What a fantastic night on the mats at Kontact Martial Arts Academy! 🥋
​We had the honor of hosting Master Trevor Lewis of Lewis' Karate Schools at the dojo, who came up north to present me with my 2nd Degree Black Belt and official school certification. I’m extremely grateful for the recognition and his continued guidance as a Sensei and Coach.
​He didn't just visit—he stepped right onto the mats with us to help teach a 1-hour Karate class and a 1-hour Jiu-Jitsu class. The energy in the room was fantastic. I also want to give a huge shoutout to our Demo Team for putting on an amazing performance. A special congratulations to the students who earned their new stripes/grading invitations; having them awarded by the Master himself made it a great moment for the academy.
​After the training was done, it was great to step off the mats to break bread, share some laughs, and just enjoy an evening talking martial arts and life.
​A sincere thank you to Master Lewis and Miss Sandy for making the trip, for your ongoing friendship, and for everything you do to support our academy. It is always appreciated.
​Osu! 🙏

As a martial artist, our journey of learning never truly ends. Last night, I had the profound honor of being awarded my Nidan (2nd Degree Black Belt) in Shotokan-Kempo Karate.
​Enduring the rigorous 15-hour test was one of the most physically and mentally demanding challenges I have ever faced. But more importantly, it was a powerful reminder of the principles I strive to instill in every student at Kontact Martial Arts Academy: unwavering discipline, deep respect, and the absolute truth that rank is always earned, never given. As a Sensei, I believe that to teach effectively, I must also lead by example.This is Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch going through 6 boards...
​I could not have reached this milestone alone. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my family and friends for their endless support, and to all of my students. Your dedication and hard work on the mats inspire me to keep growing and pushing my own limits every single day.
​We celebrate the milestone, but the work continues. See you on the mats! 🥋🔥

The message is simple and non-negotiable: the mat is a mirror, and what you bring to it is exactly what you get back.

In both Shotokan Karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, respect is our foundation. What version of me you get depends entirely on you. Give respect, and you'll find a lifelong ally. Show hostility, and you will meet the force.

As martial artists, we are taught to respect and de-escalate, but we are trained to handle whatever comes our way with absolute discipline. The choice isn't mine to make; it’s the reflection I show you.

Always remember our code: Strike with Honour, Grapple with Courage, Defend with Heart. 👊🥋⚡️

Congratulations to all of those who graded last month!

Another Blackbelt Test in the books. The never-ending journey continues! 😁
​Today was a massive milestone. Surviving a 15-hour test to achieve my 2nd Degree Black Belt (Nidan) in Shotokan Karate was one of the most physically and mentally demanding things I’ve ever done. It truly pushed me to my limits and reminded me what I'm capable of.
​I couldn’t have reached this point alone. Thank you to Master Trevor Lewis for continually pushing me to the next level, and to Jenni, my kids, and my entire Kontact Martial Arts Academy, Lewis' Karate Schools family for everything you do for me. Thank you for always having my back and reminding me how strong I am when I need it most.
​Proud of the new rank, but even more proud of the work it took to get here. Being a true Leader is leading by example. Earned Not Given!!! Ousss!!!!

Last night's grading session was a huge success thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone involved, great job!
