2nd Reminder about our Black Belt Club Meeting this Friday at the Manchester Dojo
For those that have already talked to me & told me whether or not you can make it or not you are all set
For those of you who havent either made ANY meetings or have missed the last couple, I strongly encourage you to attend please
These monthly meetings are soooo much more important than you know if you havent made any yet. The Black Belt Club was NEVER designed just for the advancement of Rank. Its about empowering our youth & helping them find their own Personal Power so that we can mold them into the type of future leaders that will go out into the world & reshape it for the better for their generation
So, again. This Friday 8/28/2026
Manchester Dojo
280 Airport Road Building #5
Manchester Center, VT 05255
4:30pm-6:00pm
See you all there

I know I keep blasting our Socials with these kinds of posts & many of you dont even take the time to read the posts or look at the image I put up
But I need you to know something
Every word is from my heart
I love all my students like they are my brothers & sisters, aunts & uncles, sons & daughters
There is literally no depths I wont go to if it meant helping you become your best
A lot of you are upset that I had to leave to take over as the Lead Instructor for the entire Dojo & I am now running both Dojos & unfortunately have not been able to come down to Manchester as often as you would like
I have big plans for this Dojo, for all the students, there are going to be a lot of changes, all for the better. I ask that you trust me, trust the Instructors, & know that we only have your best interest at heart & are only trying to improve the quality of the Dojo for everyone
I promise that you will not regret it
Remember
I love you all
You are more than Disciples
You are my family. You are my life

Because well, why not? Who hasn't wanted to be a comic book hero or a superhero from their favorite cartoon or anime?
