July 2026 Newsletter
We've reached the half-way point of another year, and June was a whirlwind of activity! Our annual summer camp for kids was a joyful celebration of the martial arts and life: we learned and performed a traditional form with the bo staff, played games, had thoughtful discussions on leadership, hiked, and made art. This marked our 21st annual summer camp since our founding, with each one bringing special memories. We're already looking forward to next year! And if you're a kid-at-heart, don't miss our 5th annual camp for adults from October 2 through 4.
We know that martial arts training provides many benefits to our lives off the mats: physical fitness, confidence, focus, determination, perseverence, balance. In this month's blog, Sensei Joe writes about an epic wild honey bee rescue that employed all the skills he's cultivated through martial arts training. Do you have a story about how your training in the martial arts helped you through a challenging situation? Tell us here!
Please note that the studio will be closed for the July 4th holiday. Happy 250th! The summer heat is definitely ON. Stay safe as you train and enjoy summer activities: take frequent breaks, use plenty of sunscreen, and drink LOTS of water.
