Summer Student Success

Seeing more than 100 families and students visit First Choice Martial Arts yesterday was great, and it seems the slump just before summer has worn off. Students are motivated, energized, and enthusiastic, and it looks like the focus is back with a vengeance!

During our first couple of weeks of weapons training, students are excited to learn the new curriculum in each lesson. You might think on a hot summer day in the middle of July it would be easy to stay indoors, but the attendance and attitudes show otherwise.

We also want to recognize some of our lucky winners in today’s first Summer Fest draw: Dylan McGimpsey, Omar Abdou, Rowan Reid, Christian Almeida, and Kyle Arzadon. Your prizes are at the school for pick-up when you are out next, and we wish you luck in the next draws.

We will continue our training this week, and next week will be stripe testing as well. After that, we will begin our first introduction to sword training, and we can’t wait to see the technique evolve. Keep in mind we have plenty of foam bokkens for our students, so do not worry if you do not have that training aid.

Keep up the great work and we look forward to your continued progress!
