Strong Kids Martial Arts Astoria

After graduation, we decided to watch the New York Knicks game and unexpectedly ran into some of our students and their families at the beer garden! So fun seeing our families together, laughing and having a great time outside the studio. Community is what we love most ❤️❤️

Another beautiful graduation day in the books! Congratulations to all our students who leveled up. NEVER STOP FIGHTING!

nerf parties for the win!

Last night we said see ya later to Mr. Dan! He recently moved to the suburbs and the commute hasn’t been the easiest, BUT you’ll still see him around at our black belt tests or even at pokémon card shows! Thank you, Mr. Dan! We’ll miss ya!

Kicking off winter break with an epic Nerf battle!

Graduation days are the best. They’re a reminder that progress is earned, growth is intentional, and every step forward matters. We celebrate how far we’ve come — and we keep pushing toward the next level. NEVER STOP FIGHTING!

This is who we are and where we stand. Queens means community. Always.

We love our STRONG families!

A very special congratulations to these six students!

They endured and persevered through some truly tough physical challenges—1,000 jumping jacks, 25 minutes of jump rope with only six spots, 100–300 burpees, 5-minute planks, knuckle push-ups, just to name a few.

They showed up consistently, practiced countless forms and board-breaking techniques (and even board holding—sorry to your fingers 🤪), and pushed themselves through three intense Black Belt Bootcamps.

All of that hard work was on full display during their black belt test. Witnessing how much they’ve grown—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally—at such young ages was truly profound.

We couldn’t be more proud. 🖤🥋

And just like that, another black belt test is in the books. We are incredibly proud of all of our students’ performances. They displayed not only amazing technique through forms, board breaking, and paddles, but also true perseverance and hard work. Congratulations black belts 🖤 NEVER STOP FIGHTING!
