Its March! Spring is in the Air!

That also means we'll start a March focus on improving flexibility, agility, and strength. If you know anyone who would like to get some group motivation to improve, they are welcome to join us for March, free.

We've also added Wednesday, 6:30 pm to our class schedule. If Tuesday or Thursday is inconvenient, stop by Wednesday.

March will be the month of strength, flexibility, and agility. We'll focus on improving these things with only a little formal karate. Can't let that stuff slip, regardless of the benefits of a different focus.
If you'd like to join us for the month to let our group help you improve, reach out or stop by. See our schedule at morningstarkarate.com.

Snow Day!
It's snowing here in Sykesville and with the hills leading into town, it is prudent to be safe so all Saturday classes are cancelled. Be safe, and see everyone next class.

Morning Star Martial Arts is proud to have supported the M. Peter Moser Community Initiatives program at Sinai Hospital with a Self-Defense Seminar. Always have a receptive audience and we're happy to participate.
We talked about avoidance strategies, what tools a person has, and had a brief discussion (for the parents in the room) of our Four Rules for Parents and Children, a set of teachings that help keep kids safe.

Thanks to all who attended our Holiday Seminar. We focused on Itsitsu no Waza, a routine the illustrates the five fighting principles of Shorinjiryu Karate: Redirection, escape and counterattack, sacrifice, opposites, and direct attack.
Let's do this again next year!
Happy Holidays!
