January Newsletter 2025
Happy New Year!The start of a new year is always an exciting time for considering what we want to do and achieve for ourselves in this next trip around the sun. Our regular practice of the martial arts has great benefits for helping us to achieve success across many areas of our lives. Martial arts helps us improve focus and discipline, reduce stress, increase fitness and flexibility, improve our memory, and increase our self-discipline and confidence while gaining self-defense skills. Practicing together in a community such as ours brings friendship and support. We can’t think of a better way to begin a new year!
At the start of 2025, we’re also getting ready for a new Lunar New Year. We’ll celebrate the start of the Year of the Snake in classes on February 1st, and throughout January we’re hosting our 3rd annual raffle in support of the Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh. We’re once again raffling off the dojo’s animal sculpture (Sensei Dragon!), and this year we’ll have some additional gift baskets you can win. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20, and all proceeds will go to help the animals at HARP.
Read on for information and registration links for some exciting events planned at the studio, including SETpoint Empowerment Self-Defense sessions, our annual clinic with Senior Masters Lisa and Steve, and 2025 summer camps.
