What a historic day for Mercer Island! 🚆✨
Today marked the arrival of our light rail, and the energy was incredible. Thousands of people came out to celebrate this exciting milestone for our community. It was amazing to see so many families and neighbors show up and be part of the day.
We were there, and our students put on an amazing demonstration—we couldn’t be prouder of how well they did! So many people stopped by our booth to say hello, and we even had the chance to reconnect with some former students, which made it even more special.
We are so excited to have been a part of this incredible day!

We are so excited to celebrate Instructor Shan-Tia Booker as she becomes a 3rd Degree Black Belt! 🥋
Shan-Tia has been training here at Mercer Island Martial Arts since she was just nine years old. Over the years, we have watched her grow not only into an exceptional martial artist but into an incredible leader and role model for the next generation of students walking through our doors.
Her dedication, perseverance, and heart for our community inspire everyone around her. Watching her reach this milestone has been truly special for all of us.
We could not be prouder of her and all that she has accomplished. Congratulations, Shan-Tia! 👏
