Back-To-School Shout-out!

Whether you're studying to be a doctor, an artist, or even heading back to grade school—your club family is here cheering you on. We can’t wait to see you between classes and hear all about your adventures!

When the assignments pile up, the exams start lurking, and your brain feels like it’s running on fumes—the laughter, movement, and glorious organized chaos of our training will be sure to knock out your stress (just please don’t knock out each other—evade, parry, counter anyone?).

We’re right here with you. You’ve got this.

 

Where'd The Summer Go?!

Summer brought sunshine and vacations, summer camps and camping, laughter, friendship, and more than a few kicks and throws.

Now, as school bells ring and routines return, the air’s a little crisper, and the lazy days drift behind us. With warm cocoa and pumpkin-spice-everything on the horizon, we’re excited to launch additional training for members!

Open training drop-ins for members begin September 4th and will rotate biweekly. I can’t wait to see what everyone decides to work on this season!

 

Clunk. Thud. Giggle?

They say time flies when you're having fun, and boy does time fly!

We bow in and stretch out. The air fills with the sound of limbs striking pads, there's laughter, more striking. Time to switch up. Now someone's being thrown. Laughter erupts from another pair. The evening slyly slips by.

Techniques are quietly becoming second nature, beyond the awareness of their practitioners. We bow out. There's friendly chit chat and the fighters depart as friends happily declaring, See you next... 

 

Strikes & Deflections & Take-Downs, Oh my!

On nights the mats come out, something shifts. For some, it’s the pads. For others, the ‘beating sticks’. For me? It’s the mats.

We train for self-defense, and in doing so, we tap into karate’s roots—not just strikes or throws, but a full system of movement, intention, and adaptability. 

Each move is precise. Each landing, controlled. There’s a quiet intensity to it. A rhythm. A trust. And yes, a whole lot of fun.

We move, we learn, we laugh. And sometimes, we fly—just for a moment—before we’re (gracefully, we hope) surrendered to the mat.
