Happy Birthday, Master Alex! 🥳

Master Alex is a leader in our school and teaches our advance classes. He teaches our advanced students, with a particular touch for readying testing candidates and black belts. 🥋

Did you know he has been training martial arts since he was 8 years old?! He has trained in many arts, including Jeet Kune Do and Shaolin Five Animal Fist. 🐅

Master Alex was inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2020, and has also written books on martial arts.

We appreciate all that Master Alex brings to our school. Wish him Happy Birthday in the comments!! 👇 🎉

Summer is here and we're getting ahead on our goals! 🌟

If you ask our students, they'll tell you the dojo has become like a second family, or their home away from home. We take that seriously! Our community is what truly sets us apart, and our students are what make the dojo an amazing place. 🙌

We love seeing families on the mat, training and growing together - not to mention, seeing kids grow up learning the tenets of our school:

✅️ Courtesy - I treat others as I want to be treated.
✅️ Integrity - I am accountable for my words & actions.
✅️ Perseverance - I motivate myself to get it done.
✅️ Self Control - I am in charge of my attitude & behavior.
✅️ Indomitable Spirit - I can overcome all obstacles.

Stronger families, stronger children, stronger communities. 🥋

A few highlights of the throws and takedowns from our recent advanced black belt test. 💥

Throws and takedowns are a core part of Hapkido — using momentum, timing, leverage, proximity, and often joint locks to control and redirect an opponent.

We are proud of the control, technique, and intensity these students brought to the mat. 🥋🖤
