Studio Events and Updates
🥋 Color Belt Testing – September 11th & 12th
Thursday, September 11th: 4:15 pm or 6:00 pm
Friday, September 12th: 6:00 pm
In my own evolution as an instructor, I’m always looking for ways to improve how we help students grow. Starting this testing cycle, each Color Belt Testing will have a general theme.
For September, our focus is “Active Defense” — being proactive in blocking, parrying, dodging, and countering. Students must show they can protect themselves without giving their opponents “free strikes.”
To earn the right to test, students must:
Show a strong grasp of their techniques
Demonstrate consistent good effort in class
Carry a positive, uplifting attitude that sets an example for others
I’ll notify parents and students 2–3 weeks prior if their child has earned the opportunity to test. More details will be sent soon!
🤝 Buddy Week – September 15th–19th
Students can invite friends from school or the neighborhood to join them for an exciting week of:
Partner & group exercises
Self-defense drills & de-escalation techniques
Obstacle courses & games
It’s a great way to share the benefits of martial arts while making memories with friends!
📸 EKA Photo Day – September 24th
Our first ever Photo Day is here! Students will have the opportunity to:
Pose for professional martial arts photos
