Today we celebrate more than just a holiday — we celebrate the true reason for the season.

Easter is a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice and the incredible love of Jesus Christ. Because of Him, we are given grace, purpose, and the strength to keep moving forward — both on and off the mat.

At CTMA, we are grateful for the blessings in our lives, our students, our families, and this amazing community. We are reminded that everything we have and everything we are is because of Him.

May your day be filled with joy, peace, and time with the ones you love.

✝️ May God continue to bless you all 💗

Just wanted to take the time and express my gratitude to all of our instructors and mentors Papa George Lim, Tutu Patrice Lim for my Wife and her knowledge in Lim Hawaii Kenpo. Sr. Professor Shaw For teaching me and giving me the opportunity to grow and continuously offering me advice and guidance. Sifu Figueroa, Kelly Corder, and Mikey Lim for continuing our education and offering advice when needed. And finally Auntie Kailani Koa for blessing us with a name to express our gratitude to everyone involved in making our art possible, God and our Ohana.

Thank you all for guiding us and helping to create a new and wonderful art may God Bless you. We are forever grateful to our Ohana for making this all possible.

Dear Ohana,

Over the past five years, our journey together has been nothing short of a blessing. What began as a small interest group has grown into something deeply meaningful—a family built on faith, discipline, and shared purpose.
As we’ve grown, we’ve taken time to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and where we are being called to go. Through prayer, guidance, and many conversations, we are stepping into a new chapter as a dojo.
Moving forward, we will be embracing a bolder presence in both our identity and how we represent ourselves. This includes an updated look, beginning with a new logo that reflects the strength, faith, and unity that define us.
Along with this, our style now carries a name (Given by GM Kailani Koa) that fully represents our foundation and values:
N̄a Lima Ke Akua Ohana (“The Hands of God, and Family”)
This name honors our art, our faith, and the Ohana that has made all of this possible.
Thank you for being part of this journey—past, present, and future. We are proud to stand with you as we continue to grow stronger together.

I appreciate all of our instructors Papa George Lim, Tutu Patrice Lim, Sr. Professor Shaw, Sifu Figueroa, Kelly Corder, and Mikey Lim for guiding us and helping us to create a new and wonderful art may God Bless you. We are forever grateful.

With gratitude,

Sensei Brandon

🍂🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, CTMA Family! 🦃🍂

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the families, students, and supporters who make Crouching Tiger Martial Arts such a special community.

Thank you to every parent who trusts us with their children, to every student who shows up ready to learn, and to every family who encourages growth both inside and outside the dojo. From helping hands to kind words, from big moments to small gestures — your support has lifted us in more ways than we can count.

We are grateful for the strong relationships we’ve built, the perseverance we see every day, and the shared commitment to discipline, respect, and character. CTMA wouldn’t be what it is without each of you.

As we celebrate this season of gratitude, we pray today is filled with warmth, joy, and meaningful moments with the people you love. We look forward to finishing this year strong and continuing to grow together as one CTMA Family.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. 🧡

PAPA GEORGE LIM 🕊️
January 13, 1958 – October 25, 2025

Today we honor and remember a man whose impact extended far beyond the mat.

Thank you, Papa, for believing in us and for pushing us to be stronger — not only in our training, but in our hearts and in our lives. You taught us discipline, confidence, compassion, and the true meaning of perseverance. Those lessons will stay with us forever.

You were there for every milestone — from when my siblings and I started as white belts under your guidance, to the moments you proudly promoted us to black and brown belts. You promoted my brother to his 1st degree black belt, surprised me with my 2nd, and stood proudly as my husband earned his 4th degree (Master) at APSK. Just a few months ago, you were there again — cheering on our students as they tested for their advanced bests and even our first brown belts. Those memories will forever stay in our hearts.

Because of you, our lives changed in the best ways. Through your guidance and the community you built, I met lifelong friends — and through your yearly martial arts seminar, I met the man who would become my husband. That’s a gift I’ll always be grateful for.

Your spirit, laughter, and love will live on in every class, every bow, and every student you inspired.
You weren’t just our Grandmaster — you were our family.

We’ll carry your legacy with us always, Papa. ❤️🥋
