Karate RX

Hoodies are HERE!

Boy do they look good! If you preordered one we will be giving them to you or your student when they come to class!

(If you sent us a note that it’s for Christmas we will smuggle it to you!)

If you didn’t pre-order but would like to buy one, comment what size and if we have any extra we will hold it for you!

Yesterday was a great day of testing for a handful of our students!

I’m very proud of how knowledgeable everyone is with their test material and the energetic focus displayed yesterday.

I don’t have any pics of our yellow and orange belt testers so feel free to send me some! 😬

It's time for some COACH Yena appreciation!

Yena has been at KRX for almost 3 years. She started on Saturday mornings with Fitness Kickboxing. For those of you who train with her it may be hard to believe, but she was very quiet!

A few round kicks into her first class it became very apparent she had trained before. After some inquiry she revealed that she had earned a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do when she was growing up.

She trained during the pandemic online and convinced her daughter Addie to join in as well. When we opened up for classes again she began training in our karate program with her daughter.

Everything Yena does in her life is done to the best standard possible. She earned her 2nd Degree black belt here despite her deep hatred of running. She trains more at home and puts in more preparation for her karate training than any student I have ever taught.

She started competing when we started our competition team almost two years ago. She researches tournaments and thinks of new creative movements for our forms all of the time.

Yena loves organizing social events and put together a fantastic 5 year celebration party in June for the kids and the adults.

On top of all this she teaches our youngest competition team and is preparing them for their first tournament in a few months.

Thank you for all of your hard work COACH Yena!

So proud of our competition team who competed yesterday in the GoldBar National Karate Tournament!

KRX took home a bunch of rings and more importantly everyone has improved and got more experience in the competition setting.

Let’s celebrate, rest a bit and then get back to work so we are even better at our next tournament.
