Hey everyone! I'm a pretty busy guy, so I'm sorry for not posting much. I'll try and do better at that. We had a great year last year. I want to recognize McKinley and Zach for achieving their Blue belt and Spencer for his Orange belt. Job well done. I would like to congralute my Beginners kid's class for a great first year and look forward to seeing many of you back this year. For my upper ranking belts, I want to recognize Josh Johnson for achieving the rank of Brown belt and Craig Wearmouth for achieving the honorable Black belt. Your hard work definitely has paid off. And last but not least, Congralutions to Andrew Main and Craig Wearmouth for receiving the 'Spirit of the Dragon' award. This award is rarely given. These gentlemen have shown great dedication and loyalty to the art and I am honored to teach them.

Hello everyone! Its that time again!!! Kids sign up for Karate will be Sept.6th at 5:00 p.m. at the dojo.This year will be a little different. Last year we had a big turn out.

The first class will be from 4:30-5:30 (beginners class) white and yellow belts only. The second class will be students that have had two years plus or orange belt and up. The time for this class will be from 5:30-6:30. Again this all depends on class size on Sept. 6th enrollment. If you have any questions feel free to call or message. My phone # 641-417-9033. Looking forward to meeting new students as well as seeing returning students. Hope everyone had a great summer!!!!
