Hardcore.  Drew started out in our K.I.C.K. program (Karate Inspired Cardio Kickboxing), but his intense "hardcore" work ethic left him hungering for more.  He then joined our Karate program and not only did he excel and get his yellow belt at record breaking time, but he quickly asserted himself as a dominant force in fighting in the adult program.
     It's hard not to like Drew, the smiles you see above are plentiful and the respect he gives his instructors and fellow students breeds respect in return.  He only has one workout speed as I mentioned above... hardcore.  Everything he does is done with full power and focus, throwing everything he has physically into every aspect of his training.  Since joining Karate, he still works out regularly in our cardio program, and Drew's intensity level has led him to a personal fitness achievement also, as the pounds keep falling off and he gets faster and stronger. 
     It was always a pleasure to have you in our K.I.C.K. program Drew, and it's downright exciting to have you as a part of our Karate program.  Awesome job.

        STUDENT OF THE MONTH

     We are now undergoing a Uniform Change at our Karate School.  We have been wearing our current Gi's for many years, but unfortunately we can no longer get them from our supplier, so we are changing the uniforms to the one shown above.
     The new uniform of solid black pants and a solid red top has been worn for years by myself (Sensei Butch) and closely resembles our old uniforms and school colors.
     The change will go in effect immediately, and all new students signing up will receive the newer Gi.  As always, nobody is required to switch to the new Gi, you are welcome to wear your current one until it needs replacement due to wear or being outgrown.
     We also are excited about the new "traditional" look of the Gi's we will now be wearing, and have no fear of needing to change them in the future. 
   
   NOTE!  Remember PATCHES are required on all Gi's!  We have noticed that a lot of students GI's have either no patches or are missing patches on them.  If you know or think you are missing patches, please see Mrs. Kim as soon as possible.
