Academy of Martial Arts

We had a lovely day at Garry Point in Steveston, simply taking our time and enjoying the beauty around us. We watched the kites dancing in the sky—and yes, people… pigs do fly! 🐷🪁😄
Sometimes, slowing down and enjoying the little things is exactly what we need. 🌊☀️ An ice cream and hot dog at the beach, followed by a bowl of noodle soup at a sidewalk café. Nothing fancy—just simple pleasures that go a long way.
Happy Sunday, peeps! Enjoy the day, take your time, and enjoy the little things. ❤️

It was an early start at the dojo for a good old crash-and-bang session with one of my top guns—who happens to be a third of my age! 🥋💥

All said and done, it was a lot of fun, a great workout, and a good reminder that age is just a number… although the recovery time might tell a different story! 😂

Always good to push yourself, train hard, and have some fun along the way.

Summer is almost over, and public school starts next week! 📚🥋

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the dojo and getting back into our regular training routines.

Stay sharp, stay active, and keep moving forward! 💪🥋

See you on the floor!

September morn...we danced until the night became a brand new day.

Another awesome, sweaty session at the dojo! 🥋🔥

We worked on stand up and ground fighting and challenged ourselves with some more gravity exercises on the high bar. It’d probably be easier if I weighed a little less… but hey—more weight for me to lift and more weight for me to suffocate them 💪 😅

Keep training, keep challenging yourself, and keep pushing those limits!

Another grading where our students displayed their absolute best. Their hard work, determination, and commitment were evident from start to finish.

Now comes the next challenge: over the next few weeks, they must demonstrate that they truly deserve the belts they tested for. The grading may be over, but the journey continues. 🥋

I had a good play date this morning. Stick/ knife fighting, along with stand up and ground. It was a great start to the day at the dojo. Happy Wednesday peeps.

From stand-up fighting, to the ground, and finally to sitting down—it was an engaging four hours from start to finish. We were exhausted, to say the least, but it was four hours well spent. Happy Friday peeps.

Congratulations to our three junior instructors on attaining their new levels and rising to the next stage of their journey! 👏🥋
They’ve been at the dojo all week, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.—running the kids’ summer camps, teaching classes, and then staying to train themselves.
That’s dedication. That’s commitment. That’s leadership.
They are machines with purpose, and we couldn’t be prouder of the example they’re setting for the next generation. Congratulations! 🥋💪
