In what seems like the blink of an eye, another summer has almost vanished. This year, the phenomenal weather likely contributed to that feeling.

Being rough and tough martial arts warriors does not give us a license to disregard physical cleanliness. Developing and maintaining good personal hygiene is one of the foundations of self-respect, no matter how you spend your time. It also says a lot about your respect for others at the Academy!
We look forward to the start of another successful and fun year!
