OCTOBER 2026
👋 Welcome New Students!
We’re excited to welcome our newest dojo family members this month!
If you have any questions or personal needs, please see Kyoshi, Sensei Coy, Kyoshi Price, or
Sensei Olivia.
Bully Prevention Month
At it’s very heart, Martial Arts is about the preservation of life. It’s about building people up and empowering them. This is why our school is so involved with eliminating bullying. Bullying not only hurts mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically, but it steals the very spirit of the one being bullied and makes them feel bad about themselves.
This month, our Dojo will focus on specific skills and strategies to help our students eliminate the terrible effects of bullying.
