Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were finally informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth honours the resilience, strength, and enduring contributions of Black communities, while also reminding us of the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice.

While Juneteenth is an American observance, its message extends beyond borders. At SWC, we believe that building a stronger community means embracing diversity, fostering inclusion, and working together to challenge discrimination in all its forms. Today, we encourage everyone to take time to learn, reflect, and continue conversations that help create a more equitable future for all.

What a fantastic Spring Session! 👏

A huge congratulations to our adult students, Jurnee and Cassy, on earning their recent promotions! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to growth have truly paid off. We are so proud of everything you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see what you achieve next. 🥋🐦‍🔥

Summer isn’t an excuse, it’s an opportunity! ☀️🌊

Just because there are no classes doesn’t mean training stops. This is your chance to prove who’s truly staying committed to the curriculum while others take a break.

We want to help you stay accountable! Send us updates on how often you’re training and how long your sessions are; we’ll be tracking consistency all summer long. Leaderboards will be posted at the end of July and August to recognize our most dedicated students.

Stay disciplined, stay consistent, and come back in the fall stronger than ever! 🔥

Consistency over intensity this summer!☀️🌊

You don’t need long, intense sessions to maintain your progress; just consistent, focused practice. Small daily effort is what keeps your techniques sharp and your confidence strong while classes are on break.

Take your training outside and make it part of your summer routine! 🌿🏖️Whether it’s your backyard, a local park, or the beach, aim for at least 15 minutes of practice every day to stay connected to your skills and curriculum.

To support skill retention over the summer, we recommend the following:
Beginner students: 1+ hour per week
Intermediate students: 2+ hours per week
Advanced students: 3+ hours per week

Stay consistent, stay disciplined, and keep building on what you’ve already learned! 🐦‍🔥
