Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Everyone have a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year.

A very happy Thanksgiving from Sensei Smetak and IMA. Enjoy the time with loved ones.

FB just reminded me I haven't posted in a while.
Hey.
How's it going?
Just a reminder that we're back to full undiluted Martial Arts goodness. Fall classes in session and our students are excelling most righteously. Come check us out.

According to my "ignorant friend" intimately familiar with Isshin Ryu Karate, Chinese Kempo and Muay Thai boxing, this is more like it. Just saying for a friend.

Well done.

Day 2 of Summer Camp is in the can and was a raging success. No major injuries 💃😬🤣
When asked how awesome Kempo Camp is, the students had this to say.
Andrew DC - "It's unbelievable!"
Joey T - "How you doin'?"
Kim K - "I'd like to introduce you to this off the hook cryptocurrency, it's a social token called..." (poor deluded girl, we had to cut that off)
