They’re available on the desk if you’re interested in picking up one or two for your karate or jujutsu gi!

They attach with velcro, so you can also easily put them on your bag, hoodie, jacket, or just about anything else!

🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟

Our Student of the Week is Jonah!!

Jonah is one of our newer students, but he’s already earned an achievement stripe on his belt for rolling. He’s catching on so quickly!

Jonah says his favorite part of training is getting to see his friends at class!

Outside of class, Jonah loves playing soccer ⚽ and one of his favorite games is Roblox!

We’re proud of you Jonah!

Are you looking for a way to get your kids off a screen and into a healthy community and physical activity?

Kids ages 8–12 spend an average of 5.5 hours a day looking at a screen, and that number only increases as they get older, with teenagers averaging around 8.5 hours a day.

Karate and Jujitsu are both great ways to encourage in-person interaction, physical activity, and personal growth. Students stay active while learning valuable self-defense skills and developing respect, discipline, and consistency. 🥋

Give your child the opportunity to learn, grow, make friends, and build confidence outside of a screen, where social media tears it down!

Our adult jujutsu class has been growing, and we’d love to see you there!

We’re lucky to have such a supportive and encouraging group of people who are always willing to welcome new members and help each other grow.

Thank you to everyone who makes our gym what it is. Without you, we’d just be walls and mats! 🥋
