…and our annual Cutting Edge Kempo College Scholarship Award goes to…..

Congratulations Nidan Ashley Fuchs!

All your hard work and dedication has paid off. As you embark on this new chapter in your life, your Cutting Edge Kempo Karate family is right there with you every step of the way!

Nidan Ashley is enjoying a month long backpacking trip through Alaska at the moment, an epic undertaking that would make any outdoors person jealous. Then upon her return it’s already prep time to begin her new schooling adventure!

Our students excel at everything they put their minds to, and become members of society that we can all be proud of, making great strides and accomplishments through hard work and dedication.

Don’t forget to get in and visit us on those breaks in between sessions and Holidays, practice vigilantly, find training partners to keep your skills sharp, and most importantly after all the hard school work is done…

…Get back on the mat.

We will be marching in the annual Holbrook Memorial Day Parade again this year, and we want you all to join us and show your School Spirit!

We will meet at the Dojo on Monday May 30th at 10:00 am, make sure you wear all your Cutting Edge Kempo Karate apparel proudly!!!

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!

We are proud to announce our College Scholarship Award!

We are so very happy to announce that we have rolled out our College scholarship program. This is something I myself have wanted to do for our students for such a long time now, and I am proud to be able to offer any help I can to our dedicated students as they embark on a new leg of their journey in life. Our Martial Arts training is so much more than punching and kicking, and those of you who have been part of the Kempo family for some time now understand that we work hand in hand with all our family members in any capacity to offer guidance in the Martial Arts, school work, peer interaction, bully prevention, home life and anywhere else the individual needs help or advice or even just a neutral listening ear to bounce thoughts and feelings off of, we are always here. It seems appropriate that we try to help those that have dedicated many years of their life to the Martial Arts as they move forward, in the hopes that what we have offered will assist them along the way. The respect of treating each other the way we wish to be treated, the discipline of doing the things we have to do and not giving in to the enormous amounts of peer pressure we are surrounded by and the self control to think before we speak and not to react emotionally even in the heat of the moment, as well as knowing no one is allowed to touch you without your express permission and the ability to neutralize anyone who breaks that rule are the qualities that make a Martial Artist.

What we do is not a sport. What we do is not an activity. What we do is who we are.

Now when you are preparing for college, we want to be there for you as well so be sure to check out the Cutting Edge Kempo Karate College Scholarship page by clicking here and get all the details you need to apply today.

Also, since we are rolling out our new scholarship program late in the year, we will be extending our application deadline date this year only to May 31st 2016.

Thank you all for your dedication and hard work in the Martial Arts and beyond!
