Proud moment!

A class with people 18-40yo, white to green belts, all working together and training hard (we are missing two other white belts from this photo). This is a tough age demographic these days in martial arts, especially karate! Usually you see thriving kids programs which then feed adult programs as they age and/or their parents become interested, or you have a very experienced black belt class where there are many years of time put on the dojo floor.

Had the share! Grateful for the students here!

Last night we were able to present Sensei Rico with his Hanshi belt (9th degree black belt with a teaching title of Hanshi, represented by the 4 gold stripes on the belt)!

This is an amazing accomplishment involving decades of training and teaching, in addition to perseverance through all life has to offer. Congratulations, Sensei Rico, on a well deserved and earned promotion!

Sensei Rico, along with all of those who train here, are the ones who make this place special and why we earned 2026 Dojo of the Year! We couldn’t do it without amazing people like Sensei Rico!

Promoted—Scott!!

This man has come a long way from night one and gleefully takes to sparring with every opportunity he can. It is apparent he takes the time to practice outside of class and we love having him as part of the program!!
