First day back in class and it's brought back my craving for A&W!! So weird.

But our first day back for the new 2026/27 season was terrific! Lots of fun with the Lil Tigers, Juniors trying to remember something from before the summer, and then the adults who just keep plugging away (they are terrific!).

Here's to another great season!

Well, following on the heels of our black belt test a few days ago, I discovered that....

There are only 6 dedicated schools in Calgary that solely teach Hapkido.

Only 3 that are a multi-style school with Hapkido being at the forefront.

We are one of those three.

With there being hundreds and hundreds of martial art schools in the Calgary area, schools that teach the skill of Hapkido is a very, VERY small niche. This makes our students even more extraordinary with what they end up learning.

So proud to be in business now for 31 years with an instructor that has been training in Hapkido for over 50 years. That's a lot of knowledge!

IT IS DONE!

We now have our JR Black Belts in the house!

3 hour test consisting of......
5 different abdomen breathing techniques
7 patterns
7 Bo patterns
3 competition bo patterns
22 different rolls
52 PK's (punch/kick sequences for those who don't know)
16 different kicks
10 bag kicks
sparring
grappling
55 techniques / self defense moves
25 Hanbo techniques
and always a little bit of 'extras' Inst Rob style

They were fantastic. Just watching them made my adrenaline pump. The most amazing, well rounded, incredibly skilled martial art students. They should not only feel exhausted today, but incredibly proud of themselves. They earned it!!

Congratulations Mason & Tim! We are so very, very proud of you both.

Upcoming JR Black Belt test!!!

So excited for the upcoming test for these two students (photo taken from a few years ago). Haven't seen this level of dedication in a long time. They have been coming in for extra prep classes, working diligently during their regular classes, and really just staying the course. Very dedicated, both of them, and it shows in how extraordinary they do in all of their skills.

It's not an easy test. It will be a few hours long, covering so many things that I couldn't begin to list them here. Once they achieve their Junior black belt, they will walk out knowing more skills than most of our adults.

Best of luck to them both! They are going to kill it.

Happy Birthday to my man, Inst Rob! Photo from a few years ago because it seems since the kids have left home, I don't do much 'photo taking'. It's all about our dog now. And the ones I DO have of Inst Rob.....lets just say they make awesome blackmail pictures.

Happy, happy birthday! 💖

Always loved and greatly appreciated when some of our students would bring us treats. Especially me.

Ok seriously. I saw this and couldn't resist not posting it. I think it applies to almost any age but honestly, it's not just about martial arts. It's the most engaging, interesting and fun way to exercise.
