Hard to believe we’re already two weeks back into the fall routine! We’ve been kicking up a storm over here - building self control, self discipline, and re-engaging passion for the fundamentals.

We know fall transitions can feel hard - and often the second and third week of school catch families by surprise. The excitement of the first week has diminished and more resistance shows up going to school and coming home. This is normal. Just like adults, kids and teens have to reset into routine, and that can be challenging!

We’re here for you, wherever your child is at. They are not a burden or inconvenience to us if they need more transition time into the classroom. There is no judgment if they need to sit on the side and watch - even if previously they’ve jumped right in. It’s not the wrong activity for them, if they’re spinning in circles while their peers are able to stand still.

Martial arts is about building the student, from where they’re at, into Black Belt character and skill. That journey is different for every student. We’ve got them.

See you on the mats DMA!

Today our friends at Bloom Adult Day Program came for a visit to Intensive camp to learn from our incredible campers and instructors. We talked about how Martial Arts is for everyone, and all the strategies we can use to make that happen. Everyone worked hard, showed great determination, and skill sharing!

Thanks for the visit friends!

We ran, we built, we ran some more! This week campers wanted to savour being on the cusp of the end of summer, with lots of creative play and self-guided crafts and experiments. They picked fast action activities for warm ups, creative drills for skill sets, and asked for fitness for session ends. What more could we ask for?

Next week…back to our “big kids” and intensive camp!

Reminder - fall schedule begins September 8th! Back to regular classes then!

Week 7 really cemented to us how much a balance of structure and flexibility creates healthy and happy community! We had lots of returning campers this week who just knew the expectations and rocked at sweeping new campers into the flow, making it such a successful week for everyone!

We aim to be consistent in our schedule structure so campers know what to expect, but mix up each activity within the framework so there’s always new learning and engagement both for campers and staff! We love watching every activity have 100% engagement in 100 different ways.

That’s 7 weeks behind us….what will the next 3 bring?

We hear you - September is looming and the mid summer feelings are real! We’re not rushing summer but we’re setting things to look forward to - and that of course has to include kid’s night out! Drop the kids off for games, free play, inflatables, crafts, pizza, movie and more!

Halloween kid’s night out brings out our best creativity - show us your costumes or tell us all about them!

Adaptive programming is for students with disabilities who thrive in high support- 1:2/1:3 scenarios and adapted/modified programming to ensure they have the best time!
