🥋 2026 Crescent Moon Karate Annual Dojo Picnic!

What an incredible day celebrating the people who make Crescent Moon Karate more than a martial arts school—our CMK family and community.

Our annual Dojo Picnic brought together students, parents, instructors, friends, and families for a day of food, fun, laughter, and connection outside the dojo. These moments are an important part of what we believe martial arts should be about: building confidence, developing character, strengthening families, and creating a community where every student feels supported.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the 2026 CMK Dojo Picnic such a memorable event!

If you’re looking for a kids martial arts program in Los Angeles where your child can develop discipline, confidence, leadership, and lifelong friendships, we invite you to experience Crescent Moon Karate.

Confidence isn’t something children are simply born with—it’s something they build. 🥋

Every stance they hold, every technique they practice, and every challenge they overcome teaches them:

“I can do hard things.”

At Crescent Moon Karate, we’re not just teaching martial arts. We’re developing disciplined, confident young leaders who are prepared to stand strong—in the dojo, at school, and throughout life.

Ready to help your child discover what they’re capable of? Send us a DM to schedule their first lesson.

Here's What Happens After Your First Lesson:

Your child walks out with a smile. They're buzzing with energy. They felt challenged but not overwhelmed. They got real attention from an instructor who actually cared about their experience.

That's just the beginning.

Over the next 4-6 weeks, parents tell us they notice:

✓ Better listening at home (fewer "what did I just say?" moments)
✓ More focus on homework and tasks
✓ Increased confidence in new situations
✓ Taking responsibility without being asked
✓ Standing up for what's right
✓ Celebrating their classmates' wins
✓ Actually WANTING to come back

This isn't magic. It's what happens when a child is part of a structured community with clear standards and real mentorship.

The question isn't whether your child will benefit. The question is: Why wait?

Start today with our Starter Package: 3 beginner lessons + 1 private session with a black belt + official CMK t-shirt for just $19.99

No long-term commitment. No pressure. Just real training.

The Six Skills Your Child Develops at Crescent Moon Karate:

🎯 FOCUS
Your child learns to listen, watch, remember, and execute. These aren't just karate skills—they transfer straight to school, homework, and life.

💪 DISCIPLINE
Progress is earned through showing up and giving real effort. No shortcuts. No participation trophies. Just honest work and real results.

🤝 RESPECT
For parents, instructors, classmates, and themselves. It's taught, modeled, and expected every single day.

🧠 SELF-CONTROL
When to move, when to listen, when to speak. How to manage energy and emotions under pressure.

⭐ CONFIDENCE
Built through small wins, real challenges, and earned progress. Not empty praise. Real confidence that sticks.

👑 LEADERSHIP
As students grow, they learn to set the example for the kids behind them. They discover they have something to offer.

This is the Black Belt Mindset. This is what separates Crescent Moon Karate from every other karate class.

Some moments in martial arts define a lifetime.

Yesterday, I was deeply humbled to receive my 8th Degree Black Belt and the title of Hanshi from my instructor, Shihan Rick Herbster of Rising Sun Karate. Receiving this honor from the man who has guided my martial arts journey for decades is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.

What made the day even more meaningful was standing beside Shihan Herbster as we promoted my longtime student, Johnny Beano, to 5th Degree Black Belt and awarded him the title of Renshi.

To witness one generation honoring the next is what martial arts is truly about.

This ceremony took place before more than 40 Black Belts, including many of the highest-ranking martial artists in history, legends #—8th, 9th, and 10th Degree Black Belts. Standing among these legends, as a student receiving my own promotion, and as an instructor helping promote one of my own students, is an experience I will never forget.

A black belt is never the destination. Each rank represents a deeper commitment to service, leadership, humility, and the responsibility to preserve our art for the generations that follow.

Thank you, Shihan Rick Herbster, for your decades of mentorship, friendship, and belief in me. Your guidance has shaped not only my martial arts but the instructor and person I strive to be every day.

Congratulations to Renshi Johnny Beano. Watching your journey from student to instructor to 5th Degree Black Belt has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. I couldn’t be more proud of the man and martial artist you’ve become.

The greatest legacy isn’t the rank you wear—it’s the leaders you help create.

Osu.

The Parent Question We Hear Most: "Will my kid actually stick with it?"

Real answer: It depends on one thing.

When a child feels SEEN, challenged appropriately, and celebrated for REAL effort (not just participation), they WANT to show up. They develop grit. They push through the hard parts because they know it matters.

That's the difference between a karate class and a transformational experience.

At Crescent Moon Karate, we're not just teaching kicks and punches. We're building the foundation for lifelong resilience:

✓ Your child learns that effort = results
✓ They experience what it feels like to overcome a real challenge
✓ They get mentored by adults who genuinely care about their growth
✓ They're part of a community where everyone lifts each other up

Parents see the change in 4-6 weeks. Better focus. More confidence. Fewer power struggles.

The commitment? Start small. Our Starter Package is just $19.99 for 3 lessons + private session + t-shirt. See if it's the right fit for your family.

If it is, you've found something special. If it's not, no hard feelings.

This is what focus looks like. 💪

At Crescent Moon Karate, we don't just teach kicks and punches. We teach the mental discipline that transforms everything.

The same focus your child builds on the mat? It shows up in their homework, their confidence, their relationships, and their ability to handle challenges.

That's the Black Belt Mindset in action.

And that's exactly what the Back-to-School Focus & Confidence Guide teaches parents to cultivate at home.
