Gup testing is coming up next week Thursday! If you or your student hasn’t received their testing stripe make sure they come to class this week to work on anything they are missing.

Also please note we have a slight change in the test schedule on August 13th. The new testing schedule will be as follows:
- Little Ninjas: 5:30 to 6 pm
- Beginner Belts: 6 to 6:30 pm
- Intermediate Belts: 6:30 to 7:15 pm

Know someone who is headed off to college? Interested in those self-defense videos online but would like to actually try it for yourself? Come learn from a third degree Black Belt in our self-defense class this Saturday on the right and wrong ways to protect yourself, including some tricks and tips regarding the popular self defense tools on the market these days, but more importantly practice the moves that will get you out of the most common problems.

Cost is $20 per person or $15 if you bring a friend (use promo code FRIEND). Sign up closes end of day Friday so register now at www.pksaeastlansing.com to save your seat!

Reminder: classes tonight and tomorrow (Wednesday and Thursday) are at PKSA St Johns!

While we are used to it running a bit warm during the summer, this week has been a bit too hot even for us! Thankfully our friends at PKSA Karate-St. Johns have graciously offered to let our students visit their classes during this heat wave so you can still practice those flying kicks without feeling like you’re learning the newest martial art: Heat-Fu. 🥵👊🔥

If you have questions about St Johns’s class schedule please see the email we sent earlier this week or message us and we can get you the info.

Congratulations to all of our Little Ninjas and Gups who earned promotions last night! We celebrated so many new stripes and colored belts, and we couldn't be prouder of all the hard work and dedication our students have shown.

A huge thank you to all of the families who came out to support and celebrate with us. We are so grateful for the incredible community we've built together! Between the promotions, the delicious food, and all the fun, it was a wonderful evening.

If you took photos during the event and would like to share them, we'd love to see them! Please post them in the comments below.
