on the site has been updated through February. Should any changes occur to this schedule, I'll post again and change the date.

July 2010 Saturday class change

Currently the website says our usual Saturday class is set for the 3rd. THIS IS NO LONGER SO.
Currently it has been rescheduled for July 17. This is also still subject to change. Please keep an eye on this site, or feel free to see us in class about this schedule.

It's been almost a year since i've last posted a news story...

Don't mean to make you folks think we're doing poorly. Actually it's quite the contrary!

To the two biggest things I've accidentally neglected to mention:
Congrats to Mr. Loden and Mr. Rardin on their promotions to Black Belt!
Mr. Jones will be having his knee surgery soon. Best Wishes!

We're so busy practicing that we forget to keep current pictures some times!

Here are some pictures taken recently this year!

Great job to all who tested this previous Saturday!

Please keep an eye on the Calendar for future Saturday Classes!

February is a test month!

February 14th is our official Saturday Class for the month. This will double as a class and a test, so all are welcome!

Please be advised:
We will NOT have class Thursday, Dec 25th 2008
We WILL have class Tuesday, Dec 30th 2008
We will NOT have class Thursday, Jan 1st 2009.

In the mean while happy holidays!

I've been taking some of my off time and putting it into this new website.

The big things for you guys to look out for are:

• New design
• New Events system
• Students Only section integrated
  
  If anyone has any problems be sure to get a hold of me in class!
