Why kids who do combat sports at a young age are better prepared for life

Good article outlining the benefits gained from combat sports, stressing the importance of consistency in training and how it develops muscle memory which is needed to effectively defend oneself in a real life situation. Necessary life skills such as self-reliance, discipline, and perseverance are all acquired over time and will carryover into adult lives.

kulturehub.com The lessons children learn in combat sports will stay with them for a lifetime.

We would like to wish all of our students, families and friends a Happy New Year!! We are grateful for the loyalty and support that everyone continues to show, as well as the new faces that the past year has given to us. And with the good times throughout the last 12 months that have brought a lot of laughter and many reasons to celebrate, 2019 also delivered a huge loss with the passing of our good friend and long time student Steve Hoff, whose spirit remains, attached to the echo of his belly laugh and the countless memories he created for which we hold onto.
Looking ahead, 2020 will take us to year 17 of officially opening our own doors in Carroll County. May the new year bring good health and happiness to each of you and your family members. Cheers to another successful year!! 🎉 See everyone tomorrow!!

Happy Birthday, Mike Guercio, Mr. Mike, Papa G, Dad, coach, sensei, old man....To our head instructor, mentor and friend with a lot of names, HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!!!

Truly remarkable. His presence is missed.

baltimoresun.com On Nov. 12, the Maryland sports scene, Carroll County and the greater Westminster community suffered a great loss with the death of my childhood friend and neighbor, Steve Hoff, 62, of Westminster and Patapsco.

fletcherfuneralhome.net Obituary for Steve Hoff | Wilfred Stevenson “Steve” Hoff, Jr., 62, of Seven Valleys, PA, formerly of Finksburg, died Tuesday, November 12, 2019 at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Born November 7, 1957 in Gettysburg, PA, he was the son of Wilfred S. Hoff, Sr. and the late Annie Hughe....

Yesterday, we lost our very good friend and an active member of our school, Steve Hoff. Steve began taking classes with us after his son, the younger Steve, introduced him to Kenpo. He became very passionate about studying and practicing, earning his second degree brown belt in the years that he shared with us. This is only one of many, many accomplishments that he worked so hard for in his lifetime. Steve not only enjoyed working out with his fellow students and instructors, he also stepped in at times to help out with our kids’ program, sharing his vast wrestling knowledge and expertise. There was never a question as to whether Steve was in the building as you could always hear his boisterous laugh echoing down the hall. So as we prepare to say goodbye, our hearts are heavy. He will be missed without question and always remembered as a one of a kind individual. Rest easy, dear friend.

We will be sharing Steve’s obituary soon for those interested in attending the upcoming memorial services and learning a little more about his life.

[11/11/19]   Reminder: the added Monday kid’s Kenpo class from 6:30-7:30 begins tonight immediately following the Tigers & Dragons class

Hands down, the cutest picture from today's tournament. Sometimes you have to compete against your teammate. Even the ref was smiling through this match!

Great job across the board to all of our competitors today at the Good Fight Thanksgiving Throwdown submission only tournament -- a first for a couple and new divisions for others. Overall our team placed 8th out of 22. Nice job everyone!! Love seeing the support that our families show one another!!
