To err on the side of safety, we have decided to temporarily close the karate studio. For the time being, there will be no group classes. We hope to resume January 4th, but we will see how things go. Thank you for your support!

Greetings Everyone,
Well, here we are in December. 2020 slowly drags to an end. It has been a challenging year for all of us. We have pulled together quite well. Thank you all for your ongoing support. We are hoping that 2021 will let us bring in guest instructors once again for expanding our kenpo knowledge.
This year we have seen many firsts, some are really awesome others, well, not so much. We have had so many promotions which makes us so proud of you all. We have added in just the last 45 days about 33 new students, so a huge welcome from us all. Welcome to our Kenpo family.
Here is a quote from Mr. Bob White which is what we also try to achieve, “Kenpo Karate has been my life’s work and I will always seek more information in my desire to improve. I watch videos often on the internet on techniques and forms. So many believe speed is the goal and as a result there is a lot of slapping and powerless effort. Mr. Farnsworth recently sent me a clip of him doing Form 6 and I showed it to some of our Black Belts. The comments were consistently positive and they agreed he did the form as if he was really fighting someone. We teach our forms to be learned in 3 stages. 1. Memorize 2. Visualize 3. Actualize, and it was great to see Mr. Farnsworth do this so well.”
Also, a special Congratulations to Benji Lee (who is a student of Mrs. Barbara White and a student at our school as well) on earning her Black Belt.
This month we will be having our flash sale Saturday, 12|05|20 from 1PM-5PM. We will have lots of special deals and great Christmas gifts. See you there.
Have a great Christmas.

Hey we made through another month, thanks to you all. We have added quite a few new students. If you haven’t already done so, please introduce yourself and welcome them to our karate family. We are still planning on having our Annual Christmas Party. That being said, we do have to wait and see what we are cleared to do. The Christmas Party is a fun time for all. I truly understand however, that we don’t want to risk anyone’s health or violate any laws.
Remember, we can keep going because of you, so please continue to support the studio. We realize it has been a tough year for so many (us as well). It is great to see so many returning to classes. We are truly blessed. We are hoping to be able to have guest instructors and speakers back soon as well. Here’s some pictures from previous events, I’m hoping we can resume soon. We have had so many friends visit us here, we thank them all. Stay tuned, 2021 will be the best year yet.

Well it’s October, yeah! A very special thank you to all those who have remained here and supported us even during our closing. Not a lot of news for this month. We are still open and adding new students, feeling very blessed. We miss our students that have not been back to join us.
We do have some exciting new events for 2021 as our nation opens back up. We cannot say when we will start, but when we are cleared to, we will be having a Guest speaker (FREE) once a month. Most likely on a Saturday. They will be martial arts stars, stunt people, gymnasts, movie stars, tv stars, movie producers, among other guests. We are trying to serve our community better in 2021. These guests will be mostly directed to our children, however we do encourage parents and all family to attend. We have other special events during the year as well, so stay tuned.
We are praying that international flights open up so we can have our very special friends from across the pond here. Some are of course, our Irish friends and Richard Norton. They all have the most incredible seminars. We will announce ahead of time who is coming and when they will be here.
We will be closed on Halloween (Saturday-10|31), Thanksgiving (Thursday-11|26), Christmas Eve (Thursday 12|24) and Christmas day (Friday 12|25).

Yep, we’re still here! It has been a challenging 6 months for all of us. We have done our very best to keep our studio open with certain restrictions. Though it has not been easy, we thank God everyday we are still here. Every week more of our students have returned, and new students have come to join us. A special thank you to all those who continued to support us during these tough times.
If you have any concerns please feel free to contact me via e-mail @ wycl55@sbcglobal.net. I will reply back as fast as possible.
We have no upcoming events or announcements at this time. We miss you all and are hopeful we will see you soon.
We have a couple of new things in the studio. We have a rack with shirts and uniforms (both partial & full) at discounted prices as well as shirts that have no logos on them. We also have a 20% discount on private lessons till the end of the year.
Thanks and we hope to see you very soon!
