Thank you everyone and happy holidays!

I wanted to take the time to say thank you for the outpouring of cards, gifts and well wishes! You all are far too generous. I also wanted to thank those of you that made it to our Holiday party this year, the kids had a blast, as always! It is always so wonderful to see the kids running and laughing and enjoying time together. Thank you to all my awesome instructors and assistants for all that you do, both on the mat and off! It is an incredibly proud part of my life to watch you all learn and grow.

It was great having Grandmaster Rich Fescina back in the Dojo again, I am glad he could find the time to drop in and visit. (Rumor has it he will be coming in to teach a class or two in the future!)

2016 has been a good year, and I feel blessed that you all are a part of our Kempo family. I wish everyone the happiest holiday season, and all the best for 2017! I can’t wait to see you all on the mat next week!

Congratulations to all students who passed their June exam

Everyone did a fantastic job yesterday, I see improvement in many aspects of our students ability to push themselves and survive through harsh conditions while learning how to successfully defend themselves. Beginners are advancing their skills and growing day by day.

Those that survived the advanced test, your hard work and dedication as you strive to prove that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to through the most stressful conditions makes me proud.

You are warriors.

Very few could endure what you put yourselves through yesterday and performed at the level which you did. Now try harder. Push yourselves further. Never be satisfied with your level of training. Better, stronger, faster. Proud but humble.

I am proud to be your instructor, each and every one of you. Keep up the great work and you can dominate anything that comes your way. Cutting Edge Kempo Karate forever.

Now get back on the mat.

Memorial Day ParadeAfter assembling at the Dojo at 10:00 am, we take the time to snap a few photos and then walk down the street to the Holbrook plaza where the parade will begin around 10:30. We will march south down Main Street to Furrows Road West to Grundy Avenue South up to the Vietnam Memorial on the corner of Grundy and Terry Roads.The entire march is around 1.15 Miles and should take us about a half an hour to complete.

I would like to see students, moms and dads alike show their pride not only in school but in country as we march through the streets of our community. Lets all have some fun  family time together!

See everyone there!

All tournament competitors meet at the Dojo, and bring your medals and trophies, be in uniform and bring a camera and we will take an awesome group photo of all of our fantastic competitors together in one shot!

For everyone’s convenience please use a piece of masking tape and a marker and write your name in an inconspicuous area of your trophy (if it is not personalized already) so we may set the trophies up for the shot, and know who to give the trophies back to at the end of the photo shoot!

The photo shoot shouldn’t take any longer than a half an hour or so, please be punctual and I look forward to seeing you all there! Great job everyone!
