Huge shoutout to Eloise!
One of our students, Eloise Richmond, spoke at Post 54 this week about her Black Belt community service project, collecting socks and hygiene items for local veterans in need.

This cause is close to her heart and honors her grandfather, Eugene Richmond, a veteran and former Post 54 commander.

Proud of you, Eloise — keep leading with heart.

At the recent Post 54 member meeting, 10 year old Eloise Richmond made a presentation before the members. Eloise is a student at Art Beins Karate and Kickboxing, here in Freehold, and will be testing for her black belt in July.

To meet the requirements for the black belt test, each candidate must perform community service. Part of the black belt curriculum and training is about dedication, compassion and giving back to the community. For her service project, Eloise has chosen a cause that is very important to her family, supporting and honoring veterans.

Eloise will be collecting items, such as socks and hygienic items, that will be given to military veterans in need living in the area. Eloise's grandfather, the late Eugene Richmond, was a veteran and past commander of Post 54 from 1990-1992. The Richmond family has always been good to the post and Eloise is carrying on a family tradition.

Anyone wanting to donate to the veterans can drop items off at the post for the next week or so.

Shown here with Eloise are Post 54 Commander Vincent Bruno and Unit 54 Auxiliary Treasurer, Christa Dailey.

The martial arts world lost one of the greatest, if not the greatest of all time, Chuck Norris today. This picture hangs proudly in our dojo. It was taken right after Chuck Norris presented Grandmaster Beins with the "National Instructor of the Year" Award in California.

Chuck Norris spent over 50 years as one of the top advocates for the martial arts, not just as a combat sport, but as a comprehensive tool for building character, discipline, and mental health. He famously stated that "the kicking and punching is only the vehicle to strengthen the individual as a person", a mantra that ABK shares as a core value of our program. He was instrumental in the growing popularity of martial arts in the 1980's and beyond and all dojo owners are indebted to him for that. Rest in peace Sir..........
