Hello all. We just heard some terrible news that one of our former young students, Connor Fontes was involved in a car accident. He is in critical but stable condition and has a tough fight ahead of him. Please take the time to donate to his go fund me page and keep him in your prayers. We hope you are all doing well and safe. God Bless.

On June 7, 2021, the Fontes family received a horrific call that their daughter Chlo… Jennifer Miller needs your support for Prayers for the Fontes Family

Hello all,
It is with a heavy heart and regret that we will be closing the doors of 5 Rings Martial Arts effective November 1, 2019.
As many of you may have noticed, business has been slowing down over the last year or so. It has been a financial burden to keep 5 Rings open for a while now. With the lack of numbers and increasing expenses we had no choice but to close down. We have tried our best to turn things around. Unfortunately it did not work out as planned.
Furthermore, Sifu Tom's injuries due to a recent accident has made it extremely difficult and painful for him to run classes. He has tried his best to keep 5 Rings going, despite the advice of doctors. Ultimately, his doctors instructed him that, in order to prevent further and potentially permanent damage, he will have to stop physical activity indefinitely.
We have cancelled all payments earlier this month in order to do our best to provide fair services that were paid for the month of October. Please contact us if there are any problems and we will do our best to rectify.
In conclusion, we would like to thank all of you for your continued support and friendship over the years. Words cannot express the gratitude and privilege it has been to teach all of you.
To our parents:
Thank you for entrusting us to teach your children these past 7 years. Some of you have been with us from the beginning. It has been an amazing experience to witness our students grow from children into young adults. We hope we have added something positive to their lives. We have always done our best to teach them with open hearts and pour every ounce of knowledge we had into our classes.
This has been an amazing experience for us. It is one that we will both never forget and carry in our hearts for the rest of our lives. The laughs, conversations, friendships that were made... We wish you all the best of luck and health going forward.
To our Students (past and present):
It was an honor to be your instructors. We are so very proud of all of you. We sincerely hope you have enjoyed training with us and our company for these past years. You have taught us as much as we have taught you.
We urge you to never stop training. This is a lifetime journey. Never stop. Seek out new places to train...new methods. Don't forget what we have taught you. Take the hits, get up, hit back. Not just on the mat, but in life.
Thank you all for the years.
With much love and respect,
Sifu Anthony Buzantian
Sifu Tom Walker

Hi All.



Sifu Tom here. We have been trying to get together belt promotions since August. We need a few things to get this going. I notice that our system is leaving some of you off email, and I can't figure out why. So posting here.

1. Belt sizes for each students.
2. Juniors, a few of you are going for major belt promotions. We understand school is challenging. However, we need a bit more consistent attendance to get ready.
3. We will coordinate the dates for each class in the next week.
4. Bring sparring gear. It is a must in the next several classes.

Thank you, all. A lot of you have been doing some very solid work in here when you're here. Let's build on it and get these belts handed out. Several of you will be skipping a belt or more.

Best,



Sifu Tom and Sifu Anthony

Hi Folks.



I'm adding a 3rd day starting next Monday at 5:45 PM for the Little Dragons. This is meant to give current and future members an additional opportunity to make classes. It would still be a 2 day a week program under the current pricing scheme. If anyone wants to train for 3 days a week, then the price would be $145 per month, or $10 more per month on a standard membership. II hope this helps with everyone's schedules, as the school year has begun.

Best,



Sifu Tom

We normally take a week's vacation during the summer. This year we obviously didn't. We are closing tomorrow and the remaining Fridays in August, given that the summer is ending. Thanks, all.
