Monday. Mat. No excuses. 💪

06/05/2026

It's day one of Mental Health Awareness Month.

Most parents will scroll past it. Save a graphic. Share a quote.

A few will actually do something different this month.

Enroll your child in something hard, structured, and human. 💪 Watch what 30 days does.

Vitali Family Karate is here when you're ready. → https://vitalifamilykarate.com/kids-martial-arts-in-person-classes/

Good morning. As posted by me previously, I don't post much on Facebook anymore. I'm currently in my 36th year of teaching after-school programs. I'm still teaching at Eastminster Presbyterian (33 years), Shandon United Methodist (31 years) and Asbury Methodist (21 years). Ages 3,4 & 5. But your child must be attending their school in order to take my classes. They either post info for me on their web page or happily provide info if you call them. You may contact me as well. Just wanted to wish all a Happy Holiday Season. Mr. Blane

Hope all are ready to enjoy Summer. Again, I don't post much here as you have to be enrolled at the schools I teach at in order to take my classes. You can go to their web sites for more info or contact me directly. This past school year was my last at both Timmerman School (I was there 33 years) and Trenholm Rd. United Methodist (I was there 30 years). I will miss them. Mike Genova Family Karate will be taking over going forward. If interested in either program, please contact them. I'll continue teaching at Excelsior Academy, Eastminster Presbyterian, Shandon United Methodist and Asbury Memorial United Methodist. Have a great summer...I look forward to seeing everyone back in the Fall. PS. I'll be doing a weeklong summer camp for Eastminster June 12th thru June 16th.

Good evening, Happy Summer Vacation Time to all. Hey families. I've mostly stopped using this page as it never had much response and also due to fact that children must be enrolled at all of my private schools in order to take my class(es). I post this as I just had some free time and don't want to miss anyone that I could help. Contact me at email [email protected] or call (803)667-2190. Stay Cool. PS Was honored to receive my 8th Degree Black Belt on May 26th from the SC High Dan Board.
