New Class Schedule for Adults Starting September 1!

We are so very happy that our already sizeable adult student population has grown so much! In order to provide for you the best training we have split the adult class Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings into beginner only and intermediate / advanced classes.

We are still offering you the same great deal, six days a week for all age groups and we even alternated the later night between groups to keep it fair for everyone!

The new class schedule, which starts September 1st, can be found by clicking here.

The kids schedule remains the same, only adults have changed on three days of the week.

I will update the schedule page in the upcoming weeks, but wanted to offer an advanced copy for those who like to plan ahead.

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.

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.

See everyone there!

Tournament Competitor Picture Day!

Save the date!

Saturday March 26th @ 4:15 PM

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!

2016 Kempo Tournament a great success for Cutting Edge Kempo

With 62 competitors in the 2016 Kempo Martial Arts Invitational tournament, all of our Cutting Edge Kempo students represented their Dojo well. Winning a trophy has nothing to do with competing in a martial arts tournament. It takes a lot of guts to perform in front of a large capacity crowd, in front of judges you are not familiar with, but the experience of meeting other martial artists and sharing your love of the arts is irreplaceable.

As your instructor I am proud of all of you, trophy or not. You all are winners for taking on the daunting task of training the way we do, in hopes of enhancing your life skills while getting in shape. Great job everyone!

Here are a few of the photos people have shared of the event, and I will post more as I get them.

More successful testing in February

After a grueling three hour mental and physical exam, our second set of intermediate and advanced students endured and all did a fine job. These kids have been training most of their lives at this point, some for almost ten years now and it really shows, even when they are put under pressure.

After the more advanced group, another group of beginners came in to do their very best, and much like their advanced brothers from earlier, they killed it! I see lots of potential in these beginning students, both young and ‘young at heart’.

Great job everyone, I am very proud to be your instructor.

Now get back on the mat.

 

We are open – be careful on the roads

So the roads don’t seem too bad out there, so classes are on for tonight. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!! Use common sense, exercise caution, leave plenty of time to get to class and DO NOT RUSH and by all means if you feel unsafe TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS and stay home, there will be plenty of other classes.

We are open
