Great seminar Saturday. Hard to believe that it's been over 30 years since me, GM Rick Ward, and Sifu Brian Moran were in an apprenticeship class together under GM David Kash. Great times. We're still at it. "The Mountain Brothers Are Here"

Blue Ridge Kung Fu Arnis Academy of Abingdon is looking to open up NEW daytime classes—and we want your input!

We’re currently considering:
- Monday and/or Friday
- 1 PM, 2 PM, or 3 PM
- Morning options are possible with enough interest (Wednesday at 9 AM is one idea)

We’ve seen great success with daytime classes for homeschool families at our Mountain City, TN location, and we’d love to offer something similar here. These times can also work well for adults on second-shift schedules.

Not seeing a time that works for you? Let us know anyway—we’re happy to build a class around interest!

Private lessons are also available and can be scheduled to fit your needs.

If you're interested, reach out to us:
- Send a Facebook message
- Email: [email protected] (please put “Daytime Classes” in the subject)
- Text: 423-727-4474

Let’s build something that works for our community—tell us what schedule fits you best!

Our current schedule was recently posted below.
Please share to friends that may be interested.
Thank you.
